[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Gilsu] Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 17th that it will fully launch its afforestation project starting this month.

The county will plant 48,000 Mokbaekhap (Lilium formosanum) and Cornus officinalis this year to create nectar forests for beekeeping farms.

Along with this, Jangseong-gun will afforest 106 hectares with 'economic trees' composed of Japanese cypress, catalpa, and sawtooth oak.

This includes bio-circulation afforestation supplying biomass raw materials such as wood pellets and pulp materials, as well as timber production afforestation aimed at continuously producing and supplying high-quality timber.

Furthermore, the county plans to create a 20-hectare fine dust reduction forest (at Jangseongho Lake, Ansan Dullegil, etc.) and implement forest disaster prevention afforestation projects to provide residents with clean air and a green environment while preventing various disasters such as forest fires in advance.

Yoo Doo-seok, the mayor of Jangseong-gun, said, “Through the afforestation project, we can pass on environmental and economic values to future generations while also suppressing disaster occurrences. We will carefully nurture every single tree with the mindset of looking toward the distant future.”
