The Acacia Plantation Improvement Demonstration Project was launched in 2024 with the participation of five households, covering an area of 21 hectares. Woodsland provides comprehensive support, including high-quality acacia seedlings, fertilizers, technical guidance on afforestation, and the transfer of new technologies.
