Planting trees and caring them are a patriotic work for the eternal future of the country, the editorial says, and goes on:

In recent years the army and people of the DPRK have turned out in the nature-harnessing campaign and forest restoration campaign and made big progress in forestation and protection under the leadership of the Party.

The ardent enthusiasm to leave footprints of patriotism for the prosperity of the country and happy life of the future generations has resulted in the completion of the first-phase task for the forest restoration campaign. This is praiseworthy achievement.

This is a bright fruition brought about by the patriotism and loyalty of the army and people of the DPRK to turn the country into a socialist paradise in thick verdure under the guidance of the respected Supreme Leader.

We still have many things to do in order to turn all mountains into treasure mountains as intended by the Party.

We should actively turn out in the spring tree-planting with ardent patriotism and make fresh progress in the work for turning the whole country into thick woodland and greenery this significant year.
