Tees Valley Wildlife Trust and BBC Breathing Places would like to that everyone who helped in the attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the number of trees planted in one hour in multiple locations.
Over 80 members of the public, local cubs and scouts were joined my Councillor Paul Kirton the Mayor of Stockton on Preston Farm Nature reserve on Saturday and managed to plant a total of 1247 trees in 60 minutes.
The event was part of National Tree Week and was part of an attempt to plant a million trees across the country beating the current record of 653,143 trees.
The tree planting is part of the creation of a new nature reserve on 17 hectares of farmland, on the floodplain ad valley sides of the River Tees at Preston Farm in Stockton.
The trees planted through event contribute to the planned 12500 which will form a new woodland linking areas of ancient semi-natural woodland at Bassleton Woods and Preston Hall.
