In recent times, the Provincial Farmers' Association has regularly coordinated to organize propaganda activities on the roles and responsibilities of all levels of the association and farmer members in planting trees, protecting and developing forests; and providing technical guidance on planting and caring for trees to members.
Chairman of the Provincial Farmers' Association Tran Van Ben said: In the period of 2020 - 2023, on the basis of more than 2,700 seedlings including black star, green lim, flower lat, giang huong, go mat, xa nuong, and yellow Osaka that were supported, the Provincial Farmers' Association has allocated to the establishments to organize tree planting campaigns combined with the implementation of the movement "Saturday for the new countryside".
At the same time, the association requires households and units that benefit from the program to sign a commitment to plant and care for the trees to ensure they grow well and not be exploited. Thanks to that, up to now, the survival rate of trees at the planting sites has reached 80% - 90%.
“Depending on the conditions, each association has different ways of doing things such as building “Green - Clean - Beautiful Roads”, taking care of the roads; supporting members in gardening for livelihood trees... Planting trees together with caring, protecting, managing, and monitoring to ensure good plant growth has been unanimously responded to by farmer members, becoming a competitive movement for each association branch, each cadre, member, and farmer”, Mr. Ben informed.

In Cam Lo district, in recent years, the afforestation movement to green bare hills has been effectively implemented by the locality. On average, each year the whole district plants 1,650 hectares of concentrated forests and 150,000 scattered trees or more. The total area of planted forests in the district has increased to over 18,500 hectares, including more than 1,460 hectares of large timber forests and forests certified by FSC sustainable forests.
In particular, responding to the Program to plant 1 billion trees in the period of 2021 - 2025 launched by the Prime Minister, in 2022, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment coordinated with the People's Committee of Cam Lo district to connect with the Center for Natural Resources and Environment Communication, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment to organize the planting of 3 hectares with about 18,000 cinnamon trees in Cam Thuy commune.
At the same time, Cam Lo district and the Center for Natural Resources and Environment Communication signed the program "Green tree planting campaign - Ecosystem restoration" for the 5-year period 2022 - 2027, focusing on planting 5.6 million cinnamon trees and 4,100 shade trees in Cam Lo district with the goal of greening bare hills and mountains, planting protective forests, ensuring the environment, increasing forest cover, and combating climate change.
In order to concretize Decision No. 524/QD-TTg dated April 1, 2021 of the Prime Minister approving the project of planting one billion scattered trees in the period of 2021 - 2025, Directive No. 45/CT-TTg dated December 31, 2020 and the message of the Prime Minister "For a green Vietnam", in September 2021, the Provincial People's Committee issued the "Plan to implement the project of planting one billion trees in the period of 2021 - 2025 in Quang Tri province". The goal of the plan is that by the end of 2025, the whole province will plant over 15 million trees, of which 10.7 million scattered trees will be planted in urban areas, rural areas and 4.3 million trees will be concentrated in protective forests, special-use forests and production forests.

Vice Chairman of Cam Lo District People's Committee Tran Hoai Linh said that over the past 2 years, the district has launched a tree planting movement and received a very positive response from the people. Along with concentrated forest planting, Cam Lo District has directed agencies and units to develop specific plans for scattered tree planting at headquarters, cultural houses, traffic routes, etc.
The movement not only becomes a beautiful cultural tradition but also brings great socio-economic benefits to the locality; making the landscape increasingly green - clean - beautiful, enhancing protection capacity, protecting water resources, mitigating natural disasters, improving the living environment, regulating the climate... Also from these movements, in the district, many bright examples, models and methods of tree planting have appeared that have been commended and recognized.
Make tree planting a regular task
According to Deputy Director of the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development Phan Van Phuoc, in order to realize the goals set out in the project implementation plan, in recent years, the Provincial People's Committee has directed departments, branches and localities to effectively implement the activity "Tet tree planting to forever remember Uncle Ho" and implement the project of planting one billion green trees according to the Prime Minister's decision. The implementation of the project creates an emulation movement to call on and mobilize all people to participate in tree planting and afforestation, becoming a regular, continuous and effective activity in the whole society.
At the same time, the province also strives to mobilize many resources, especially from socialized resources, typically the Journey of One Billion Trees in supporting seedlings for afforestation. This movement has created a positive response, making tree planting a regular task for all levels, sectors, socio-political organizations and all people. As a result, in the period of 2021 - 2023, the whole province has mobilized more than 200 billion VND to plant about 15 million trees.

According to the plan, in the period of 2024 - 2025, the whole province is expected to continue planting about 6.2 million trees of all kinds. Including concentrated forest planting of about 920 hectares, equivalent to 1.72 million trees and planting nearly 4.5 million scattered trees.
Mr. Phuoc said that to complete this goal, the agricultural sector actively coordinates with departments, branches, localities, and socio-political organizations to expand the mobilization of social resources for implementation. The Department of Agriculture and Rural Development closely coordinates in implementing the registration of green tree needs according to the annual plan, in which it is noted that the registration target must be accompanied by a specific tree planting area.
Organize the delivery, distribution, care and planting of trees to ensure the correct progress, season, quantity and quality. Assign and delegate responsibilities to agencies under management and localities in the management of trees in the area.
At the same time, the unit will coordinate with the Department of Education and Training in disseminating to the younger generation about the role of trees to raise public awareness of the effects and values of forests, and the significance of planting trees and afforestation.
