Porsche Korea has completed and begun operating its third garden, "Yeongheung Eoul-tteul," at Yeongheung Forest Park in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, aimed at preserving urban biodiversity. Mathias Busse, CEO of Porsche Korea, announced that an opening ceremony was held on-site on the 5th, attended by officials from the City of Suwon and two institutional investor representatives [cite: 6, 7]. "Live in Dream-Park" is a corporate social responsibility program designed to enhance the ecological functions of urban parks. Following its implementation in Dongdaemun District, Seoul, the project expanded its target area to Suwon this year.
Spanning approximately 1,400 square meters within Yeongheung Forest Park in Yeongtong District, Suwon, "Yeongheung Eoul-tteul" focuses on restoring freshwater wetland ecosystems that are disappearing due to urban development and improving habitats for wildlife. Wetland topography reflecting the historical water landscapes and ecological characteristics of Suwon was created in damaged areas, transforming them into habitats where diverse species can reside. A total of 70 native plant species were planted to enhance ecological value, including 480 trees of 16 species and 2,284 herbaceous plants of 54 species.
This project was carried out based on active community participation from the planning stage. Habitat spaces were designed based on preliminary surveys by the Suwon Ecological Monitoring Team and the results of a biodiversity survey involving citizens. The name of the garden was also selected through a vote in which 1,341 residents of Suwon participated. Porsche Korea plans to continuously maintain the ecological functions of the garden after its opening through ongoing management by the City of Suwon and care activities by citizen gardeners.
Mathias Busse, CEO of Porsche Korea, emphasized that this project is meaningful because it was developed based on local characteristics and citizen participation. He further expressed his hope that Yeongheung Eoul-tteul would become a sustainable ecological space cultivated together with the local community.
