The Queen has encouraged anyone who wants to mark the jubilee to do so by planting trees. On 6 February this year, the 70th anniversary of the Queen's accession to the Throne, I announced that the Government on behalf of New Zealanders would make a donation of $1 million to Trees That Count, to assist with tree-planting programmes across the country to mark the jubilee. A popular short walk on Rakiura / Stewart Island will also be formally renamed in honour of Her Majesty's long reign. The track to Observation Rock from the settlement of Oban will be renamed the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Path—also known as the Platinum Path for short.
