100,000 trees to be planted in Bac Kan

The program is implemented by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (MNRE) in coordination with the Bac Kan province People’s Committee and the Vietnam Dairy Products JSC (Vinamilk) in the aim of cleaning up the environment and counteract the causes and consequences of natural disasters in northern mountainous provinces.

The “One million green trees for Vietnam” fund has been in operation since 2012, calling on the public to plant more trees across the country. It has been held in more than 20 provinces and cities nationwide, drawing the participation of more than 10,000 local and youth volunteers.

Earlier  on May 2, the MNRE and Vinamilk planted nearly 100,000 trees worth VND900 million at the national trig point GPS 0001 and at coastal areas in Dat Mui commune, Ngoc Hien and Cai Nuoc districts in the southernmost province of Ca Mau as part of the efforts to deal with drought and saltwater intrusion in the locality.
