Gokseong-gun Shares Love Firewood Using Forest Thinning Byproducts

A Warm Winter Together with Vulnerable Neighbors

[Gokseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Cha Jongseon] Gokseong-gun, Jeonnam (Governor Yu Geun-gi) has started sharing firewood of love with local residents.

Gokseong-gun annually produces firewood from thinning wood generated through forest management projects that are difficult to use as timber, and delivers it to vulnerable groups. Through this, it alleviates residents' concerns about heating costs in winter and fosters an atmosphere of sharing and consideration in the local community.

The Love Firewood Sharing event, which began on the 4th, was attended by Governor Yu Geun-gi and related officials along with local residents.

Event participants visited the home of Mr. S, who resides in Okgwa-myeon, and delivered one ton of firewood.

Gokseong-gun plans to provide about 100 tons of firewood to a total of 70 households, including low-income families and elderly living alone, by mid-November.

An official from the county said, "This year is expected to be colder than usual, and with fuel costs rising significantly, we hope that the Love Firewood Sharing will warm the bodies and hearts of our residents. Additionally, to reduce farm management costs, we plan to provide sawdust to livestock and fruit farms."
