[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] On the morning of the 18th, Yoodonggyun, Mayor of Mapo-gu, attended the '5 Million Tree Planting for Creating Green Forests in Mapo-gu' event held at the second phase of the Gyeongui Line Forest (Jungdong 18-beonji).

The '5 Million Tree Planting' project is a representative greening initiative that Mapo-gu started last July as the first single local government to do so.

With the goal of transforming the entire area into a green city, the project aims to plant 5 million trees to improve residents' quality of life by reducing fine dust and alleviating the urban heat island effect.

At the event for planting 5 million trees to create green forests in Mapo-gu, held from 9:30 a.m., Mayor Yoodonggyun planted a total of 50 trees, including maple trees, together with about 30 residents from Seongsan 2-dong Resident Autonomy Committee and Village Development Committee.

The Seongsan 2-dong Resident Autonomy Committee and Village Development Committee prepared the trees and participated voluntarily, while the district provided support such as stakes, leaf mold, nameplates, necessary planting tools, and watering.

Mayor Yoodonggyun of Mapo-gu said, "Planting trees is planting the future," and added, "Through the 5 million tree planting project, we will maximize the public functions of trees and make this a nationwide exemplary project."
