Naju-si Delivers Firewood to Vulnerable Groups Using Wood Byproducts

[Naju=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Han-hyeok] Naju City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Yoon Byung-tae) announced on the 24th that it has produced firewood from wood by-products generated through a 98-hectare forest maintenance project this year and delivered it to 23 households with poor economic conditions and one welfare facility.

The amount of firewood provided this year to help neighbors in need have a warm winter reaches approximately 60 tons.

Collecting wood by-products with low usage value helps prevent forest fires, protect forests, and reduce heating costs for vulnerable groups, receiving great support from residents every year.

For households with mobility difficulties or elderly residents, the city delivers firewood using township and neighborhood vehicles, spreading warmth.

A city official said, “By recycling wood by-products generated from the forest maintenance project, we are not only preventing forest fires but also reducing the heating cost burden for neighbors in need. We thank the Forest Biomass Collection Group for actively participating in sharing warmth through firewood work every year.”

Meanwhile, in addition to sharing firewood, the city is utilizing wood by-products this year for the Mahan Culture Festival wood wish board booth, Eco Wangok Education Center, and Geumseongsan Ecological Forest wood utilization education.
