The city of Suwon in Gyeonggi Province will operate the 'Forest Pest Monitoring and Control Headquarters' from June to August to minimize damage caused by forest pests.

On the 14th, Suwon City announced that it plans to establish the headquarters at the Suwon City Parks and Greenery Office and the Parks and Greenery Departments of four district offices to strengthen monitoring during the peak period of forest pest outbreaks, carry out timely control, and actively respond to sudden pest outbreaks.

The headquarters will be staffed by 95 personnel, including 77 Suwon city officials and 18 members of the forest and general pest monitoring and control teams.

The main tasks include ▲ monitoring and controlling forest pests and establishing a cooperative system with related organizations ▲ promoting awareness of forest pests to local residents and operating a resident reporting system ▲ pest control projects for damaged trees and disposal of removed trees ▲ joint monitoring and diagnosis to detect damaged trees.

Additionally, smart monitoring activities will be conducted to prevent the spread of pine wilt disease through the 'QR Code Dead Tree Tracking System,' and control measures will be implemented immediately upon the occurrence of sudden, invasive, or general pests to minimize damage.

A Suwon city official emphasized, "We will strengthen monitoring during the peak period of forest pest outbreaks to carry out timely control," adding, "We will focus on preventing the spread of forest pests and minimizing damage to create a healthy forest ecosystem."
