[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Street trees along the road from Gwanggyo Central Road intersection in Yeongtong-gu, Suwon City to Convention Center intersection have put on their winter clothing.
On the 17th, Suwon City and the Suwon Street Tree Gardener Volunteer Group dressed 50 street trees in warm winter outfits on the road around Suwon Convention Center, with about 30 participants including members of the volunteer group and Green Trust members. The winter clothing was designed by the street tree gardener volunteer group and decorated with flowers and trees made from yarn.
The street tree gardener volunteer group has been dressing street trees in winter clothing every year since 2016. Dressing street trees in winter clothing protects the trees from the cold and prevents the occurrence of various tree diseases and pests.
On this day, the street tree gardener volunteer group also conducted a street tree protection campaign while holding hand signs with messages such as "Street trees are vital water" and "Street trees, partners in climate regulation."
Meanwhile, the "Suwon Street Tree Gardener Volunteer Group," which was launched in 2015, continues to carry out volunteer activities and campaigns to maintain and care for street trees. To become a street tree gardener, one must complete the "Street Tree Gardener School" co-hosted by Suwon City's Parks and Greenery Project Office and Green Trust.
Heo Ui-haeng, director of Suwon City's Parks and Greenery Project Office, said, "When we dress street trees in winter clothing, the trees are protected and it becomes a good sight for citizens," and "We will promote a culture of cherishing and caring for street trees, which are precious assets of Suwon City."
