About 440 people, including local residents, neighborhood organizations, and public officials, participated in the event, planting 7,000 trees and shrubs such as Bokjagi trees and Cornus kousa, as well as approximately 2,000 herbaceous plants like Hydrangea, working together to create a lush resting place in the urban area.
Additionally, trees were planted in a relay across four green spaces: ▲ Anyangcheon, ▲ Singil Neighborhood Park, ▲ Singil 9 District Neighborhood Park, and ▲ Daerim-dong Greenbelt, expanding green spaces within the community. A special 'My Tree Ownership' event was held to commemorate residents' special days, gifting them precious memories.

He added, "I thank everyone who participated in today's tree planting event and hope that the trees we planted together with our wishes will grow vigorously and become healing spaces within the city."
