Quang Binh Province sets the target of planting 8,000 hectares of concentrated forests, including 1,000 hectares of large timber forests in 2022.
In 2021, the forest rangers of Quang Binh Province gradually overcame difficulties and challenges to successfully fulfill their assigned tasks.
During the year, the unit strengthened propaganda on forest protection, development, fire prevention and fighting while providing technical training on planting large timber forests and converting small timber forests into large ones. As a result, the awareness of local authorities and people in the area about forest protection and development has positively changed.
