The Korea National Arboretum (KNA) is in Gwangneung forest, between Namyangju-si and Pocheon-si, in Gyeonggi province. Gwangneung was a royal forest, which surrounded the tomb of King Sejo of the Joseon dynasty. Thus, it has been strictly maintained in order to minimize human disturbance over the last five hundred years.
The Arboretum, which initially belonged to the Korea Forest Research Institute, was established in 1987 and has been welcoming the public ever since. On May 24th, 1999, the Korea National Arboretum was formally inaugurated. The KNA houses 15 specialized plant gardens, Forest Museum, Herbarium and Seed Bank and also designated as a UNESCO biosphere reserve in June 2010.
