Members of the General Federation of Trade Union of Korea in different parts of the country planted trees of good species with utmost care around the mosaic murals showing the images of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il and in forests in their charge.

Officials from the Central Committee of the Union of Agricultural Workers of Korea planted over 2 000 trees and flowering shrubs including pine and pine-nut trees at the Mangyongdae Revolutionary Site and women’s union members across the country planted more than 200 000 trees in the Central Botanical Garden and forests in their charge.
