KSD Establishes School Meditation Forest at Busan Daseon Middle School

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] The Korea Securities Depository announced on the 6th that it has created a school meditation forest within Daseon Middle School located in Saha-gu, Busan, and held a completion ceremony.

The creation of the school meditation forest is a project promoted by the Korea Securities Depository as part of its forest carbon offset project. Since 2018, it has been carried out by receiving recommendations from the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education for schools suitable for meditation forest creation.

The Korea Securities Depository planted trees such as Ipapnamu and Sansuyu, which help absorb carbon and foster students' emotional development, on a 607㎡ site within the school and created walking paths.

Myung-ho Lee, President of the Korea Securities Depository, said, "We hope that this will be used not only to foster the emotions of students who are struggling due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic but also as a place for ecological learning."

The Korea Securities Depository stated, "We plan to continuously expand the creation of school meditation forests to support the forest carbon offset project, which is an important pillar of our social contribution activities."
