Gyeongnam Province, "Get Free Tree Diagnosis and Prescription from Tree Doctors"

School Forests: Diagnosis and Treatment Methods for Green Spaces in Multi-Use Living Areas

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Saeyan] Gyeongsangnam-do announced on the 19th that it will provide free tree diagnosis and prescription services for living area trees, targeting school forests and green spaces in multi-use living areas.

This is to control various pests and diseases caused by climate change and increased international exchanges.

Living area tree diagnosis is a tree medical service that provides accurate diagnosis of tree damage and proper management methods for green spaces in living areas such as apartment green spaces.

In particular, with the enforcement of the revised Forest Protection Act, when using pest control agents on trees around living areas, a prescription from a tree doctor must be issued.

According to the Forest Protection Act, a fine of up to 5 million won will be imposed if agents are used without a prescription or if agents different from the prescription are sprayed.

Residents who need tree diagnosis can apply to the nearest public tree hospital or city/county forestry department to receive free on-site tree diagnosis and treatment methods.
