The initiative was introduced during a ceremony held on May 8 as part of Acecook Happiness Concert 2026.

The project will plant native tree species, including Trẩu, along with bồ kết, bồ hòn, xoan nhừ, giổi, lát hoa and huỷnh, selected to suit the ecological conditions of the western mountainous region of Quảng Trị.

In addition to environmental benefits, several of the selected species are noted to have economic potential, which may help create more stable income for local residents in the future and strengthen livelihoods linked to sustainable forest protection.
