Let’s Explore the Eulsukdo Children’s Forest Experience Center—A Global Migratory Bird Sanctuary Full of Birdsongs, Breezes, and Laughter!

내용

The Busan Nakdong River Management Headquarters announced that it is operating the Eulsukdo Children’s Forest Experience Center (hereinafter referred to as “the Center”) to provide young children and their families opportunities to interact with nature and enjoy various forest experiences in Eulsukdo.

The Center, created in February this year at the Eulsukdo Picnic Plaza, was designed to foster emotional development and holistic growth in young children.

Forest education has been known to provide numerous benefits for young children, such as improved learning ability, increased environmental sensitivity, enhanced self-concept, stronger immunity, emotional stability, and the development of social skills.

To help participants fully immerse themselves in nature, the Center offers a variety of programs including the Children’s Forest, Family Forest, and Healing Forest experiences. Certified forest instructors specializing in early childhood education are also available to guide participants and facilitate interaction with nature across the seasons.

The Children’s Forest Experience targets young children and is offered in two formats:
▲ Exploratory Forest and ▲ Play-based Forest.
Reservations for the May session will open on April 15.

The Family Forest Experience, which includes activities for families with young children, is scheduled to begin in August. This program will require a participation fee, and further details will be announced separately.

The Healing Forest Experience is designed for adults. Participants can enjoy the natural beauty of Eulsukdo through programs such as:
▲ Storytelling Flower Tea Salon and
▲ Eulsukdo Healing Yoga.

All program applications can be submitted through the city’s Integrated Reservation Website:

Kim Kyung-hee, Director of the Nakdong River Management Headquarters, stated,

“We hope that the young children who will shape our future can grow up healthy by experiencing and connecting with nature at the globally recognized Eulsukdo migratory bird sanctuary. We will continue to expand ecological and environmental experience programs to provide more educational opportunities.”
