Following President Ho Chi Minh's teachings, Son La province always identifies tree planting as an important task, closely linked to its comprehensive development process not only for today’s but also for future generations. Therefore, at the beginning of each new spring, officials, Party members, civil servants, public employees and people of all ethnic groups in the province join hands in tree planting and afforestation. Localities and units have actively responded to the movement, making it a beautiful cultural feature bringing about great benefits in many aspects.

The campaign is expected to contribute to the comprehensive and sustainable development of Son La province and Son La city in particular, and the successful implementation of the programme of planting one billion trees in the 2021 - 2025 period as launched by the Prime Minister.
