[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-su] Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 18th that it held the 2021 Public Forest Management Kick-off Ceremony in the large conference room of the county office on the 17th and will begin full-scale public forest management.

The public forest management project is a program that creates jobs by involving vulnerable groups and middle-aged people in forest projects, and increases the utilization of forest resources by expanding the collection of forest products.

At the kick-off ceremony, 21 members of the public forest management project team and related officials including Lee Seung-ok, the mayor of Gangjin-gun, attended and pledged to successfully promote the forest management project and establish a zero-accident forest worksite.

In addition, job training was conducted internally on the operation of forest equipment such as chainsaws and brush cutters for forest accident prevention, forest management work methods, and first aid procedures.

Gangjin-gun plans to create a more pleasant forest landscape by mowing grass and removing vines in forests around residential areas through the operation of the project team.

In particular, forest byproducts collected from the forest management sites will be supplied as sawdust to livestock farms, and forest welfare services will also be provided, such as holding events to share firewood of love with neighbors in need.

Mayor Lee Seung-ok stated, “We will do our best to maximize public interest by providing forest services such as landscape creation and job creation through the public forest management project.”
