The Jagang Provincial Forestry Management Bureau fulfilled its afforestation plan by 107 percent.

The Kangwon Provincial Forestry Management Bureau provided the units involved in afforestation with necessary sci-tech information, encouraging the public tree-planting campaign.

The South Phyongan Provincial Forestry Management Bureau planted 0.7 million more trees than the planned.
