Tree-planting activities across China

A series of tree-planting activities were held across China as the country marked its 47th Tree-Planting Day, on Wednesday, with the aim of improving plant coverage and combating soil erosion and desertification.

The Tree-Planting Day is a time to embrace nature and sow hope for a greener future, and tree-planting activities were in full swing along the banks of the Yangtze River that runs through Jingzhou City. Over 500 trees have been planted during the event. 

This initiative will continue beyond the Tree-Planting Day, with an annual goal of planting trees across an area of approximately 2,000 hectares along the riverbank.
