Operation of Forest Healing Programs at Baebongsan and Dapsimni Park in Dongdaemun-gu

Placement of Forest Welfare Experts, Healing Forest Trails, and Various Programs Including Early Childhood Forest Experiences

Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul (Mayor Lee Pil-hyung) has started full-scale operation of forest education and healing programs this month, providing residents with high-quality forest welfare services.

Dongdaemun-gu, known as the city of flowers, has urban forests and parks such as Baebongsan, Cheonjangsan, Dapsimni Park, and Hongneung Park, where residents can enjoy green trees and colorful flowers.

Starting in March, the district has assigned forest welfare experts (▲Forest Healing Instructor ▲Early Childhood Forest Instructor ▲Forest Interpreter) to the forest education and healing programs, and plans to continue various programs utilizing forest resources until the end of the year.

The "Healing Forest Trail" program consists of activities that use various elements of the forest to heal and restore the mind and body, such as forest gymnastics, aroma massage, and sunlight meditation. The "Early Childhood Forest Experience" offers age-appropriate experiential programs that allow young children to feel nature physically, cultivate emotions, and develop curiosity and adventurous spirit.

The "Forest Interpretation" program is divided into groups for young children, adolescents, and the general public, providing time to observe plants and focus on the sounds of nature with themes suitable for each season.

From August this year, a "Woodcraft Experience" program will be held at the woodcraft experience center opening at the entrance of the Cheonjangsan forest trail.

The district plans to expand customized forest education programs linked to curricula for social minorities and to foster emotional development in adolescents.

Residents who wish to participate in the forest education and healing programs can make reservations on the Seoul Public Service Reservation website (Cultural Experience - Forest Leisure).

Lee Pil-hyung, Mayor of Dongdaemun-gu, stated, "I hope residents gain new energy and vitality by communing with nature through the forest healing programs. We will strive to create 'Dongdaemun-gu, the city of flowers,' where residents can encounter flowers and trees throughout the city and heal through nature, ensuring their health and happiness."
