Nakimangu Social Cooperative and Life Forest Corporation Collaborate on Resident Tree Donation Project
Agreement Aims to Improve and Revitalize the Ecological Environment of Mangu History and Culture Park

Jungnang-gu (District Mayor Ryu Kyung-gi) signed a business agreement on the 5th with Nak-i Mang-u Social Cooperative and the Korea Forest for Life Association to carry out the ‘My Tree Planting Project’ at Mang-u Historical and Cultural Park.

The ‘My Tree Planting Project’ is a program where residents directly plant and manage trees donated by the community in Mang-u Historical and Cultural Park, where notable figures are laid to rest.

Through this agreement, the three organizations aim to encourage local residents' participation in donations to improve the ecological environment of Mang-u Historical and Cultural Park and revitalize the park.

The roles of each organization under the agreement are as follows.

▲ Jungnang-gu Office is responsible for identifying planting sites and tree species, reviewing donations, and supporting tree planting events; ▲ Nak-i Mang-u Social Cooperative will handle project planning, promotion and guidance, and organizing tree planting events; ▲ Korea Forest for Life Association will manage fundraising and operate the tree donation website.

Starting with this agreement, donor recruitment, donation receipt, and review processes will be conducted, with a tree planting commemorative ceremony scheduled for April 2025.

The district aims to realize the value of citizen participation and sharing through this agreement and establish an important turning point for the local community to protect the environment and sustain the ecosystem.

Ryu Kyung-gi, Mayor of Jungnang-gu, stated, “Mang-u Historical and Cultural Park is developing beyond a local attraction in Jungnang into a nationally recognized site, holding significant meaning as a repository of modern and contemporary history.” He added, “We ask for much interest and participation so that this tree planting project can play a major role in improving the park’s ecological environment.”
