[Muan=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Jeonnam Muan-gun (Governor Kim San) is carrying out a project to create a fine dust blocking forest in the Namak and Oryong districts to establish a clean urban environment where residents can live safely from fine dust and heat waves.

According to the county on the 21st, a total project cost of 2 billion KRW will be invested to create a green forest that can reduce fine dust and provide a healing place, covering an area of about 4 hectares around Namak Waterfront Park and Bicycle Park.

The fine dust blocking forest project, the first of its kind in Muan, aims to create a green corridor around Namak Waterfront Park and Bicycle Park as part of the Green New Deal policy to block the inflow and spread of air pollutants coming from Daebul Industrial Complex.

The fine dust blocking forest is planned to be created in the form of a scenic forest, and once completed, it is expected to provide beautiful and pleasant street scenery to visitors of the Waterfront Park and Bicycle Park.

Governor Kim San said, “We planned the forest creation to block the inflow of fine dust, which causes various respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, into living areas and to provide accessible green spaces to residents,” adding, “We will continue to do our best to create a pleasant environment and improve the quality of life for residents.”
