Greening is gaining advantages, planting trees is planting the future. In 2024, the ecological construction of Green and Beautiful Guangdong will be fully promoted, and the province will complete the optimization and improvement of forest stands by 2.1591 million mu and forest nurturing by 2.0744 million mu, exceeding the target of precise improvement of forest quality. Forests are becoming the beautiful background of the beautiful mountains and rivers in southern Guangdong. Concentrated and contiguous improvement of forest quality. Based on the advantages of mangrove forests, Zhanjiang actively builds coastal protective forests; Guangzhou adapts to local conditions and applies drones to the entire process of mountain afforestation; Shaoguan actively promotes the signing of the annual afforestation "one package for three years" management and protection agreement, fully implementing management and protection responsibilities; Zhaoqing focuses on the construction of large patches and continues to promote the optimization and improvement of forest stands... 2024 is the second year of deepening the ecological construction of green and beautiful Guangdong. Various regions in the province continue to promote the optimization of forest stands and the improvement of forest appearance, constantly adjusting and optimizing tree species and forest structure. In the process of afforestation, we will strengthen centralized contiguous areas, focus on the construction of large patches, and carefully plan and promote the precise improvement of forest quality within patches; At the same time, we also target the shortcomings and weaknesses of forest resources, transform low-quality and inefficient pine forests, as well as pine forests affected by pine wilt disease, and cultivate high-quality forest resources. It is reported that since 2024, Guangdong has used new methods such as drones and remote sensing satellites to concentrate on contiguous afforestation, creating 208 patches of over 1000 acres, 334 patches of 500-1000 acres, and 390 patches of 300-500 acres. 242400 acres of pure pine forests and 179400 acres of pure eucalyptus forests affected by pine wilt disease have been transformed, and the proportion of mixed forests has steadily increased. Forest resource management continues to improve. Vigorously promoting the planting of precious local tree species has entered a hill in Qianjing Village, Dungang Town, Shixing County, where saplings such as camphor trees, magnolias, osmanthus flowers, and bayberries grow. In the 2024 New Year tree planting activity, thousands of cadres and masses planted 16300 local broad-leaved tree species here. This is also a microcosm of the province's scientific promotion of afforestation and greening. In 2024, Guangdong will prioritize afforestation, forest nurturing, and closure for afforestation, with 1.6061 million acres of new afforestation nurturing and an increase of 2.0744 million acres of forest nurturing, effectively promoting the increase of forest resources, ecological efficiency, and landscape enhancement. In terms of seedling selection, we vigorously promote the planting of precious local tree species, with 81.59 million local tree species planted, including more than 28.5 million precious tree species such as red cone, fire burning South, black wood Acacia, Min Nan, Mi Lao Pai, Zhen Nan, Ge Mu, Tie Dao Mu, Ren Dou, Xiang Zhang, Hui Mu Lian, Nan Suanzhou jujube, and soil agarwood. The precise improvement of forest quality is the top priority of the six major actions, and improving forest quality should be regarded as the greatest increment of development The relevant person in charge of Guangdong Forestry Bureau stated. Next, Guangdong will continue to focus on the precise improvement of forest quality, systematically plan the promotion of urban-rural integrated green beauty, forest classification and policy management, optimize forest stand structure, and improve forest appearance. By 2025, the province plans to achieve a precise improvement of forest quality by 4 million acres, optimize forest stands by 2 million acres by the end of May, and cultivate 2 million acres of forests by the end of September.
