Planting bamboo is low cost, easy to do, and is an effective solution to protect agricultural land, traffic works, and irrigation works.

Through this movement, we will propagate, encourage and motivate cadres, members and people to actively promote the movement of planting trees, caring for and protecting resources; promote the tradition and cultural beauty of the nation on the Tree Planting Festival to forever remember Uncle Ho; contribute to mitigating natural disasters and global climate change.
