Gochang-gun Selected as 'Excellent Institution' in Forest Management Project Evaluation

[Gochang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Jae-gil] Jeonbuk Gochang-gun announced on the 26th that it was selected as an excellent institution in the forest management project evaluation hosted by Jeonbuk Province.

The forest management project evaluation was established to improve project quality and encourage healthy competition by discovering best practices and improving insufficient cases among the 14 cities and counties in Jeonbuk.

The county received favorable evaluations in the appropriateness of removing competing trees and vines, nurturing of afforestation trees, and the appropriateness of pruning.

Earlier, the county implemented a 700-hectare afforestation site management project this year, including 110 hectares of young tree management, 30 hectares of large tree management, and 50 hectares of forest fire prevention forest management.

'Afforestation site management' involves removing vines and mowing grass that hinder the growth of afforestation trees on afforestation sites over the past three years.

'Young tree management' is a project that removes harmful species competing with the canopy, vines, damaged trees, and broken trees from trees aged 5 to 15 years after afforestation.

'Large tree management' targets forests where density control of trees aged 15 years or older is necessary.

'Forest fire prevention forest management' is a project that converts coniferous forests in high-risk forest fire areas into broadleaf forests to prevent the spread of forest fires.

Kim Seong-geun, head of the Forest and Park Division, said, "We will nurture Gochang's forest resources to increase their future economic value and transform them into forests with abundant potential."
