[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Sancheong-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 20th that the removal work of vines in afforestation sites and along roadsides is in its final stage.

According to Sancheong-gun, since May until the end of October, a project to remove vines that damage tree growth and spoil the scenery has been underway.

The project is in its final phase, involving 48 forestry biomass workers and a budget of 900 million won to remove vines over 530 hectares of afforestation sites and major road areas where vines are distributed.

The work is carried out by digging out the roots to prevent vines such as kudzu from climbing trees or by removing vines that have climbed and wrapped around the trees.

An official from the county stated, “Vines in afforestation sites and along major roads spread and reproduce rapidly, requiring continuous and repeated management,” adding, “We will expand post-afforestation management projects so that young trees can grow into economic forests and create healthy forests.”
