100 Birdhouses Built by Residents Installed on Gagamisan in Osan

One hundred birdhouses have been installed on Gagamisan (also known as Gapgolsan) in Osan City.

On the 7th, Chopyeong-dong in Osan City held the "Chopyeong Intergenerational Communication Eco-School - Making a Village with Birds" event at Gagamisan Green Care Forest Neighborhood Park.

At the event, approximately 200 residents participated, with 100 resident households personally making 100 artificial birdhouses and installing them on the slopes of Gagamisan.

The event, hosted by Chopyeong-dong's civic organization alliance "Palsaek Crew," was designed to foster intergenerational exchange as families and neighbors worked together to build birdhouses, and to enable residents to directly participate in preserving the local ecosystem.

The event was carried out based on a memorandum of understanding established between Osan City's River and Green Spaces Division's Onmaeul Woodworking Experience Center, Chopyeong-dong Administrative Welfare Center, and Palsaek Crew.

The Onmaeul Woodworking Experience Center provided support through professional personnel including wood education specialists and woodworking experience instructors, as well as equipment and educational facilities, while Chopyeong-dong handled resident participation promotion and administrative support to enable residents to make the birdhouses.

Palsaek Crew, which organized the event, was responsible for resident recruitment and event operations, and plans to continue monitoring the installed birdhouses and carrying out surrounding environmental cleanup activities.

Lee Ki-young, Chief of Chopyeong-dong, stated, "It is meaningful that families and neighbors came together from children to the elderly to take action for nature," and added, "I hope the experience of making and installing birdhouses leads to continued observation and management, establishing an ecological conservation culture."
