land this year. Some kinds of trees are selected for afforestation through

has strengthened communications work to provide locals with information on the
role, effect, meaning and economic efficiency of afforestation for the
environment and life.
Shortly after the completion of forest exploitation in 2019, forest rangers
guided people to clear vegetation. The district’s Division of Agriculture and
Rural Development also guided communes and towns to register afforestation area
so that the district mapped out a plan on saplings to serve the work when conditions
are favourable.
Besides, the district has provided training on planting techniques with the
application of science and technology for farmers.
After the Lunar New Year, afforestation took place throughout the district with
the launch of tree-planting festival. The movement received warm response from
officials, staff and locals in the locality. On the occasion, the district

100 ha of forest. The district targets to complete the 2020 forestation plan by
