In 2025, Thu Dau Mot City plans to plant an additional 500,000 trees of various species and nurture 383,000 seedlings to meet the required number of trees needed for planting in 2026.
Additionally, the city is strengthening the care and preservation of plants in tree conservation areas, specialized gardens, schools, canals, ditches, and along dykes of the Saigon River. The city will also continue its efforts to plant trees in median strips, along sidewalks, and to enhance the tree coverage in existing parks and flower gardens throughout the city.
In recent times, Thu Dau Mot Urban Greening Campaign has been making a significant impact as it aims to create a "Green - Friendly City" from 2024 to 2030 and beyond. In 2024, the entire city undertook the planting and maintenance of trees in residential areas, parks, sidewalks, road dividers, public lands without specific use plans, and other public spaces. The initiative successfully planted over 600,000 trees of various types, exceeding the planned target by nearly 1,667%. The planting of seedlings also reached 105% of the target. Additionally, various sectors, organizations, and local communities collaborated to establish 34 thematic gardens, which include a total of 38,783 trees.
