“The Guinness World Records has recognized the Davao City’s ‘Treevolution: Greening MindaNOW’ project last September as having posted the most number of trees planted simultaneously in multiple locations,” reports Edith Regalado in The Philippine Star.

Guinness World Records said in a statement: “The most trees planted simultaneously at multiple locations is 2,294,629, achieved by 122,168 participants in an event organized by ‘TreeVolution: Greening MindaNOW’ (Philippines) at 29 locations across the Philippines on 26 September 2014. This record-breaking event saw the planting of rubber, cacao, coffee, timber and mahogany trees, as well as a range of fruit trees and other species indigenous to the Philippines.”

The report noted: “Initiated by the Mindanao Development Authority (MinDA), the simultaneous tree-planting activity involved volunteers composed of students, government employees, out-of-school youth and several other organizations. It unseated India in the world record category.”
