Imsil-gun Hosts 'Forest Management' Experience Event to Raise Awareness of the Importance of Forests

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Nosik] On the 9th, Jeonbuk Imsil-gun announced that on the 6th, it conducted the '2020 One-Day Forest Management Experience Event' at Seosim Natural Recreation Forest in Jukgye-ri, Samgye-myeon.

Recognizing the serious situation of COVID-19, the event was minimized to about 30 forestry-related workers, including officials from the Forestry Park and employees of the Imsil-gun Forestry Cooperative. Along the forest road, participants fertilized and pruned about 1,000 planted cypress trees, simultaneously carrying out mountain area cleanup activities.

The county designates November every year as 'Forest Management Month' and holds forest management experience events.

Participants directly experience fertilizing and pruning to help the planted trees grow well, providing an opportunity to raise awareness of the necessity of forest management and the importance of forests.

The Forestry Park Department of the county is currently accepting applications for the 2021 forest management project, and any forest owner within the jurisdiction can apply throughout the year.

Sim Min, the mayor of Imsil-gun, said, "It is more important to consistently care for the planted trees than just planting them. We will make greater efforts to protect forests from pests and forest fires and to create healthy forests."
