[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-sun] Pulmuone announced on the 22nd that on the 21st, it planted trees to create the "Pulmuone Peace Forest" (hereafter Pulmuone Forest) in cooperation with Peace Forest, the Northern Regional Forest Service, and the Inter-Korean Forest Cooperation Center in the border area at San 23, Daedong-ri, Tanhyeon-myeon, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do, about 3 km away from North Korea.

The event was attended by key officials including Kim Jae-hyun, CEO of Peace Forest; Choi Soo-chun, head of the Northern Regional Forest Service; Kang Ki-rae, director of the Seoul National Forest Management Office; Lee Sang-bu, head of Pulmuone Strategic Management Institute; as well as Pulmuone executives and employees.

Pulmuone planted 1,000 trees including Korean fir, a native tree species of the Korean Peninsula disappearing due to recent climate change, oak trees, willows commonly found in South Korea, and fir trees and azaleas distributed in North Korea, within the approximately 7,920 square meters (about 2,400 pyeong) Pulmuone Forest established inside the Peace Forest.

This Pulmuone Forest creation project was carried out using donations raised through the 2020 "Walking Challenge" volunteer activity, part of Pulmuone employees' "Lohas Together" social contribution efforts for sustainable coexistence between people and nature.

To nurture and protect the trees planted on this day, the Seoul National Forest Management Office plans to manage the project site through activities such as weeding, and Peace Forest plans to conduct citizen-participatory forest care programs.

Meanwhile, Peace Forest is a civic organization engaged in global peace movements through forest creation, striving for the Peace Forest Initiative (PFI), inter-Korean forest cooperation projects, and restoration of ecosystems in border areas.
