[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim San) announced on the 3rd that it will carry out forest trail maintenance projects on Seungdalsan, Namsan, Yeonjingsan, and Oryongsan to provide residents with pleasant hiking trails by June.

From October last year to March this year, the county deployed professional personnel to conduct forest grooming projects on the Yeonjingsan hiking trails. To assist hikers' safe mountain climbing and create premium forest trails that offer healing at any time, they will undertake the Yeonjingsan Dulle-gil trail construction project and the repair of old wooden stairs on Seungdalsan.

The Yeonjingsan Dulle-gil trail construction project involves creating hiking trails with slopes less than 10 degrees along a total length of 14 km, making the forest paths easily accessible to everyone. The Seungdalsan old stair repair project involves refurbishing 120 meters of stairs.

Upon completion of this project, the safety and accessibility of the hiking trails are expected to improve, allowing residents to hike conveniently.

Governor Kim San said, “We will pay close attention to ensure that outdoor activities such as hiking and trekking, which have increased since COVID-19, can be conducted safely. We will also systematically manage forest trails to enhance the value of forest resources and create a pleasant hiking environment.”

Meanwhile, Muan-gun plans to deploy dedicated personnel to systematically manage 124 km of forest trails and hiking paths within the jurisdiction and to resolve residents’ inconvenience complaints by December.
