On the following day, the 22nd, about 30 residents participated in the "Beautiful Village Entrance and Clean District Creation" activity in Munsuri, Iseo-myeon.

Residents voluntarily worked together to improve the village landscape by removing weeds from the flower beds at the village entrance and collecting household waste from the area.

Munsuri in Iseo-myeon has gained a reputation as a village beautiful in all four seasons thanks to ongoing village improvement projects each year, and such community activities continue to bring warmth and vitality to the local society.

Park Ilbae, head of Iseo-myeon, commented, "Every year, the active participation of villagers in environmental maintenance makes our village beautiful in all four seasons," adding, "I hope visitors will create fond memories when they come."

Cheongdo County plans to use this year’s rice planting and environmental clean-up activities as a starting point to continue listening to the voices of those in the agricultural sector while also making ongoing efforts to create a pleasant local environment.
