It is necessary to grow not only trees that can contribute to the economy but also Thitseint (Belleric myrobalan), rubber, cashew and mango trees. Planting trees every year is leaving valu- able heritage for posterity. Therefore, we would like to call on the tree-loving national people to preserve forests and grow trees every year to keep our natural environment balanced.
