Over the mountains to the east of Samgun Village, in North Kyongsang Province, in the particularly ill-circumstanced village of Pyonghae, village leader Kim Ju Shik sought in vain to reforest surrounding hillsides through local investment and effort until a typhoon struck and left washed-away homes and rock-inundated fields behind it; in disaster's aftermath, the village rallied behind Kim and in two years 41 hectares of hillsides were covered with thriving big-cone pines that will soon bring a forest-products harvest of several hundred million won, as well as physical protection, to Samgun.
