Gurye-gun Promotes Sharing of Firewood with Love

Reducing Heating Cost Burden for Economically Disadvantaged Neighbors

[Gurye=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yuk Miseok] Jeollanam-do Gurye-gun announced that in the winter of 2022, it promoted the "Sharing Love Firewood" project using byproducts from forest thinning to help vulnerable groups spend a warm winter without worrying about heating costs.

The Love Firewood was provided to 54 vulnerable households, including basic livelihood security recipients and elderly living alone, through the eup and myeon offices. It is expected to greatly help reduce winter heating costs for marginalized groups facing economic difficulties in the era of high oil prices.

The Love Firewood was made by collecting byproducts generated from forest thinning projects using public forest maintenance personnel, then processed into firewood and delivered directly to each household.

County Governor Kim Sunho said, "The forest thinning project achieves various effects such as creating forest resources, generating jobs, and supporting firewood. We will strive to raise awareness of the importance of forest resources and build a warm local community."
