Thanks to their efforts more than 500 million trees have been planted, roads improved and constructed, rivers and streams extending at least 1,590 km readjusted and many dwelling houses and public buildings renovated.

Innovations have been made in the work to turn mountains and fields into thick woodland and greenery. South Hamgyong Province worked out a concrete plan for tree planting and carried it out in a big way, planting trees in over 19,000 hectares of area. Different cities and counties in Kangwon and North Hamgyong provinces and Yonsan, Yonthan, Songchon, Phyongwon and Kujang counties planted many trees of good species and found out forests and land to introduce the agro-forestry management method and push ahead with tree planting.

A drive for face-lifting roads made brisk headway. Roads extending more than 1,200 km were improved and new roads extending over 100 km built.

Projects for improving rivers and streams progressed apace in different parts of the country.

More than 340,000 cubic meters of earth were removed and over 40,000 square meters of stones laid to complete more than 40 embankment projects.

More than 220 rivers and streams were improved. Repairing the embankments along the River Jangja and other projects for preventing flood damage went full steam ahead.

Many dwelling houses and public buildings were rebuilt and renovated to face-lift urban and rural areas.
