Guro-gu 'Namu Dolbomi' Year-Round Recruitment

Village squares, rest areas, street trees, and small plots... Management of 185 green spaces across 81 routes in the district... Open to residents, groups, and students... Cleaning and safety supplies provided, volunteer hours recognized

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Guro-gu (Mayor Lee Seong) is implementing the ‘Tree Caretaker’ project, where residents directly take care of street trees and green belts.

Guro-gu recently announced, “We are continuously recruiting participants for the ‘Tree Caretaker’ project to enhance community spirit by having residents directly maintain public facilities and to establish a sustainable green management system.”

The ‘Tree Caretaker’ project allows individuals or groups to adopt a certain section of street trees and green belts in the area as ‘their own tree’ and manage that section directly.

The target areas include village yards, rest areas, street trees, green belts, and small leftover lands. The management targets include 11,569 trees of 26 species such as Zelkova and Ginkgo along 81 routes in the area, and 185 green spaces totaling 296,272㎡.

Anyone who can properly care for trees, including residents, organizations, and schools, can participate.

Selected residents as tree caretakers will engage in activities for one year after signing an agreement, including planting flowers and trees along streets, watering, removing trash and weeds around street trees, repairing damaged facilities, and reporting issues.

Participants will be provided with cleaning and safety supplies and will also receive volunteer hours credit.

A Guro-gu official stated, “We hope many residents will participate in this project to create a green city, Guro.”
