Jangseong-gun Launches Full-Scale 'Hazardous Tree Removal Project Around Residential Areas'

[Jangseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jo Hangyu] Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Yoo Dooseok) announced on the 9th that it will officially begin the ‘Hazardous Tree Removal Project Around Residential Areas’ to minimize damage to residents' lives and property.

This project involves the preemptive removal of trees that may cause damage to houses and buildings due to heavy rain or strong winds.

Since 2015, about 100 large and small hazardous trees have been removed annually, receiving high praise from residents.

The county has allocated a budget of 30 million won to remove about 90 hazardous trees that individuals find difficult to cut down.

The felled trees will be cut into suitable sizes and delivered to applicants for use as firewood, etc.

Residents wishing to have hazardous trees removed must obtain the owner's consent and apply at the Eup/Myeon Administrative Welfare Center between November and December each year.

Applications are only possible in locations accessible by equipment such as cranes, and applicants bear 30% of the cost.

A county official stated, “We will thoroughly remove hazardous elements in advance to protect residents' lives and property from forest disasters and ensure disaster prevention.”
