Gwangju Seo-gu 'Arbor Day Commemorative Tree Planting Event' Held

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shin Dong-ho] Seo-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, planted 200 camellia trees that maintain greenery throughout the four seasons in the Baekmasan area of Seo-gu to celebrate the 77th Arbor Day.

According to Seo-gu on the 30th, the event was held on the 28th, nine days ahead of Arbor Day on the 5th of next month, reflecting the warm climate of the southern region, with about 50 participants including employees from the Seo-gu Office's Parks and Greenery Division.

Seo-gu plans to promote a fine dust reduction afforestation project this year on an area of 1 hectare in the Baekmasan area to create valuable forest resources in preparation for climate change, which has recently emerged as a serious issue.

A Seo-gu official said, "As the importance and value of forests are increasing due to abnormal weather such as fine dust, heavy rain, and heat waves, we hope that this Arbor Day tree planting event will be an opportunity to cherish and cultivate forests, creating not only economic and public value but also awakening the spirit of tree love through planting and caring for trees."
