Jangseong-gun Launches Forest Management Project with 3.9 Billion Won Investment

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Gil-su] Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 20th that it is actively promoting the ‘2020 Forest Management Project,’ investing 3.9 billion KRW in a total of 2,500 hectares (ha) of forest.

This project is divided into the ‘Policy Forest Management Project’ and the ‘Public Interest Forest Management Project for Fine Dust Reduction.’

First, the policy forest management includes ▲‘Large Tree Management’ conducted on private forest land ▲‘Young Tree Management,’ which involves pruning artificial plantations and tidying up within the forest, as well as mowing grass around plantations, removing vines, and eliminating kudzu vines along major roads.

Additionally, Jangseong-gun plans to carry out thinning and pruning along popular hiking trails such as Jebongsan Mountain and the deck path on the right bank of Jangseongho Lake through the public interest forest management project. This aims to provide clean air free from fine dust concerns to residents by properly managing forests adjacent to residential areas.

Yoo Doo-seok, the mayor of Jangseong-gun, stated, “One of the long-term solutions to the fine dust problem is the forest management project,” adding, “We will enhance the public value of forests while reducing fine dust.”
