Kooksoondang Conducts 'National Forest Cultivation' Activity at Cheongtaesan, Gangwon-do

Kuksundang announced on the 13th that it conducted a ‘National Forest Cultivation’ activity to protect and nurture forests at the ‘Kuksundang National Forest’ within the Cheongtaesan Natural Recreation Forest in Hoengseong, Gangwon-do, in collaboration with the Korea National Arboretum.

Since 2005, Kuksundang has held a designation agreement ceremony with the Korea National Arboretum to designate a 20,000㎡ (6,000 pyeong) green space within Cheongtaesan as the ‘Kuksundang National Forest’ and jointly manages it. The Kuksundang National Forest was designated as the first corporate-managed forest within the national arboretum. In 2015, the two parties signed a business agreement focusing on mutual cooperation in forest culture education and promotional support, and have been steadily carrying out ‘National Forest Cultivation’ activities.

During this National Forest Cultivation activity, undergrowth and vines were removed and dead trees were cleared to maintain the ecological health of the forest and optimize its various functions. Additionally, safety maintenance was performed on the deck road facilities to prevent accidents, ensuring safe use for visitors to the National Cheongtaesan Natural Recreation Forest. Tree branch trimming, pruning, and fertilization using Kuksundang Makgeolli were also conducted.

A Kuksundang official stated, “Alcohol consumed by people must be produced in a clean environment,” adding, “Kuksundang fulfills its role as an environmental steward based on the corporate philosophy that a good environment makes good alcohol, and plans to actively expand its ESG activities in the future.”
