[Muan＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] Muan-gun, Jeollanam-do held a one-day forest care experience event on the 22nd and 23rd at the Oryongsan cypress reforestation site, attended by over 70 participants including residents, public officials, and forestry project teams.

According to the county on the 26th, this experience event was designed to allow participants to care for the trees planted in the forest to help them grow well and to directly experience forest care work, thereby appreciating the value and gratitude of forests. The Korea Forest Service also designates November each year as Forest Care Month and holds related events.

On the first day of the event, the 22nd, a one-day forest experience for young children was held, where about 30 children participated in drawing pictures with loess paint inside the forest. On the 23rd, a fertilizing event was conducted for about 600 cypress trees planted in 2006.

The Oryongsan cypress forest is expected to become a new healing space for residents, offering children a rare opportunity to experience the scent of cypress in the forest and participate in drawing activities using eco-friendly Muan loess paint.

County Governor Kim San said, "I hope this event serves as an opportunity to remind us once again of the benefits forests provide and the necessity to preserve and nurture them." He added, "We will strive to make Muan-gun's forests dense and healthy, actively implement financial support and job creation projects related to forest development, and contribute to the local economy's growth."
