[Asia Economy (Hongseong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Chungnam Province announced on the 27th that from next year until 2025, it will create 'Safe Green Forests for Children' in 10 children's protection zones near local elementary schools.


This project focuses on separating sidewalks and roadways in children's protection zones and planting trees in the separated spaces to create forests.


The province plans to invest 400 million KRW next year to establish green forests at elementary schools in the Cheonan and Seosan areas.



Lee Sang-chun, Director of the Provincial Forest Resources Division, said, "The creation of Safe Green Forests for Children is expected to ensure children's traffic safety as a basic goal, while also contributing to reducing fine dust and alleviating the heat island effect."
