(QNO) – For over a decade, forest areas lost to hydropower projects and construction works for land-use conversion have been replaced with native tree plantations. These trees are now growing well, contributing to an increase in forest cover across the province.
In Nam Giang district, more than 268 hectares of protective forest cleared for hydropower construction have been restored with native, multi-purpose trees such as lim xanh (Erythrophleum fordii), lat hoa (Chukrasia tabularis), and sao den (Hopea odorata).
These trees are growing well, with survival rates above 75%, under a reforestation plan that includes one year of planting followed by several years of care and protection.
Many have now reached heights of over 4 meters, forming dense canopies that resist storms, floods, and erosion, while supporting biodiversity and climate resilience.
At Song Thanh National Park, over 400 hectares have been reforested since 2016. Many trees are now over 4 meters tall, offering resilience against storms and landslides, and helping improve biodiversity and climate adaptation.
In Tay Giang, seedlings for reforesting barren hillsides are mainly sourced from native, climate-resilient species. These young trees help green degraded lands, restore ecosystems, and improve soil and water retention in upland areas.
By 2024, nearly 90.5 hectares of reforested land have been added across Quang Nam, with all funding used according to approved plans.
