The Lam Dong Province People’s Committee and property company Novaland Group on Friday began a programme to grow 50 million trees in the Central Highlands province in 2021-25.

The programme, for which the company has donated VND11 billion (over US$470,000), is in response to the call given by the Prime Minister earlier this month to plant one billion trees.

It is also part of Novaland’s ‘Green Up Viet Nam – Millions trees for a bright life’ programme, implemented by the company and its partners, customers and staff.

The company has donated billions of dong to support healthcare, education and community development programmes.

It said it would continue with the tree-planting programme in other provinces like Binh Thuan and Ba Ria-Vung Tau.

Novaland is a giant developer with many housing projects in HCM City and hospitality projects in tourist destinations like Ba Ria-Vung Tau and Binh Thuan. — VNS
