Hyundai Motor Creates Forests in Hongcheon and Gunsan

Hyundai Motor Company employees, the National Natural Recreation Forest Management Office, Triple Planet employees, and local elementary school students are planting trees on the 20th at Mongdol Beach near Gunsan National Sinsido Natural Recreation Forest in Jeonbuk.

[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Dae-yeol] Hyundai Motor Company announced on the 21st that it will create an eco-friendly forest covering 16,000㎡ in Hongcheon, Gangwon Province, in the fourth quarter of this year in collaboration with the social venture company Triple Planet.

At the National Sinshido Natural Recreation Forest in Gunsan, Jeonbuk, an additional 300㎡ native garden will be added by the end of this month. This site previously had a forest covering 20,000㎡ established last year. Hyundai Motor has named this forest creation project "Ioniq Forest" and is expanding it across the country.

The Hongcheon forest will consist of groves of Korean nut pines, black locust trees, and ash trees. Near the Gunsan recreation forest, at Mongdol Beach, a native garden composed of camellia and hydrangea will be added. Once the forest is established, a total of 36,000㎡ area will have 12,000 trees planted. The company expects that the annual carbon dioxide absorption will reach 85 tons and fine dust absorption will be 250 kg.

Meanwhile, the eco-friendly forest interpretation program, which was previously offered only to visitors with disabilities and the elderly at Sinshido Natural Recreation Forest, will be expanded to all visitors. The program involves exploring the dedicated circulation path within the recreation forest by riding the electric vehicle Ioniq 5.
