In this competition, more than 500 people including about 300 executives from 17 metropolitan cities and provinces nationwide and 200 association officials will experience the essence of Changnyeong, such as Bugok Hot Springs with the highest water temperature of 78℃ in the country, the mysterious 'Upo Wetland' that has preserved its secrets for 140 million years, and the 'Ttawogi' (Crested Ibis) successfully restored after 40 years, along with a forum to revitalize the landscape tree industry.

The forum, hosted by the Gyeongnam Central Branch of the Korea Landscape Tree Association, will feature a vision declaration for revitalizing the landscape tree industry and a special lecture by Professor Yoon Cheol-ho on the theme of 'Health Secrets and Forest Therapy (Healing Forest)'.

Additionally, presentations on landscape tree container production cases by Lee Jae-chun, CEO of Miso Landscape, and landscape tree cultivation operation cases by Noh Jong-sik, CEO of Heungsan Landscape, will be held. Around the venue, landscape materials, equipment for tree excavation, and photos of Mugunghwa (Rose of Sharon) will be exhibited, allowing attendees to experience new technologies and the latest equipment in the landscaping industry.

On the 18th, special lectures will continue with Park Jeong-gi, CEO of Gomsong Landscape, on 'The Value of Old Landscape Trees and Special Tree Transplantation Techniques,' and Kwon Young-hyu, former professor at the National Fisheries University, on 'Landscape Tree Container Replanting Techniques.' Participants will also tour Yeongsan Mannyeon Bridge Garden, Upo Wetland Life Trail, and the Ttawogi Restoration Center, followed by discussions.

It is known that the nationwide large-scale competition supported by national and provincial funds is held in Changnyeong thanks to the key role played by Vice Chairman Yoon, the competition promotion chairman. Vice Chairman Yoon, a former principal of Changnyeong Super Tech High School, is a role model as an educator through his volunteer activities and nurturing of future generations in the region.

Also, it is expected that the election of the next president of the Korea Landscape Tree Association will be held during this competition period.
