Suncheon City, Companion Tree Distribution... Part of the 10 Million Tree Planting Project

Trees Planted in Simin Forest and Dongcheon Greenway Distributed as Companion Trees

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City (Mayor Heo Seok) is recruiting applicants for the ‘10 Million Trees Planting Companion Tree Adoption’ program until the 30th as part of the 10 Million Trees Planting project.

This companion tree adoption offers citizens the opportunity to experience green recreation during the COVID-19 era by adopting 500 trees of 15 species, including Ipap trees and Hinoki cypress, planted in two citizen forests (Jogok-dong, Yeonhyang-dong) and the Dongcheon Greenway in Pungdeok-dong as companion trees.

Applications for companion tree adoption can be submitted via email, in person, by mail, or through the 10 Million Trees Planting website. Trees will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis by location and species. Detailed information can be found on the Suncheon City or 10 Million Trees Planting websites.

To enable citizens who adopt companion trees to manage them directly, experts will be invited to provide education on companion tree care methods such as weeding, fertilizing, and pruning at least twice a year.

Suncheon City is cultivating the entire city as a garden in preparation for the ‘2023 Suncheonman International Garden Expo.’

A Suncheon City official stated, “We hope all 280,000 citizens will participate in the 10 Million Trees Planting campaign by planting and nurturing companion trees one by one.”

Meanwhile, to promote the 10 Million Trees Planting initiative, Suncheon City has created a website where citizens can register the companion trees they have planted and managed, establishing a database and posting related materials about the 10 Million Trees Planting project.
