The district covers one end of the Giresun Mountains, including part of the valley of the Yağlıdere stream. When the mountain streams that feed the Yağlıdere are in full flood, they can become a threat to the district. Yağlıdere is an agricultural district. The hillsides are planted with hazelnuts, fruit trees, chestnuts, and other deciduous trees. Some tea and corn are grown, and animals graze on the higher slopes.
