A legacy of trees to mark Queen’s long reign

In early 2022, the Coalition Government announced the Planting Trees for the Queen’s Jubilee program.

Marking the significance of the late Monarch’s 70-year reign, funding was provided to every electorate across Australia for community-based tree planting programs.

Federal Member for Bass Bridget Archer said nine community organisations and schools from across northern Tasmania shared in $100,000 in funding through the program.

“From Scottsdale High School students working together to create an arboretum on their school farm to Tamar NRM and West Tamar Landcare joining forces to plant more than 500 trees at the Frankford Memorial Hall, communities have connected to create a legacy of tree plantings in her Majesty’s memory,” Mrs Archer said. The nine successful recipients are: Bridport Golf Club; Flinders Island District High School; Greens Beach Golf Club; Mowbray Golf Club; Rotary Club of West Tamar; Scottsdale High School; Tamar NRM and West Tamar Landcare; West Tamar Council; and Winnaleah District High School .
