Through the Green Infrastructure Expansion Project, the Korea Forest Welfare Institute has created 125.8 km of ‘Barrier-Free Sharing Trails’ across 130 locations nationwide. Additionally, in collaboration with specialized forest welfare service organizations and groups, it has provided forest healing, forest education, and other forest welfare services to more than 3 million vulnerable individuals annually.

Nam Tae-heon, President of the Korea Forest Welfare Institute, stated, “The Korea Forest Welfare Institute is continuously discovering and promoting public value projects that enhance forest accessibility for socially and economically disadvantaged groups and expand opportunities for forest experiences. We hope many people will show interest and participate in this public contest funded by the Lottery Fund so that more citizens can enjoy the happiness that forests provide.”
