Ecological Forests Created at Schools in Suwon City

Beautiful ecological forests have been created at Suwon Elementary School, Suwon Middle School, and Suwon Seo-gwang School in Suwon City.

With support of 100 million won from Suwon City, Suwon Elementary School, which created the first school forest this year, has been developed with walking paths made of zelkova, pine, fruit trees, and azaleas, as well as an ecological pond with a functioning waterwheel.

Suwon Middle School has maple tree forests and crepe myrtle forests created in front of the schoolyard, and Suwon Seo-gwang School, a special education school, has been planted with diverse trees representative of taste, aroma, and touch—including cherry, persimmon, plum, magnolia, Chinese parasol tree, and winged spindle—to support emotional development of students with disabilities.

The city plans to create school forests suited to the characteristics of each school at a total of 21 elementary, middle, and high schools by the end of this year.
