Lancefield and St Mary’s Primary Schools, Landcare and the Park Committee are taking part in the Tree Planting for the Queen’s Jubilee Program and will be planting 200 trees on the Lancefield Park reserve behind the Lancefield Primary School.

The Queen’s Jubilee Program provides up to $15.1 million of grants in 2022 to eligible groups and organisations for community-based tree planting and commemorative events. The events honour 70 years of dedicated service (Platinum Jubilee) by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, to Australia and the Commonwealth.

Her Majesty reached the Platinum Jubilee milestone in June 2022 and passed away on 8 September 2022. At this time of mourning, community-based tree planting and commemorative events funded through the Planting Trees for The Queen’s Jubilee Program will proceed as planned in honour of The Queen and her 70 years of service as Australia’s Head of State.
