Phnom Penh: The Royal Government has decided to have the Ministry of Environment distribute free mixed saplings to citizens to plant in 2026 from July 10-13, 2026 in front of the Ministry of Environment Office in Phnom Penh for planting in homes, public places, temples, schools, and to replant community forests.
The Ministry of Environment’s tree distribution is organized through the “Green Sprouts” campaign, which responds to the “Pentagon Strategy – Phase 1” of the Royal Government of Cambodia, the 7th term of the National Assembly, and the “Environmental Sector Chakra Strategy”, especially the second pillar on “Greenness” to significantly increase the green cover in Cambodia and move towards a carbon neutral country by 2050.
At the same time, His Excellency President Hun Manet, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, has given clear instructions and direction to the Ministry of Environment to organize the “Green Sprout” campaign to plant and continue to distribute saplings to citizens for free every year.
Based on strong support in previous years, the Ministry of Environment has increased the number of sapling nurseries in the capital, provinces and departments of environment across the country and five regional nurseries in Kampong Speu, Koh Kong, Siem Reap, Tbong Khmum and Mondulkiri provinces, with the capacity to plant millions of saplings.
In 2026, the Ministry of Environment plans to distribute 5 million saplings, including 1.5 million palm saplings. For residents to plant during the rainy season with favorable rainfall to ensure that the planted trees have a high survival rate.
Please note that planting trees in the local area helps to keep the local area clean and green, absorbs greenhouse gases, purifies the air, and actively contributes to responding to global climate change and protecting biodiversity. For future generations. These trees will become natural forests that help maintain the balance of the ecosystem and help boost the local economy through the development of green leisure destinations.
