Jowon 2-dong Community Conducts Major Cleanup of Gwanggyo Mountain Trail

Jowon 2-dong, Jangan-gu, Suwon conducted a major cleanup of the Gwanggyo Mountain "Five Senses Satisfaction" trail on the 4th with approximately 20 participants including members of the Residents' Autonomous Committee, the Saemaeul Movement, and public officials.

The "trail creation" project is a village-building initiative in which local residents directly participate to beautify their living spaces. The project has been ongoing since 2011, and in April, 2,500 flowering trees including flowering cherries, azaleas, Japanese cornel, and rose myrtle were planted within the trail section, providing a pleasant environment for citizens visiting the Gwanggyo Mountain trail.

In particular, the participants checked whether the planted flowering trees were taking root properly and growing well, and collected various types of garbage carelessly discarded by hikers and illegally dumped waste furniture to maintain the trail that citizens frequently enjoy.

Choi Ok-soon, head of Jowon 2-dong, said, "We plan to expand the Five Senses Satisfaction trail project as a community initiative with direct resident participation, and will install convenience facilities so hikers can rest within the trail section to create a trail that everyone will want to enjoy."
