[Wando＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Along National Road No. 13, from Daldo in Gunoe-myeon, the gateway to Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Shin Woo-cheol), to Wando-eup, beautiful street trees such as Honggashnamu, Kkotdaenggang, and Ipamnu are planted.

According to the county on the 23rd, to enhance the image of Wando as a clean water city and to provide a better and more beautiful street landscape for residents and tourists, environmental maintenance along major roads will be carried out until the 30th.

The roadside environmental maintenance includes mowing around national and local roads and simultaneously removing kudzu vines that damage the street trees.

Despite the weather issuing heatwave warnings day after day following a short rainy season, 20 members of the forestry work team are sweating from early morning performing mowing, vine removal, and pruning of ornamental trees.

Park Eun-jae, head of the Environment and Forestry Division, said, “We are conducting the work while complying with COVID-19 quarantine rules and heatwave-related safety guidelines,” and added, “In the future, we will put more effort into creating a pleasant environment by maintaining not only major roadsides but also parks and tourist sites.”

Meanwhile, the 12 towns and townships of Wando-gun also plan to complete maintenance of major tourist sites and roadsides by July.
