A Premium Forest with 'Bokcheunglim + Walking Trail' to Open in Jinwol-dong, Nam-gu, Gwangju

5 Billion KRW Investment... Construction from Next Month to November

Establishment of 'Rain Garden' Connecting Valleys in the Gorge

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] A healing forest with a multi-layered forest and walking trails will be created at the foot of Jeseoksan Mountain in Jinwol-dong, Nam-gu, Gwangju.

Nam-gu announced on the 30th that it will actively promote the Jinwol Urban Forest Creation Project, which combines a multi-layered forest, walking trails, and resting spaces by utilizing a neglected vacant lot between the back hill of Daeju Apartment in Jinwol-dong and Jeseoksan Mountain.

This project, with an investment of 500 million won, is scheduled to start next month with demolition work to remove concrete pavement and underbrush, and will continue until November.

The construction section is approximately 240 meters, from the point where the first complex of Daeju Apartment and Brownstone complex meet, up to the upper part of the hill at the entrance of the second complex of Daeju Apartment.

Here, a healing forest in the form of a multi-layered forest with trees and flowers of varying heights will be created.

In particular, along the walking trail, 125 shade-providing trees of five species, including Zelkova and Ippopanamu (Styrax japonicus), will be planted, and nearby where the trees are planted, 3,858 shrubs of 18 species including hydrangea will be planted.

Additionally, 12,710 low-height herbaceous plants of 23 species, such as daffodils, will be planted close to the ground along the walking trail to complete the healing forest in a multi-layered forest form.

Along with this, two naturally formed valleys from the ridge to the foot of Jeseoksan Mountain will be connected to create a rain garden where water flows during rainfall.

Various herbaceous plants will also be planted around the rain garden to provide a splendid visual attraction.

Furthermore, on the site where concrete was removed, a walking trail covered with loess soil will be constructed, and convenience facilities such as wooden swing benches and sitting walls will be enhanced.

A Nam-gu official said, “Once the Jinwol Urban Forest Creation Project is completed, this place will be reborn as a premium forest with both forest and rest.”
