The number of units that won the title of Socialist Patriotic Forest is on the steady increase in the DPRK.

The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un visited the Central Tree Nursery under the Ministry of Land and Environment Protection in November Juche 103 (2014) and stressed the need to conduct a dynamic mass movement such as the movement for winning the title of the socialist patriotic forest and the title of model county in afforestation in the whole society.

In hearty response to the patriotic appeal of Kim Jong Un, the people of the country have turned out as one in the socialist patriotic forest movement, a mass movement.

Since the publication of the decree of the Standing Committee of the Supreme People’s Assembly of the DPRK on conferring the title of socialist patriotic forest on exemplary units in January 2019, more than 1 930 units have been awarded the title across the country.

The title of Socialist Patriotic Forest was awarded to various units in January 2019 and the number of the units winning the title reached more than 300 by August 2020.

In 2021 alone, hundreds of units were awarded the title of Socialist Patriotic Forest and more than 330 units awarded the title in a little over a year since then.

Hundreds of units across the country have been awarded the title this year amid the enthusiasm of the masses who have turned out, true to the idea of the Sixth Plenary Meeting of the Eighth Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea.
