Damyang Goseo-myeon Metasequoia Tree-lined Road Reborn as a Convenience Facility for Local Residents

Goseo Local Road Widening Project Necessitates Removal... Chairs and Signboards Created

Shade-Giving and Scenic Street Trees Transformed into Rest Areas for Conversations

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] The Metasequoia tree-lined street in Goseo-myeon, which has been with the residents for over 40 years, is being reborn as a resting space for the community.

On the 24th, according to the county, the county utilized the byproducts of the Metasequoia trees that were inevitably cut down due to the Goseo local road expansion project to produce benches, signboards, and other items, which were distributed free of charge to parks and urban forests where residents needed them.

The Goseo Metasequoia tree-lined street was planted in the 1980s for landscape formation and has shared 40 years with the residents, but was inevitably removed during the expansion project of Jeollanam-do Local Road No. 887.

Accordingly, Damyang-gun processed the Metasequoia byproducts into convenience facilities such as benches and distributed them to towns and townships on the 22nd to return them to the local residents.

A county official said, “It is unfortunate that the Metasequoia tree-lined street was removed due to the local road expansion project, but we are glad to be able to return it to the residents by producing convenience facilities,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to create beautiful and distinctive premium tree-lined streets.”
