Hainault Forest in London and the Trust's largest site in England, Heartwood Forest were the scene of a world record attempt as part of the BBC's "Tree O'Clock" campaign on Saturday December 5th.
The teams were attempting to break the record for the most trees planted in one hour by 100 volunteers - 18,124 trees, the record previously held by the Forestry Commission in Scotland.
Both teams smashed the previous record, with 20,312 trees planted at Hainault Forest and 20,326 trees planted at Heartwood Forest. So a big well done to all teams that took part.

However, a third planting site in Londonderry, organised by Conservation Volunteers Northern Ireland planted over 26,000 trees, setting the new Guinness World Record.
We also had a number of other planting sites and as part of Tree O’Clock the Woodland Trust will have planted over 70,000 trees across the UK, enough trees to cover 55 football pitches. This figure combined with all the hundreds of thousands of other trees planted by individuals at many sites and in back gardens, will go on having lasting benefits for native wildlife, for people and our environment for generations to come.
