HARBIN, China, April 21, 2023 /Xinhua=KYODO JBN/--

A large scale tree-planting event has been launched on April 20th by Longjiang

Forest Industry Group in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, with 23

affiliated companies all joining the campaign to build a "Green Longjiang".

54,156 participants, including CPC members, staff and employees of the forest

industry group as well as people living and working in the forest areas, have

planted 522,100 trees in the forest industry operation area, covering 6,585,700

hectares.

The effort is considered a vivid practice by the Party Committee of Longjiang

Forest Industry Group to the ecological construction and protection in northern

China. It was inspired by the concepts of "Beautiful China" and "Two Mountains"

that means clear waters and green mountains are as good as mountains of gold

and silver.

At the tree planting base located in Weihe Forestry Bureau, Zhang Xiaobo,

member of the Party Committee and deputy general manager of Longjiang Forest

Industry Group, said the activity should be taken as an opportunity to mobilize

more forestry workers to participate in the voluntary afforestation.

"Everyone should be a practitioner and promoter of ecological civilization

construction, to help transform the ecological advantages of forest industry

into development advantages, to create more ecological, social and economic

value, and strive to build a new modern forest industry with greener mountains,

clearer water and more beautiful homes," he said.
