Je Jong-nam from Masanhwoewon-gu Office is visiting the pest control team to encourage them.

The Forest Pest Monitoring and Control Team is responsible for early detection and rapid control of forest pests. Masanhwoin-gu has formed a total of 12 direct management monitoring and control team members (2 for monitoring, 10 for control) and has been focusing all efforts on control work since early October last year.

Masanhwoin-gu plans to make every effort in forest pest control by maximizing the use of the direct control team until May next year, when the intensive control period ends, and by investing 150 million KRW in a project to remove pine trees damaged by pine wilt disease.

The district head said, “Please do your best to promote a systematic control project to prevent the spread of pine wilt disease and maintain the health of local forests,” and added, “Safety is the top priority, so please strictly follow safety rules to prevent any safety accidents.”
