Gijang County, Joint Public-Private Environmental Cleanup Along Jangan-Jwagwangcheon Stream to Welcome Holiday Travelers

Over 100 Members from 9 Social Organizations in Jangan-eup Participate

Gijang-gun (Governor Jung Jongbok) carried out the 'Residents Directly Manage Jwagwangcheon' activity in the Jwagwangcheon area of Jangan-eup on the 10th in celebration of Chuseok.

This environmental maintenance was conducted to provide a pleasant and safe environment for visitors returning to their hometowns for the Chuseok holiday through pre-holiday cleanup activities.

About 100 people, including members from nine social organizations in Jangan-eup and Gijang-gun staff, participated in the event.

Participants worked hard to create a better environment by picking up trash and cleaning unsanitary areas along the 3.5km walking and bicycle paths from Jwacheon Bridge to Imrang Bridge in Jangan-eup.

Jung Jongbok, Governor of Gijang-gun, said, "I would like to thank the members of the social organizations in Jangan-eup who participated in the environmental maintenance to create a clean Jwagwangcheon for Chuseok despite the hot weather," and added, "We will actively support not only environmental maintenance but also the expansion of various convenience and safety facilities so that Jwagwangcheon can become a healing space loved by local residents."
