The Eco-friendly Design Awards are selected annually to recognize excellence in eco-friendly space and architectural design within the province, aiming to realize eco-friendly designs that harmonize nature, culture, and people.
Haenam-gun has been honored with awards for four consecutive years, following the Gosan Yunsando Relics Exhibition Hall in 2017, Ttangkkeut Hwangto Country Theme Village in 2018, and Dalma Trail in 2019.
Located in Gyegok-myeon, Haenam-gun, the "Heukseoksan Healing Forest" features many oak species with a high fine dust absorption rate, preserving clear air, clean forests, and valleys. It operates a natural recreation forest with 17 forest houses, a rest center, and a forest campground built to minimize forest damage.
In particular, the natural recreation forest's officially registered Forest Kindergarten by the Korea Forest Service is scattered with various oak species such as Mongolian oak and sawtooth oak, and enjoys great popularity due to diverse plant observation programs and seasonal outdoor experiential programs.
In this evaluation, the development of distinctive forest healing programs and the creation of a forest healing garden that preserves the original form of the forest while enhancing its inherent beauty were highly praised for evolving the space into one of healing and learning.
