The county planted about 600 trees, including azaleas, crape myrtles, and red oak trees, along the Hwangryong River area.

In particular, the azaleas were over 50 years old and taller than 4 meters. They are known to be very rare nationwide.

Governor Kim Han-jong said, “To prevent global warming, we need to plant many trees to reduce net carbon emissions,” adding, “I hope this tree planting event will remain a meaningful effort for future generations.”
