Chungbuk, Goesan Jilmajae Restoration Continues to Restore the 'Baekdudaegan Ridge Line'

[Asia Economy (Chungbuk) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Chungbuk Province is promoting the restoration of the Goesan Jilmajae ecological corridor.

The province announced on the 29th that following the restoration of Jeungpyeong Bunjeotchi as part of the Baekdudaegan ridge restoration project, it will continuously promote the restoration of the Goesan Jilmajae ecological corridor.

The Baekdudaegan ecological corridor restoration project focuses on connecting and restoring the interrupted ridgelines (ecological corridors) with the symbolic purpose of restoring the national spirit and maintaining and recovering the health and continuity of the forest ecosystem.

Through this project, the province completed the restoration of Goesan Ihwaryeong in 2012 and Boeun Malti-jae in 2017, and is currently in its third year of the Jeungpyeong Bunjeotchi restoration project. This year, along with completing the Bunjeotchi restoration project, it plans to simultaneously promote the restoration of Goesan Jilmajae.

Currently, the province is conducting basic and detailed design services for the restoration of Jilmajae.

The restoration of the Goesan Jilmajae ecological corridor is the third restoration project of the Hannam-Geumbuk Jeongmaek within the province, connecting 'Boeun Malti-jae ~ Jeungpyeong Bunjeotchi ~ Goesan Jilmajae.' The project is scheduled to be constructed over two years starting next year and completed in 2022. The total project cost for the restoration is 5.8 billion KRW.

The main project contents include the construction of ecological tunnels to connect the interrupted ridgelines, forest vegetation restoration using native plants, windbreaks to protect trees, and installation of wildlife habitats and movement corridors.

Ji Yong-gwan, head of the Forest and Greenery Division of the province, said, “The Baekdudaegan ridgeline (ecological corridor) restoration project is being promoted to restore the national spirit and secure the health and continuity of the forest ecosystem,” adding, “Based on this project, the province will continuously carry on the restoration of the Baekdudaegan ecological corridor, including Goesan Moraejae and Yeongdong Gwaebangryeong.”
