FERRYHILL Station Primary School has won £300 and is a Gold Oak winner in the Sedgefield Borough Yellow Woods Challenge.
The initiative is run by Yellow Pages, the Directory Recycling Scheme and the Woodland Trust.
Working with Sedgefield Borough Council and Butterwick Hospice at Bishop Auckland, 16 schools took part in the scheme which encouraged schoolchildren to collect old Yellow Pages.
Local schools collected almost 4,100 old directories which have been taken by volunteers from Butterwick Hospice to Foreman Recycling in Spennymoor.
Ferryhill Station Primary School collected almost 14 old directories per pupil.
Aycliffe Village Primary School was second, receiving £200 and a Silver Birch certificate, while third place went to Dean Road Nursery School, Ferryhill, which received £100 and a Bronze Beech certificate.
Yellow Pages will dedicate a tree in a Woodland Trust wood to Ferryhill Station Primary School.
In addition, Stephenson Way Primary School in Newton Aycliffe will receive £100 from Sedgefield Borough Council for coming a very close fourth in the recycling competition.
