The management area contains 1,862 hectares of Scots pine seed production forests. It is one of the earliest designated natural Scots pine seed production bases in our province, distributed across 30 forest compartments and 54 sub-compartments. The average age of the trees is 41 years, with an average canopy density of 0.6 and an average site class of II. As a precious tree species, the Jinshan Forest Farm began seed collection from the Scots pine forests as early as 1957. In 1989, it was listed as a joint department-province natural Scots pine seed production base, producing over 500 kilograms of seeds annually. To date, it has supplied the country with 55,000 kilograms of high-quality seeds. This base was also designated as a national-level Scots pine seed orchard by the Ministry of Forestry and the Heilongjiang Provincial Forestry Department in 1990.
Jinshan Forest Park is located within the Jinshan Forest Farm, northwest of Huma County Town, covering more than 200,000 mu of natural Scots pine seed production forests. Evergreen all year round, it brings the joy of greenery to the long northern winters. This is the most distinctive belt of cold-temperate coniferous tree species—row upon row of trees standing tall, not flaunting their resilience in the face of danger but embodying simplicity and down-to-earth strength, as well as proud endurance forged through true harsh cold and snowstorms. The convincing willpower of these green pines truly moves the soul and conquers everything with their unyielding and profound majesty—here, the mountains compete in beauty, ancient trees tower into the sky, and rare birds and animals inhabit and thrive, showcasing the charm of pristine forests. Across the endless mountain ranges grow evergreen Scots pines, robust Dahurian larches, graceful birches, towering mountain poplars, Siberian firs, along with black birches, oaks, mountain elms, sky-piercing willows, and Mongolian oaks, totaling hundreds of species.
Visitors can not only enjoy the beautiful scenery of the green mountains, clear waters, and pristine forests here but also observe the various expressions of wild fauna and flora, immersing themselves in the embrace of nature. Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and it feels as if you are in a fairyland.
