Bukhansan Forest Guide
 |
Description
Book Introduction
This is Korea's first on-site forest guidebook, printed and explained in a book, the trees and forests encountered while walking along the Changneungcheon Solnaeum Nurigil Trail in Goyang City, adjacent to the Bukhansan National Park Trail.
Until now, forest interpretation has been done orally by forest interpreters on site for forest visitors.
Therefore, by providing one-time commentary with limited content to a small number of visitors, visitors were unable to remember most of the knowledge they learned on site.
And there are many internet programs that search for flowers, so there are many apps that can easily tell you the name and characteristics of a flower by simply taking a picture of it and uploading it, but there are few apps that can easily search for a tree you are curious about, and even if there were, it was difficult to trust the information.
The author is a forest interpreter who has developed an interest in forests and trees while exploring famous mountains across the country for over 20 years, and a veterinarian who cherishes and loves mountains and forests. This guidebook was written based on the author's own photographic records of the mountain's outstanding scenery, flora and fauna, and cultural assets, which he took while climbing up and down Bukhansan for over 10 years.
The text includes a total of 135 tree species, including 84 species that can be observed in Bukhansan Mountain and 51 species that are similar or need to be distinguished, along with seasonal photos.
Each tree is accompanied by ecological characteristics, historical and cultural significance, and even descriptions from literary works, allowing readers to understand not only the trees but also the forest from various perspectives.
Additionally, the book includes approximately 900 high-resolution photographs taken by the author himself, helping readers identify trees on the spot and deeply appreciate nature.
With this one book, you will be able to easily understand the identity and stories of the trees you encounter in the mountains and fields of the central region, including Bukhansan Mountain.

Publisher's Review
The joy of understanding the forest while walking around Bukhansan Mountain
Korea's first on-site forest guidebook featuring 135 tree species
Bukhansan is a familiar national park to those living in the metropolitan area and a famous mountain visited by nearly 10 million visitors annually.
However, while it is easy to return home after taking in the beautiful scenery, few people know the names and stories of the trees they pass by on the road.
『Bukhansan Forest Commentary』 is a book that resolves this regret.
The author is a veterinarian who has dedicated his life to research. He is also a certified forest interpreter and an expert in the field of forest interpretation who has studied forests and trees on Mt. Bukhan and shared his knowledge.
In this book, he organized the trees he observed while walking the 10th and 11th sections of the Bukhansan Mountain Trail and the Solnaeum Nurigil Trail along the adjacent Changneungcheon Stream, in the order of the trail movement.
Each tree is accompanied by vivid seasonal photographs, descriptions of its characteristics, ecology, comparisons with similar species, historical records, and even passages from Korean literature related to the tree.
Through this, readers can go beyond simply 'knowing the names of trees' and gain a new understanding of the deep cultural and emotional connection between trees and humans.
The book's greatest strength is its structure that reflects the real-life situation.
Readers can walk around the trail holding the book and encounter trees and forests in the order guided in the book.
It provides an experience similar to walking with a forest guide, and you can explore the trail at any time, regardless of the season, by comparing the photos in the book with the actual site, as if playing a hidden picture game.
Additionally, the approximately 900 color photographs included in the book help anyone, even non-tree experts, easily identify trees and understand the forest.
"Bukhansan Forest Guide" will serve as a guide for frequent visitors to Bukhansan, as well as for anyone who wants to experience the breath of nature in the city, helping them understand trees and forests and realize the importance of preserving the natural ecosystem.
With this book, the forests of Bukhansan Mountain, familiar from exploring the surrounding trails, will present a completely new landscape.
