Online Forest Play, Early Childhood Forest Experience, Forest Interpretation, Healing Forest Programs... Enjoy Forest Experiences Remotely... Nature Healing Offered to Residents Weary from COVID-19
[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gwanak-gu (Mayor Park Jun-hee) is operating a 'non-face-to-face forest experience program' at six infant forest experience centers including Nakseongdae, Seonwoo Park, and Cheongryongsan.
This is intended to provide a small ventilation window and healing in nature for residents who are physically and mentally exhausted due to social distancing measures to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).
The 'non-face-to-face forest experience' is a customized COVID-19 prevention program unique to Gwanak-gu, designed so that anyone can experience the forest on their own without guidance.
Additionally, the district produced and distributed a video titled 'Online Infant Forest Experience Home Forest Play,' allowing infants who find it difficult to go out due to COVID-19 to experience forest play at home, the first of its kind among Seoul's districts.
By watching and following along with forest play, forest exercises, and forest cooking that can be done at home, indirect forest experiences are possible. The videos can be viewed on Gwanak-gu Park Usage Program's dedicated SNS (Naver Cafe 'Namu Nolbo') or YouTube.
Not only infants but also family-participation experience programs and forest healing programs for adults exhausted by COVID-19 are operated on a small scale, making these places healing spaces where visitors of all ages can soothe their tired minds.
Along with this, the district has established and operates the largest number of six experience centers among Seoul's local governments (▲Cheongryongsan ▲Nakseongdae ▲Seonwoo Park ▲Samseong-dong ▲Daehak-dong ▲Danggok), most of which are located on mid-mountain slopes, allowing visitors to fully enjoy natural elements such as phytoncides, negative ions, sunlight, and wind, and are easily accessible from the road, making it convenient to visit with children.
