Currently, localities are actively directing people to carry out the process of treating the ground cover and digging holes to plant spring forests on schedule.

Mr. Nguyen Hong Lam - Head of Forest Use and Development Department (Forestry Sub-Department) said: In 2019, there was a decrease of over 1,000 hectares of planted forests compared to previous years, the reason being that the bare land area was still small, most people planted acacia trees immediately after harvesting. This year, the whole province planted over 500 hectares of large timber forests, mainly hybrid acacia trees planted in Nghia Dan district.

In the districts, people grow scattered trees and acacia to serve the processing industry.

Regarding policy mechanisms, people mainly invest their own capital to plant raw material forests, some districts proactively support tree varieties for people.
