Since 2011, the Da Nang Department of Construction has been implementing an urban tree planting project to make Da Nang an environmental city.

In particular, the green coverage on Ngu Hanh Son District’s My An Ward had reached up to 50% of the project’s target by early 2013.  The Department issued Dispatch No 461 on 5 February 2013 to encourage local residents to spend their own money on planting trees in their residential areas.  Under the department’s guidelines, locals are required to select plant species that are suitable for local urban planning and management.

Thanks to the great efforts of the local residents , the green coverage in My An Ward has so far risen to 80% of the city’s target. 

Locals have been encouraged to grow more trees to improve the beauty of the city’s urban landscape, and to select plant species in accordance with the city’s regulations.
