The curriculum covers a variety of engaging topics such as understanding insects and plants, climate change and insects, rosette plants and plant life cycles after winter, and the relationship between humans and plants, offering both fun and informative content for participants.

This program, conducted with experts in each field, aims to record changes in the wetland ecosystem through local biodiversity surveys, and to provide residents with hands-on experiences that highlight the value and importance of wetland conservation.

Participants who attend at least seven sessions will receive a certificate of completion and will be given opportunities to participate in future ecological resource monitoring activities.

A county official stated, "As the value of wetlands increases due to the climate crisis, the responsibility and importance of our county as a Ramsar Wetland City are also growing. We will continue to promote various wetland education and experience programs so that both residents and visitors can understand and actively participate in ecosystem conservation."
