S-OIL, Participates in Preserving Sinbulsan Silver Grass Forest... Generously Covers Project Costs

S-OIL Ulsan Plant delivered 150 million KRW in project funds on the 24th at Ulju-gun Office to Ulju-gun and Ulsan Life Forest for the promotion of the ‘Sinbulsan Silver Grass Forest Conservation Project’.

The delivery ceremony was attended by Lee Soon-geol, Ulju-gun Governor, Cha Dong-jo, CEO of Ulsan Life Forest, and Oh Seok-dong, Executive Director of S-OIL. The funds delivered on this day will be used for the Sinbulsan silver grass forest conservation research service, ecosystem restoration, and silver grass growth management.

The project site is about 13 hectares of silver grass forest distributed along the ridge from the summit of Sinbulsan, one of the Yeongnam Alps mountains, a mountain tourism destination in Ulju-gun. Together with the nearby Ganwoljae, it is a famous silver grass spot and has been selected as one of Korea’s top 100 premium forests. Hundreds of thousands of hikers visit the forest annually.

S-OIL, Ulju-gun, and Ulsan Life Forest officials are holding a ceremony to deliver funds for the silver grass forest conservation project.

The Sinbulsan silver grass forest is experiencing a continuous decrease in the area of its colonies due to the alpine climate characteristics and the succession of surrounding vegetation such as Myungjulnamu and Ssari species, leading to ongoing demands for landscape conservation.

Accordingly, Ulju-gun and Ulsan Life Forest are conducting a research service with Daegu University Forest Research Institute to establish systematic restoration and conservation methods for the silver grass forest.

Based on the research results, a five-year mid- to long-term conservation plan will be established by actively reflecting expert and citizen opinions, and ecosystem restoration, planting, and growth management of the silver grass colonies will be promoted.

Oh Seok-dong, Executive Director of S-OIL, said, “We are pleased to participate in a sustainable community contribution project for the conservation of the Sinbulsan silver grass forest,” adding, “We will spare no support in accordance with the mid- to long-term conservation plan so that the well-preserved silver grass forest can be accessible to citizens.”

S-OIL Ulsan Plant is also leading various environmental protection activities such as ‘Ulsan Coastal Underwater Cleanup Activities,’ ‘Participation in Companion Beach Programs,’ and ‘Natural Monument Protection Activities.’
