Saplings of different species including Larix lepolepis, fir and pine-nut tree required for creating forests in the period of spring tree planting are sufficiently prepared.

The Central Tree Nursery of the Ministry of Land and Environment Protection raised tens of millions of saplings by fully displaying the vitality of the foundation of scientific, industrial and intensive production of saplings.

A new method of tree planting made it possible to raise the rate of rooting of planted saplings and plant them irrespective of seasons.

Lots of saplings were raised at tree nurseries of the forest management stations to create forests in each city and county.

Millions of saplings were raised by nurseries of the forest management stations in Sunchon and Tokchon cities through strict measures for protecting them from damage by insects.

Similar successes were reported from nurseries of the forest management stations in Jonchon, Songwon, Jongphyong and Paekam counties.
