[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Young-gyun] Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Gu Chung-gon) will invest 5.5 billion won this year to undertake a large-scale forest management project.

According to the county on the 27th, from next month until December, a forest management project will be carried out to produce high-quality timber and create ecologically healthy forests.

A total of 3,640 hectares of artificial plantations and natural forests are targeted for the project, including plantation management (2,640 hectares), young tree care (600 hectares), and large tree care (400 hectares).

The county operates a forest biomass product collection team of 36 members to create forest jobs and promote resource utilization. The collection team removes weeds and vines along major roads.

Additionally, six forest management patrol members will be operated continuously to respond promptly to various forest damage complaints.

Before the full-scale project begins, education will be conducted to prevent COVID-19 and prepare for safety accidents.

A county official said, “Through forest management, we will create healthy forests and provide more diverse forest welfare services to residents and visitors.”
