The project is a public-private partnership to create a forest by planting about 20,000 trees by 2028 to restore the ecosystem in areas of Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do, affected by wildfires.

The volunteer activity was organized in connection with a resource-recycling initiative held in September, to promote the value of reusing resources and give participants hands-on experience of the importance of forest restoration and biodiversity conservation.

Participants repotted seedlings indoors and made seed balls using native plant seeds. They also planted air-purifying plants in pots collected during the September resource-recycling initiative, to be delivered to a local children's center in Andong, Gyeongsangbuk-do. In an outdoor ecological forest, they volunteered to maintain woodland trails and clear fallen leaves. Participants also received instruction on the forest's diverse tree species and biodiversity.

A Shinhan Financial Group official said, "We will continue environmental and social contribution activities that help restore ecosystems in wildfire-affected areas and support local communities."
