Nghe An: Close-up of dozens of half-century-old trees shading the village school
(Baonghean.vn) - Dozens of ancient mahogany trees and royal poinciana trees, 40 to 50 years old, not only provide shade, but are also considered "green lungs" for schools in the hot and windy Lao region of Nghe An.

| In the hot summer, after each class, the old trees are where students often meet to discuss lessons or play. Photo: Duc Anh |
 |
| To keep the trees green and not fall down, the school has to hire a tree care company every year. Branches that show signs of rotting and being eaten by worms are carefully checked before being cut to ensure the safety of students when the rainy season comes. Photo: Duc Anh |
 |
| Not only does Nguyen Van Troi Secondary School (Do Luong) have many ancient trees, but the campus of Nam Dan 2 High School also has many rows of shady trees. Photo: Duc Anh |
 |
| The highlight of this school is the nearly 10-year-old royal poinciana tree, which blooms bright red throughout the summer. Photo: Duc Anh |
 |
| To ensure the safety of students as well as for the trees to grow well, in 2018 the school installed iron pillars to protect the trees. Photo: Duc Anh |

 |
| Thanks to careful care, every summer the royal poinciana trees here are green and bloom with clusters of bright red flowers. Photo: Duc Anh |

| Recently, the Nghe An Department of Education and Training requested schools to review and consider carefully before pruning and cutting trees. On the one hand, cutting down rotten trees is to ensure the safety of students, but it must still ensure shade and maintain green campuses in schools. In addition, schools also need to have plans to protect trees, considering this one of the regular tasks during the school year. Photo: Duc Anh |
