A group of high school students on Tuesday carried out a reforestation campaign to plant 1,000 trees in Dakrong Nature Reserve in Quang Tri Province, north-central Vietnam.

The four students attending Le Quy Don High School in Quang Tri’s Dong Ha City sowed a total of 1,000 saplings of breeds native to Dakrong Nature Reserve within one day, the provincial chapter of the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union confirmed on the same day.

The initiative, ‘Green Era,’ began in August and raised over VND120 million (US$4,884), all of which was spent purchasing the 1,000 saplings.

After planting trees on one hectare of land in Dakrong Nature Reserve, the group plans to initiate another round of fundraising to extend reforestation efforts to a different area.

Ha Si Dong, permanent deputy chairman of the People’s Committee of Quang Tri Province, hailed ‘Green Era’ as a meaningful, practical, and responsible campaign.

“This project prompts considerable contemplation among adults,” Dong said.
