Queen Mary Plants an Oak Tree in Fælledparken, Copenhagen

In Fælledparken, Copenhagen, Queen Mary of Denmark planted an oak tree alongside Lord Mayor Lars Weiss. The change of reign is being marked in a special way with tree plantings in both Copenhagen and the Queen's birthplace, Hobart. While an oak tree has been planted in Copenhagen, a blue gum eucalyptus tree—the official symbol of the Australian state of Tasmania—is being planted in Hobart. This joint tree-planting initiative was proposed by the Hobart City Council to honor the Queen, who hails from their city.
