Yeonggwang-gun Conducts Mandatory Training for Forestry Direct Payment Recipients

Yeonggwang-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kang Jong-man) announced on the 25th that it conducted education on the Forestry and Forest Public Direct Payment System for foresters registered as forestry management entities at the Yeonggwang Forest Museum.

The forestry direct payment system, implemented from October 1 last year, is a system that provides direct payments to qualified foresters to compensate for the low income of forestry households and to continuously secure the public functions of forests.

From this year, foresters who wish to receive forestry direct payments must complete at least 2 hours of education on the promotion of the public functions of forestry and forests and the importance of forests in accordance with the 'Forestry Direct Payment Act.' If the education is not completed, the payment will be reduced by 10%.

This group (face-to-face) education was conducted for foresters who registered as forestry management entities by September 30 last year and applied for forestry direct payments this year. For those who could not attend the education, additional sessions are planned to be held in June.

A county official stated, "We hope that foresters eligible for forestry direct payments this year complete the education to avoid disadvantages due to non-completion."
