[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang County, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 27th that following the administrative order to elevate social distancing to Level 3 in Gyeongsangnam-do, the Geochang Anti-Aging Healing Land forest program will be operated in various alternative ways.


Geochang Anti-Aging Healing Land offers customized forest interpretation and forest healing programs tailored to different age groups from toddlers to adults and according to the seasons.


During the period of minimizing contact due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), the county operates non-face-to-face programs that families can experience together, as well as “visiting forest programs” that go directly to kindergartens or schools using related tools for residents who find it difficult to visit.


The forest program, operated by one forest interpreter and two forest healing instructors, is planned to help residents exhausted from daily life due to COVID-19 to relax and relieve stress in the forest.


In addition, strict compliance with social distancing and quarantine rules to prevent the spread of COVID-19 ensures safe participation.



Gu In-mo, the mayor of Geochang County, said, “We plan to develop and operate various programs to relieve depression caused by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic through the forest,” and added, “We hope that through this program, people can safely see and feel nature and find comfort for their tired bodies and minds.”
