Jangjin County in South Hamgyong Province is situated in the highlands of over 1 000 metres above sea level, and forests account for 90 percent of its area. These forests are thick with larch, Abies nephrolepis , spruce and other tall trees.
And there is the Jangjin Lumber Station with a history of over seventy years, which is responsible for timber production, and also afforestation and conservation.
It has five substations based in Memul, Kaljon, Paegam and other alpine regions.
They carry out logging mainly in winter periods, and transport the felled trees to certain destinations and pile them up there. In spring the cut-over areas are cleared to plant new trees.
Each substation has a nursery for growing several species of trees suitable for alpine areas.
With a high awareness of being masters in expanding the forest resources, lumbermen plant ten trees after cutting one and devote their all to the cultivation of the trees.
The lumber station is actively employing profitable methods in transporting trees. The felled trees are transported by railway, truck and also raft.
The water-transportation substation conducts the lumber transportation by floating the rafts on Lake Jangjin in the central part of the county and adjacent streams and rivers. To this end, it is maintaining machines and facilities in good order and introducing efficient rafting methods.
The rafts floating down Lake Jangjin after the spring thaw add another spectacular scene to the area.
