Suncheon-si, This Year's Companion Tree Forest Creation Project Contest

Establishment of Tree Planting and Management Spaces for Eup, Myeon, Dong, and Civic/Social Organizations

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City (Mayor Heo Seok) is holding a public contest from today until the 20th to select candidates for this year's Companion Tree Forest Creation Project as part of the 10 Million Trees Planting Campaign.

This project aims to create a consensus and boom to spread a citizen movement where citizens directly plant and care for trees in preparation for the upcoming 2023 Suncheonman International Garden Expo.

Suncheon City will support the project costs for establishing the Companion Tree Forest base, and the selected sites will be developed into companion tree forests where citizens and organizations directly purchase, plant, and manage companion trees.

Towns, townships, neighborhoods, citizens, and social organizations wishing to create companion tree forests can apply for the contest project to the Suncheon City Parks and Greenery Division. Five sites will be selected through on-site inspections by the 10 Million Trees Planting Citizen Movement Headquarters, and the project will be launched from March.

The 10 Million Trees Planting Campaign involves planting and nurturing companion trees such as child trees and commemorative trees to actively respond to environmental issues like fine dust and heat waves, fostering a livable forest city and a green Suncheon. In particular, starting with companion tree planting, it is promoted to spread an ecological culture that encourages individuals to think about the environment.

A Suncheon City official stated, "Since the 10 Million Trees Planting Campaign is promoted through public-private cooperation, it is most important to create it together with the citizens." He added, "We ask for much interest and participation in acquiring companion trees."

For more details about the contest, please contact the Suncheon City Parks and Greenery Division.
