CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- The "greening mountains and enriching people" activity themed "creating a green homeland and building prosperous new towns" kicked off on March 24 at Qianjiang main venue and other 39 venues in Chongqing, attracting more than 100,000 participants. A total of more than 250,000 trees were planted during the activity, covering an area of more than 5,000 mu.
In 2012, Chongqing is to financially support waste mountains afforestation at 300 yuan/mu. Waste mountains and land in Chongqing mainly consist of mountain areas, stony desertification areas, etc., and are difficult to plant trees on. The subsidy is raised from 50 yuan/mu to 300 yuan/mu in an effort to boost the waste mountains afforestation, and to finish the task in time or even in advance.
