The Trust has uncovered a forgotten treasure, the Royal Record of King George VI’s Coronation. This incredible record details all the tree planting undertaken by thousands of schools, parishes, organisations and homeowners in 1936/7, in gardens, parks and public spaces, and even names the individuals across the UK and the world who planted the trees.
We have taken on the painstaking challenge of digitising the 1937 Royal Record. It is now available online for the very first time for you to search the records and locate trees planted near them, find out if relatives or neighbours planted trees.
Please click on the book to see all this great information and detail of the original book, even down to the sounds of pages turning. The only thing we couldn’t replicate is the amazing old book smell!

Take your place in the new Royal Record
Inspired by the discovery of the Royal Record of King George VI's Coronation, which details thousands of celebration trees, we are creating a new Record of trees planted in 2012 for the Diamond Jubilee. Tell us how and why you are involved in Jubilee Woods by registering below and mark your very own contribution on our online map. At the end of the project we will present our collection of records to The Queen as well as preserving a copy in the British Library for generations to come.
