Mural photo of the Great North Forest on Platform 2. The GNF was the first community forest in the country when it was launched in 1990, with the aims of improving recreational opportunities, health and quality of life for a million people living within six miles of its boundaries, while also greening areas to attract inward investment and companies. In 2004, it merged with the Tees Community Forest to form the North East Community Forest (NECF). It planted six million trees in the North East, south of the Tyne, but went into administration in 2008 when government and local authority funding dried up http://www.thejournal.co.uk/news/north-east-news/forest-goes-bust-norths-grants-4492064
