The city planted more than 6,500 hectares of forest, added approximately one million scattered trees, and produced around 18 million seedlings for reforestation. Timber output reached about 600,000 cubic meters. The city now has over 14,000 hectares of large-timber plantations and over 15,000 hectares of forest certified for sustainable management.

Amid Hue’s drive to develop as a heritage, cultural, ecological, and landscape-oriented city that is environmentally friendly, tree planting and reforestation not only protect ecosystems and respond to climate change but also create vital resources for economic growth. These efforts expand opportunities for eco-tourism, the forest economy, and the carbon economy, contributing to the realization of double-digit economic growth aligned with sustainable development.
The tree-planting activity at Thuy Tien Lake Park was held with an aim to not only expand urban green space but also gradually shape an ecological area and a destination for tourism, recreation, and leisure, transforming natural potential into tangible economic value and directly contributing to the city’s growth in the new phase.
Based on that spirit, Hue City leaders call on all levels, sectors, localities, and the entire population to actively respond to tree-planting and forest-growing movements; every person plants trees, every household plants trees; all people raise their awareness and responsibility in forest management and protection, preserve natural resources, and join hands to build Hue into a green heritage city that develops rapidly and sustainably.
Immediately after the launching ceremony, Hue City leaders, together with officials, soldiers, and the public took part in tree planting on the grounds of Thuy Tien Lake Park, kicking off the 2026 tree-planting and afforestation campaign across the entire area.
