MANNAM) National Tree Planting day in Korea

Today, April. 5th is National Tree Planting day in Korea.

To celebrate this, Korea Forest Service has distributed seedlings to people throughout the nation.

Here is an article related it.

Nambu Forest Service said a lot of citizens took part in the event of "Have my own tree" co-hosted with Andong-si and were given trees free at the parking lot of the riverside of the Nakdong river before Andong Youth Center at 10 am on Tuesday, May 2.

Thru this event, about 48000 trees including pine trees, apricot trees, hovenia trees, walnut trees were distributed in 5 trees per person on a first-come first-served basis. In addition, the signature campaign for the fire prevention was also taken place in consideration that spring is the most fire-prone season.

Nambu Forest Service Director Kim Pan-suk said, "We promoted this event in the hope that the local people think the importance of the trees and forest by planing and taking care of trees themselves. It would be good to plant a tree with family even in a busy life."

What an awesome campaign!!

It could be so nice to have my own tree through this.

Similarly, MANNAM Volunteers always want to do something for world as well.

So, why don't we get some seedlings and plant them nearby our places?

I think the earth would say "thank you!" to us. :)
