Buan-gun Creates 'Meditation Forests' at Three Local Schools...

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Gominhyung] Buan County announced on the 23rd that it has created meditation forests at three schools in the area: Baeksan Elementary School, Udeok Elementary School, and Buan Girls' High School.

The meditation forests were established after conducting a demand survey last November targeting elementary, middle, and high schools in the region, selecting three schools, and utilizing leftover spaces around school playgrounds and fence boundary areas to create the forests.

In particular, various plants were planted to naturally create a forest atmosphere within the school spaces.

Additionally, reflecting the opinions of students, faculty, and local residents, an inline track was installed at Baeksan Elementary School, fence boundary landscape improvements were made at Udeok Elementary School, and outdoor tables were installed at Buan Girls' High School.

The meditation forest project began in 2010 with Buan Elementary School, selecting one school each year to carry out the project, and has expanded to three schools since last year.

A county official stated, “We will gradually increase the budget to ensure that five schools benefit each year,” and added, “Next year's meditation forest project plans to accept applications from schools in the area in November and select the schools accordingly.”
