LG Evergreen Foundation was established in December 1997 with the belief that “true life can only flourish amidst harmony between nature and humanity.”
It was the first private-sector environmental foundation established by one of Korea’s top ten conglomerates for the purpose of promoting environmental protection and efficient use of natural resources. Over the years, LG Evergreen Foundation has brought new momentum in environmental protection in Korea through consistent and progressive long-term initiatives.
LG Evergreen Foundation’s continuous and crucial environmental protection activities include the establishment of Hwadam Botanic Garden, an arboretum preserving the nation’s terrain and vegetation, the publication of the first illustrated book of birds in Korea titled A Field Guide to the Birds of Korea, and the comprehensive guide to freshwater fish species observed on the Korean Peninsula A Field Guide to the Freshwater Fishes of Korea, and the propagation of the national flower, Mugunghwa (rose of Sharon).
