Vitalizing Forest Cultivation Project
by Woori Finance of Woori Financial Group
Woori Financial Group established the "Woori Finance Life Forest No. 2" at Urwool Elementary School in Gyeonggi-do Province, near the Ansung Training Institute of Woori Bank in 2020, to promote shared prosperity with the local community through environment improvement. This followed the establishment of "Woori Finance Life Forest No. 1" at Inheung Elementary School, which suffered from the forest fire in Goseong, Gangwon-do. During the cultivation period of 5 months commencing in July 2020, we planted 34 forest trees, 1,776 bushes, and 4,853 herbaceous flowers which have the benefits of reducing fine dust and urban heat, as well as native species in the area of approximately 4,400㎡. Forest No. 2 has become a pleasant educational environment for children and a new recreational space for local residents to enjoy.
