The province announced on the 26th that it will expand green infrastructure such as 12 urban forests, 19 school forests, 16 fine dust blocking forests, 3 child-safe green forests, and 6 living proximity forests in local living zones.


To additionally create urban forests and others, the province plans to invest 33 billion KRW in five projects next year.
