Boseong-gun Promotes Forestry Job Projects to Revitalize Economy

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Yongcheol] Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do, will select 60 forestry workers starting from the 17th to promote the forest cultivation project.

According to Boseong-gun on the 13th, the selected forestry workers will be deployed in public forest cultivation, roadside tree management teams, and forest cultivation patrol sectors, leading efforts to maintain trees, remove kudzu vines, plant roadside trees, and take charge of cultivating the beautiful Boseong forests. They will also carry out various tasks across the forestry field, including the national land park project in preparation for large-scale events.

In particular, Boseong-gun has created a virtuous cycle structure where forest byproducts generated from forest cultivation are not discarded but made into sawdust and supplied to livestock farms, and firewood is provided to vulnerable groups for winter heating, thus creating a win-win situation between forestry projects and the local community.

To prevent COVID-19, Boseong-gun replaced intensive training on duties, safety, and technology with distributed education, and also dispersed the workplaces into four locations. Safety gear and work equipment were provided individually.

A county official said, “Workers must wear masks, and hand sanitizers will be placed on-site to continuously disinfect during work to thoroughly manage worker safety.”

Meanwhile, the forestry job project is being carried out with an annual investment of 1,133 million won to create social jobs and ensure stable forestry project promotion.
