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.
