The Forestry Direct Payment system is designed to promote the public functions of forests and stabilize the income of forestry workers by providing direct payments to those engaged in silviculture, such as producing forest products like jujube, walnuts, and chestnuts, or planting and cultivating trees in eligible forest areas.

For silviculture, eligible forestry workers must have received forest management plan approval and been registered as agricultural management entities for forest land during the same period, engaged in silviculture for at least one year (60 days or more annually), and have a silviculture record of at least 3 hectares over the past 10 years, among other qualifications.

Notably, this year the application period for the Forestry Direct Payment has been moved up by one month and extended by one month to facilitate applicants.

Online applications can be submitted from March 1 to March 31 via the ‘Forestry-in Integrated Portal.’ In-person applications can be made from April 1 to April 30 by visiting the local town or township office in the forest area and submitting the registration application form.

Detailed information can be obtained from each Forest Greenery Division or town/township office, and inquiries can also be made at the Korea Forest Service Forestry Direct Payment Consultation Center.

County Governor Namcheol Lee stated, “The Forestry Direct Payment contributes to stabilizing forestry household income and revitalizing forest management. We will thoroughly promote the program to ensure no forestry households miss the application and actively work to increase forestry income and stimulate the local economy.”
