Panoramic view of 458ha Xuan Son protective forest

Xuan Son Protective Forest (Xuan Son Commune, Ho Chi Minh City) is a forest planted under the program of reforesting bare land, bare hills and reforestation. This is one of the most intact planted forests in Ho Chi Minh City thanks to strict and effective protection work.

The forest has a total area of ​​458 hectares, planted by Chau Thanh Forestry Enterprise (formerly) from 1981-1983 on many vacant lands and bare hills. At that time, the forest planting work encountered many difficulties, the workers had to clear bushes, weeds, grow seedlings, and mobilize people to hand over land for forest planting. After many years of hard work in planting and caring for new trees, Xuan Son forest is now green and lush, performing the function of a protective forest and creating an environmental landscape.

Xuan Son forest is a low hill forest, has convenient traffic routes in and out of the forest, is adjacent to agricultural land and surrounded by residential areas, so forest protection work is always taken seriously.
