[Boseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Cheon-seok] Boseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 6th the ‘Boseong-gun Forest Vision 2030,’ which presents the direction for forest development over the next 10 years.

According to Boseong-gun on the 6th, the ‘Boseong-gun Forest Vision 2030’ aims to enhance forest value through innovation in forest management, including diversification of forest resource utilization by combining leisure, tourism, and healing, as well as plans to improve safety and ecological environment.

To diversify forest resource utilization, the plan includes △establishment of mountain-type forest healing and recreation villages (complexes), △creation of multifunctional forest complex tourism complexes, △development of forest leisure sports facilities such as international standard mountain bike trails and paragliding sites, △differentiation strategies for Jaeamsan Natural Recreation Forest and Healing Center (Environmental Disease Prevention and Management Center), and △expansion of health healing forest square facilities.

To drive low-carbon green growth, the plan proposes △establishment of forest energy self-sufficient recreation and village complexes, and to prevent disasters, △maintenance of living area forest fire prevention forests and creation of firebreak forests, △expansion of public safety facilities (erosion control facilities), etc.

To revitalize the forest industry, the plan includes △preparing to attract the construction of the National Forestry Technology Management Center, △scaling up forestry through the creation of high-altitude clean forest product complexes, and supporting the development of health foods to help growth into a high value-added industry. For village-level income projects, △efforts will also be made to create nectar forests (Milwonrim) and income forests.

It is known that this Boseong-gun Forest Vision 2030 was directly led by County Governor Kim Cheol-woo.

Governor Kim Cheol-woo said, “We will lead the future forest industry with forests that provide healing and income,” adding, “To ensure this vision is systematically implemented, we will form project-specific promotion teams and do our best to explain the projects to central government departments and the National Assembly and secure budgets.”

Meanwhile, Boseong-gun has been working on developing income sources using forests and creating urban forests by promoting projects such as creating a 10 million tree urban forest, establishing a lacquer tree cluster complex, the ‘Boseong 600’ project cultivated by our neighborhood, fine dust blocking forests within the Boseong-eup living area, and creating a living healing forest in the Boseong station area.
