A tree-planting event in Carbunari, Romania, brought together 2,512 participants planting simultaneously, setting a new Guinness World Record. The turnout surpassed India’s previous record of 2,055, set in July 2025.
Guinness World Records adjudicator Richard Stenning officially verified the achievement in the village, located in Prahova County’s Poienarii Burchii commune, according to Business Review.
The record was set on Nov. 7 during the Friendship Forest initiative, a reforestation campaign organized by the Act for Tomorrow Association and Kaufland Romania. In addition to the record attempt, the organizers aimed to establish a new forest with 35,000 saplings in Carbunari. Each participant who planted an ash sapling followed the Guinness World Records’ requirements to ensure proper planting and synchronization.

The organizers reported that more than 4,000 people registered within two weeks of the volunteer call. More than 3,200 joined, gaining support from nonprofit organizations, local residents, corporate teams and public institutions. Participants also included students and professors from five universities and pupils and teachers from three forestry high schools.
In addition, the campaign gained assistance from more than 50 companies, which provided resources, products, services and volunteer teams. Their contributions covered land preparation, transportation, tools, equipment and meals.
The initiative further received assistance from Romania’s Ministry of Environment, Waters and Forests and the National Forest Administration – Romsilva, which provided the saplings.
“Today, Romania has a new world record, and a forest is beginning to grow in Carbunari,” said Andrei Cosuleanu, president of the Act for Tomorrow Association.
In its Nov. 9 report, The Romania Journal noted the organizers’ continued commitment to caring for the newly planted forest. Their assistance will continue, supporting the saplings to grow into new trees.
