[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-ho] Uljin-gun, Gyeongbuk announced on the 16th that it saved more than 60 million won in budget through the 'Tree Bank' project, which utilizes trees felled or discarded at various development sites for landscaping and commemorative planting at government offices.

The Uljin-gun Tree Bank project, launched for the first time this year, is an eco-friendly initiative that transplants and manages trees with high biological and landscaping value among the obstructive trees generated during various development projects, and later provides them for necessary public projects.

Currently, about 900 trees including Baerong trees and Mugunghwa trees are being managed in the Tree Bank. Their value is estimated to reach 120 million won. The managed trees will be preferentially provided to create street trees, urban forests, and forests needed for residents' lives in the future.

Park Jae-yong, Director of Forest Healing Division, said, "In addition to utilizing trees arising from construction sites, we plan to accept donations of privately owned trees that are difficult to manage and use them for public interest projects," and asked for the active interest of the residents.
