Yeonggwang-gun, Additional Applications for 'Forestry and Forest Public Direct Payment' from the 7th

[Yeonggwang=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 1st that it will accept additional applications for the 2022 Forestry and Forest Public Direct Payment from the 7th of this month to the 7th of next month.

The forestry direct payment targets forestry workers and agricultural corporations who are actually managing forestry in mountainous areas where forestry management entities have been registered from April 1, 2019, to September 30 of this year.

The forestry direct payment system, implemented for the first time this year, is a system that pays direct payments annually to qualified forestry workers as stipulated by the Forestry Direct Payment Act to promote the public functions of forestry and forests and to compensate for the low income of forestry workers.

This additional application period is to ensure that those who missed the previous application period or registered as forestry management entities by the 30th and missed the application deadline can still receive the benefits of the direct payment.

When applying for the forestry direct payment, applicants must understand the eligibility criteria for payment and receipt, mandatory compliance items, and precautions, then fill out the registration application form and submit it along with the required documents.

Recipients of the forestry direct payment will be inspected for compliance with various mandatory obligations such as maintaining the shape and function of the mountainous area, completing education to promote public functions, pesticide and soil (chemical fertilizer) testing, and sustainable forest resource management, and will face reductions if they fail to comply.

The county plans to finalize the recipients in November through eligibility verification after the application period ends on the 7th of next month, calculate the final amount through compliance inspections, and pay the amount in December.

A county official said, "Forestry workers who have not yet completed registration as forestry management entities must complete it by the 30th and apply for the additional forestry direct payment within the period."
