Daegu Dong-gu Office planted 433 bald cypress trees and 6,700 trees of four species including Nandina domestica here, maintaining and managing a natural conical shape through the planting of bald cypress trees along both sides of the main sections, including green areas, and formed a green tunnel with six rows of street trees, creating a calm and neat atmosphere in the residential complex differentiated from the surrounding woody street trees (such as Chinese fringe trees and cherry trees).

In particular, it was recognized for contributing to improving the quality of life for citizens by increasing the green area ratio through connecting various types of green spaces around the street tree road adjacent to the forest, serving as a wind path and ecological corridor linking the forest and the urban area, and introducing understory vegetation to provide a comfortable and beautiful landscape.

Yoon Seok-jun, head of Daegu Dong-gu Office, said, “We will continue to strive to create a pleasant green city where people and nature harmonize through the management of street trees, and do our best to expand green spaces in the urban area and make Dong-gu beautiful.”
