About the Korea National Park Service
The Korea National Park Service is authorized by the Minister of Environment to conserve natural resources through research and study. Ever since established in 1987, the organization has been in charge of national park management, which involves the installation and maintenance of park facilities and publication of park maps and promotional materials.
