The target was 7 elementary schools in 5 counties in western Gyeongnam where school forests were created. The green space area varied from 1,289 m at school E to 4,751 m at school F, with an average22of 3,081 m . There were 45 species (39.5%) of evergreen trees and 69 species (60.5%) of deciduous trees, 72 species (63.2%) of trees2and 42 species (36.8%) of shrubs, and the number of trees and shrubs was 978 (17.2%) and 4,696 (82.8%), respectively. The most commonly planted species in school forests was Rhododendron indicum, followed by R. yedoense and Buxus sinica. The average diversity and evenness were 2.23 and 0.62, respectively, and the similarity index between schools showed a value of around 0.5. It was found that the concordance rate of plants mentioned in textbooks among the tree species planted in school forests was 33.8%.
