Completion Ceremony Held on the 29th

Guro-gu (District Mayor Moon Heon-il) completed the Dorimcheon Climate-Responsive Urban Forest Creation Project and the Ecological Restoration and Greening Project, holding a completion ceremony on the 29th.

First, Guro-gu created an urban forest along the Dorimcheon riverside in the area of 330-69 Sindorim-dong to lead efforts in mitigating the urban heat island effect, absorbing carbon, and reducing fine dust. Approximately 8,000㎡ from Sinjeonggyo Bridge to Georigongwon Intersection was planted with 800 large trees such as Quercus dentata (Daewangchamnamu), Styrax japonicus (Ipapnamu), and Loropetalum chinense (Chiljahwa), about 12,000 shrubs including Hydrangea, Rose, and Salix integra 'Hakuro Nishiki' (Muunibeodeul), and approximately 82,000 herbaceous plants such as Iris, Silver Grass (Eoksae), Sookryeong, and Red Ribbon (Hongtti).

On the embankment slope of Dorimcheon in the area of 325-1 Sindorim-dong, covering 12,000㎡, the ecological restoration and greening project was completed. Invasive species and other foreign plants were removed, and flood-resistant plants were planted. Additionally, irrigation facilities were installed to prevent drought damage. The planted species include about 12,000 shrubs such as Hydrangea and Rose, and approximately 64,000 herbaceous plants including Yellow Iris, Yellow-striped Solomon's Seal, Iris, Silver Grass, and Sookryeong.

The completion ceremony was held at 4 p.m. on the 29th at the basketball court under Dorimgyo Bridge, attended by District Mayor Moon Heon-il, city council members, district council members, and local residents.

District Mayor Moon Heon-il said, "Dorimcheon is like a treasure to the Guro 5-dong and Sindorim-dong areas, where green environments are poor, so ecological restoration and urban forest creation have great significance," and added, "We will continue to do our best to create a beautiful Dorimcheon." He then conducted a commemorative tree planting with the guests.

Meanwhile, Guro-gu is also creating a climate-responsive urban forest in a vacant area within Onsu Neighborhood Park in the mountain area 5-59 Oryu-dong.
