Forest area in Mai Son district expands 275.5 hectares

Last year, Mai Son district stepped up the communications work, promoting a campaign in which soldiers and people are resolved to cover bare land by forestation and growing multi-purpose scattered trees.

Residents in Mai Son district join planting scattered trees in Long Khoang hamlet, Hat Lot commune.

The district instructed towns and communes to grow 275.5 hectares of forest, and over 90,300 scattered trees in gardens and office campuses, on hills and along roads. Besides, 34,000 trees were planted to form the 172-km boundary between farming and forestry land. 

The trees planted are diverse in varieties and can grow quickly, such as canarium, lat hoa (scientifically known as Chukrasia velutina), cherry-like apricot, and doi (Michelia tonkinensis A. Chev.), contributing to expanding the forest area in the district to 56,000 hectares and raising its forest coverage rate to 38.91%.
