Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) supports residents who wish to plant trees in their living areas such as houses, schools, and senior centers.

Tree planting has various benefits, including reducing carbon dioxide. The district has prepared this project to practice carbon neutrality in response to the climate crisis and to provide opportunities to create pleasant living spaces.

Recipients will be provided with shade trees, shrubs, and leaf mold. The shade trees include five species such as persimmon, Cornus, and Cheongdan maple, while the shrubs include eight species such as tree hydrangea, climbing rose, evergreen shrub, and forsythia. If idle land that meets planting standards is secured, applicants can request their preferred species.

The support targets are detached houses, multi-family housing (excluding apartments), daycare centers, and senior welfare facilities. The minimum application area is 0.25㎡; rooftop greening is not allowed, but small-scale pot planting is permitted.

Applications are accepted by visit or email until the 14th of next month. After receiving the application, an on-site survey will be conducted, and results will be announced in March. For more details, please contact the Gwangjin-gu Parks and Greenery Division.

Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “Tree planting has positive effects such as environmental protection and improving urban aesthetics,” and added, “We will strive to revitalize urban greening so that abundant green spaces can be established in the city.”

Last year, 1,800 trees were supported for 80 locations, contributing to the spread of garden culture in living areas.
