The first day consists of practical lectures. Yeongwoo Jeon, Chairman of the Cultural Heritage Committee, will teach "Understanding Natural Heritage," Myungseok Choi, Professor at Gyeongsang National University, will cover "Tree Physiology," Sanggil Park, Researcher at Gachon University, will lecture on "Soil Science," and Gyu-jong Jeong, Professor at Shingu University, will teach "Tree Management."

The second day features three thematic lectures: Kwonsun Hwang, Director of the Cultural Heritage Conservation Bureau at the Cultural Heritage Administration, will discuss "Current Status and Directions of Natural Heritage Climate Change Response Policies," Kyungjoon Lee, Professor Emeritus at Seoul National University, will present on "Non-biological Damage Theory in Response to Climate Change," and Geonhyung Kwon, Researcher at the Gyeonggi Forest Environment Research Institute, will cover "Tree Pest and Disease Control."
