Hwasun-gun Accepts Applications for 'Forestry and Forest Public Interest Direct Payment' Until the 31st of Next Month

[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Ji-woon] Jeonnam Hwasun-gun announced on the 28th that it will accept applications for forestry and forest public payment (forestry direct payment) from the 1st to the 31st of next month.

The forestry direct payment, scheduled to be implemented from October 1st this year, is a system to compensate the low income of forestry workers engaged in forest product production and afforestation to promote the continuous public value of forests and revitalize forest management.

Applicants must be forestry workers or agricultural corporations registered as agricultural management entities for forest land by June 30th.

Applicants must comply with obligations such as maintaining the shape and function of the forest land, continuous forest resource management, and completion of education.

However, forest lands such as national and public forests, lands applying for other direct payments, forest land with conversion permits, fallow forest land, industrial complexes, planned development project sites, and those with comprehensive income other than agriculture exceeding 37 million KRW, as well as residents living outside rural areas where the forest land is located, are excluded.

Applications can be submitted at the administrative welfare centers of the towns and townships where the owned forest land is located.

If there are two or more applicable forest lands, applications should be submitted at the administrative welfare center of the town or township with the largest area.

The county plans to accept applications until next month, conduct qualification reviews and investigations, finalize the recipients, and pay the forestry direct payment in November and December.

A county official said, "We will do our best to promote and guide so that many forestry workers can benefit," and added, "Please apply within the deadline to avoid any disadvantages from missing the forestry direct payment."
