Planting trees for a world record on Wednesday

Participants from Island Timberlands and local high schools will try to break the world record for the most trees planted in one hour

Participants from Island Timberlands and local high schools will gather in Qualicum Beach tomorrow (May 20) to take part in a North America wide attempt to break the world record for the most trees planted in one hour.

More than 30 teams of 25-100 (totalling over 1,400) will simultaneously plant saplings from 10-11 a.m. in an effort organized by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI).

Bringing together business, community organizations and youth groups, they expect to plant over a quarter-million new trees.
