The “Creating Jeonnam in the Forest: Resident and Organization Participation Forest” project is one where groups or residents of five or more people directly propose projects and create and manage forests, thereby producing beautiful and valuable landscapes.

A county official stated, “We plan to proceed with the project by obtaining detailed project designs and various permits in January 2024. We will do our best to collaborate with residents and organization members to provide vibrant landscapes and green resting spaces throughout all four seasons.”
