Sources: 8. Developments: 2. Environmental initiatives in Vietnam have transitioned from local community cleanup and beautification efforts to large-scale reforestation and commercial tree nursery development. Initial activities focused on community-led campaigns, such as waste collection and landscape improvement in Lam Dong province, and cleaning efforts in Cao Bang to prepare for National Day. These efforts included planting over 600 trees along main roads and maintaining border patrol routes. Subsequent developments show a shift toward economic and ecological sustainability. In Ngoc Quan Village, tree nursery cultivation has emerged as a highly profitable industry, with some households generating billions of VND annually. Concurrently, formal reforestation programs have launched, such as the ‘1 Billion Green - Each Green Tree, One Commitment’ initiative at Cu Lao Cham island, which aims to plant at least 25,000 trees by 2030 to restore habitats and conserve biodiversity. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-11: Vietnam sees growth in tree nurseries and new reforestation efforts Vietnam sees economic growth through tree nursery farming in Ngoc Quan Village, while a new reforestation program begins at Cu Lao Cham to plant 25,000 trees by 2030. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/vietnam-sees-growth-in-tree-nurseries-and-new-reforestation-efforts ### 2026-08-28: Vietnamese communities launch environmental cleanup and beautification campaigns Communities in Lam Dong and Cao Bằng, Vietnam, are organizing tree planting, waste collection, and landscape beautification campaigns to celebrate National Day and improve local environments. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/vietnamese-communities-launch-environmental-cleanup-and-beautification-campaigns --- Cite as: Environmental and reforestation initiatives in Vietnam.
