The county plans to continue activities such as weeding and caring for the young trees after planting so that the trees planted during this Arbor Day event can grow into a beautiful cypress forest providing clean air to the residents in the future.

Governor Kang Jong-man said, "Planting trees is planting the future," and added, "Taking care of the trees is as important as planting them. I ask for special attention and cooperation in preventing forest fires to protect the carefully nurtured forests from fire damage."
