Yeongyang-gun Holds the 78th Arbor Day Commemorative 'Tree Distribution Event'

Yeongyang-gun, Gyeongbuk Province, held a 'Tree Distribution Event' on the 29th from 9 a.m. at the main venue on the lawn plaza of the county office and at five township offices including Ipam-myeon to commemorate the 78th Arbor Day.

For this tree distribution event, Yeongyang-gun prepared a total of 4,890 seedlings of three species including Moksuguk, conducted a wildfire prevention awareness campaign to raise vigilance against forest fires, and the Yeongyang-gun Forestry Cooperative sponsored tea and beverages.

The species distributed at this event were Moksuguk, Miss Kim Lilac, and Ipapnamu, with up to three seedlings per person given on a first-come, first-served basis for each species.

Notably, this year marks the 50th anniversary of national reforestation, making the tree distribution event more meaningful as it encourages people to own, plant, and nurture their own trees, thereby contributing to addressing environmental issues such as climate change crisis response and carbon reduction.

County Governor O Do-chang stated, “Through this tree distribution event, I hope everyone will plant and nurture their own trees to once again appreciate the value of trees, and furthermore, carefully cultivate the trees to create a fragrant and beautiful landscape in Yeongyang-gun.”
