Boseong-gun Achieves Significant Budget Savings by Creating Fine Dust Blocking Forests

256 Trees Distributed and Planted at Jeonnam Provincial Forest Resources Research Institute

[Boseong=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Jeollanam-do Boseong-gun announced on the 31st that it saved about 50 million won in budget by reutilizing trees from the Jeollanam-do Forest Resources Research Institute for the ‘Fine Dust Blocking Forest and Small Park Creation Project.’

The Jeollanam-do Forest Resources Research Institute provided trees to Boseong-gun to create old-aged and distinctive forest trails needed by the county through several consultations and on-site inspections.

The institute donated 256 trees of 14 species free of charge, with representative species including Thuja orientalis, persimmon, plum, white crape myrtle, Korean juniper, and Korean red pine.

Boseong-gun plans to use the distributed trees for creating forest trails, fragrance tunnel forests, and rock garden forests within the ‘Fine Dust Blocking Forest.’

Additionally, for Korean red pine, they plan to plant more trees in the existing Korean red pine colony at the beach in Gunhak-ri, Hoecheon-myeon, to form a natural coastal windbreak forest and utilize them in small parks along the roadside.

A county official stated, “By reutilizing the trees received from the Forest Resources Research Institute in urban forest creation projects such as the fine dust blocking forest, we achieved a budget saving effect of about 50 million won in tree purchase costs. We will continue to implement forest administration that saves budget and enhances project completeness by reutilizing valuable trees.”

Meanwhile, the Boseong-gun ‘Fine Dust Blocking Forest and Small Park Creation Project’ is scheduled to be completed by the end of May and returned to the residents.
