A RECORD tree planting event took place at Castle Eden Walkway.
The British Trust for Conservation Volunteers, Tees Forest and Stockton Borough Council, joined forces to plant more than 2,000 trees as part of Esso National Tree Week.
The planting was part of an attempt to set a Guinness world record for tree planting over three consecutive days.
Event organiser Clare Lowe said: "We wanted to encourage as many people as possible to take part in a great way to help the environment."
On Friday, Lord Crathorne, the Mayor of Middlesbrough, Councillor Kath Bevington, and pupils from Ayresome Primary School, helped plant more than 500 trees at Maze Park, a former railway marshalling yard and tip, on the south bank of the River Tees.
