Bucheon Ojeong-gu Runs Forest Tracking Program with Tree Experts

Tracking around the mountains which is turning green makes us feel better. Walking along the Bucheon 'Dulaegil'(a tracking course abound and by Bucheon City) makes us feel healthy. How much better do we feel if we can hear interesting things about trees and woods from tree experts while tracking?

Bucheon Ojeong-gu, a district of Bucheon City, announced to run 'Forest Tracking Program with Tree Experts' walking along the mountains hearing interesting knowledge about forest and trees together with their families from April 7 to the end of November, 2013.

Every family with more than two members can take part in the program which will be held around close mountains near the village from 10 to 12 AM every Sunday for two hours. The participants can keep a close watch and play with insects and leaves, while hearing from experts who are specialized in natural environment and ecology. 

During April and May, the theme of the program is 'Spring'. They are preparing the programs such as searching spring wild vegetables and making a pipe with grass. The program will be held on both two courses; Jakdong course on first and third Sunday and Dodang course on second and fourth Sunday. 

The Jakdong course starts from turn-around point of Jakdong 017 village bus, passes by Jangsucheon Mineral Water Spring, Jangan Temple, and Yeongjeongcheon Mineral Water Spring, and goes back to the starting point. It's about 1.8 kilometers long.
