Pupils from St Mary’s RC School, in South Moor, and the paper trees they have created A County Durham school has been created hundreds of paper treeas as part of a world record challenge to raise awareness of climate change. Durham County Council’s international relations team has been working with St Mary’s RC School, in South Moor, near Stanley, in the bid. The attempt is being made by an Austrian school, which asked counterparts across the globe to send in their creations to create the world’s longest chain of paper trees. Gratkorn elementary school, in Styria, will be using the record attempt as an opportunity to create a “climate-friendly world record forest” where one real tree will be planted for every 50 paper trees they receive.
