Delegates and youth union members participated in a tree-planting campaign at the historical site of the District Party Committee's base (Tram Doi).

In Dong Thap , the tree planting movement has become a meaningful activity, spreading widely among officials, union members, youth, and all segments of the population; thereby contributing to the development of urban green spaces, tree planting, ecosystem restoration, and the construction of green, clean, and beautiful new rural areas.
