Answer the Call: Become a Green Monster Buster and Restore Gyeongpo’s Fire-Ravaged Forest

Join us in the fight to restore a wildfire-damaged forest in Gyeongpo, Gangneung, Korea!

In the wake of a devastating wildfire, new trees and plants were carefully planted to revitalize the land and prevent further damage like landslides. However, these young plants are now facing a new threat: invasive species.
