Since the beginning of the year, an additional 8,380 hectares have received certification, bringing the total certified forest area in the province to over 29,900 hectares.

Forest rangers from the Son Dong inter-communal unit guide local residents in monitoring the growth of large-timber forests.

Among the newly certified areas, the Duong Linh household group, monitored and managed by the Son Dong inter-communal forest ranger unit, accounted for more than 4,170 hectares across communes including Dai Son, Son Dong, Tay Yen Tu, Duong Huu, Yen Dinh, An Lac, Van Son and Tuan Dao.

Meanwhile, the Smartwood household group, under the supervision of the Chu–Luc Ngan inter-communal forest ranger unit, was granted certification for more than 4,210 hectares spanning wards and communes such as Chu, Phuong Son, Nam Duong, Kien Lao, Bien Dong, Luc Ngan, Deo Gia, Son Hai, Tan Son, Bien Son and Sa Ly.

The results reflect the province’s strengthened efforts in promoting and guiding forest owners and household groups to strictly follow sustainable forest management standards.

Authorities have also enhanced coordination between forest rangers and local administrations to review and update forest records and complete certification procedures.

Participating household groups have proactively developed long-term forest management plans, implemented harvesting in line with approved schedules, carried out reforestation in compliance with regulations, and placed greater emphasis on environmental protection and biodiversity conservation.

Bac Ninh currently has about 174,690 hectares of forest and non-forested land designated for forestry, with total timber reserves exceeding 14.78 million cubic meters. Of this, natural forests account for more than 4.76 million cubic meters, while planted forests make up over 10 million cubic meters.

The certification of sustainable forest management is seen as a key step in improving forest protection and development efficiency, while promoting a more modern and environmentally responsible forestry sector.
