The knitted outfits on trees around Gyeongbokgung that tourists stop to photograph

The knitted outfits on the trees along Gyeongbokgung's stone-wall road are so pretty. Sometimes there's even a long line of tourists waiting to take photos.
The trees in Seochon got some cute outfits.
78 trees along the streets of Seochon are wearing knitted outfits.
The pieces were made together by 134 knitters from across the country.
The project was jointly led by Cineco Studio and Dancing Grandma.
People from their 20s to age 84 joined hands across generations.
The alleys near Exit 1 of Gyeongbokgung Station are the setting.
An octopus, a game console, a lost-item flyer…
Whoa, question for the knitting fans: how do you even get these onto the trees? How???? I'm so curious it's driving me crazy.

Oh, I think the Korea Forest Service said not to do this... I read an article saying these knitted tree wraps aren't effective as pest shelters and may actually kill more spiders and other natural predators, so they don't help remove pests... Plus, burning them in spring poses a wildfire risk, so it's better not to use them.

It's cute, but why are they doing it?
