The Amazing Change of Nature, Waterfront Areas Before and After #1

Harmony Conceived by the Breath of Nature and Man’s Hand


Neungam Wetland of the Han River
The Neungam Wetland area in Chungju City, Chungbuk used to experience influx of contaminants such as pesticides from the crowded vinyl-houses before the project. After the project, all of the vinyl-houses were removed and growing prunus vedoensis that were planted neatly by the citizens on last Arbor Day have filled up the ground. The wooden deck was installed inner side of the wetland to provide a comfortable path that people can take a walk and a great deal of bike trails was created on the outer side of the wetland.


Gulam Strict, Gangcheon Island of the Han River And Waterfront Park
The place that used to be covered by sediments and contaminants has been transformed into an ecological park as the cozy shelter with green green forest. In this ecological park located where a scenic view of the Gangcheon Weir is granted, pine trees donated by the citizens were planted along with the bike trails.


Miho Stream Wetland Park of the Geum River
The land of Miho Stream in Yeongi-gun of Chungnam which did not have anything around before was reborn as the wetland park. The lotus-shaped artificial flora island particularly attracts people’s attention, which is constructed by the mat of vegetation planted to purify water and help maintain a stable ecosystem. A wooden deck was placed around for the people to observe the wetland plants without compromising the ecosystem.
