The city of Daejeon announced on the 13th that it has officially designated 1,316,000 square meters of land in San 6-1, Hodong, Jung-gu as the planned site for the Bomunsan Arboretum.

After establishing the project plan in 2022, the Bomunsan Arboretum received approval for the site designation from the Korea Forest Service in November, following a central investment review by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety in July.

The city aims to begin compensation and design work starting in December, with the goal of commencing construction in 2026.

The planned site for the arboretum features beautiful natural terrain, plant resources, and the Beomgolcheon stream. Once the mountain-type arboretum, harmonizing with the natural environment, is established, it is expected to become a hub for the collection, conservation, research, and propagation of plant genetic resources in the central temperate region.

Starting with the Bomunsan Arboretum, the city plans to create the Mokdal-dong Pureunae and Musudong Supneoul Natural Recreation Forests, and connect existing facilities such as the Musudong Healing Forest, Wood Culture Experience Center, and Boun University to the Bomunsan Happiness (Dulle) Trail, transforming the Bomunsan area into a forest welfare and recreation complex.

Park Dohyun, Director of the Daejeon City Greenery and Agricultural Life Bureau, said, "With the creation of the Bomunsan Arboretum, we will expand eco-friendly recreation spaces in the old downtown area and refurbish Bomunsan into a premier forest recreation destination, returning it to the citizens."
