[Jindo＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Jindo-gun, Jeollanam-do is actively operating forest experience programs to help children’s emotional education and healthy growth.

According to the county on the 4th, through the forest experience program held at Unlim Forest Bathing Center, children can experience various functions of the forest and learn creativity, sociability, and the importance of nature.

A certified early childhood forest instructor conducts free seasonal and thematic forest experience education programs tailored to children’s perspectives, and applications can be made at any time until December.

All programs are conducted in compliance with quarantine rules, and step-by-step programs such as non-face-to-face online education and visiting forest interpretation are also prepared in anticipation of social distancing level upgrades.

Unlim Forest Bathing Center is equipped with facilities such as rope play equipment and log play equipment to develop children’s five senses while maintaining the existing natural environment as much as possible, making it an ideal place for children to run and play.

An official from the Environment and Forestry Division of Jindo-gun said, “We are operating forest experience programs so that children exhausted by COVID-19 can find joy in the forest,” and added, “We hope children can develop their sensitivity and creativity through experiential activities that allow them to run freely and interact with nature in the forest.”

Currently, Jindo-gun is promoting the establishment of an early childhood forest experience center and plans to continuously expand the scale to expand and operate customized programs for children.
