Heartwood Forest is a planned forest (woodland creation site) in Hertfordshire, England. The plans were set out in 2008〔''(Huge woodland named 'Heartwood Forest' )'', St. Albans and Harpenden Review – Retrieved 3 May 2010〕 by the Woodland Trust to create the largest new forest of native tree species of approximately 347+ ha (850 acres) in size, and is expected to take around 12 years. The site, near Sandridge, St Albans in the Metropolitan Green Belt, was formerly agricultural land, but also currently contains around 18 ha (45 acres) of remaining ancient woodland, which will be integrated into the new woodland. On December 9, 2009, a Guinness World Record attempt was made for the 'BBC ''Tree O'clock'' ' scheme, in association with the Woodland Trust to plant the most new trees as possible in one hour, with three woodland sites making the attempt, the Heartwood Forest, Hainault Forest and Gransha Park. The previous record being 18,124〔''(Tree-planting world record attempts )'', BBC Breathing Places – Retrieved 28 May 2010〕 which was held by the Forestry Commission at a site in Scotland.〔''(Over 20,000 trees planted in 60 minutes… )'', Woodland Trust News – Heartwood Forest – Retrieved 28 May 2010〕 The Heartwood Forest site managed to come second, with 20,326, being beaten by Gransha Park where they planted over 26,000 trees in the hour.〔〔 ==References== * (About the Heartwood Forest – The Woodland Trust ) * (Woodland Trust Heartwood Forest Plans ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heartwood Forest」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
