This tree-planting program at An Nhon Tay is a part of the "1.5 Million Trees Plantation Project" started by Toshiba Groups
all over the world. During the tree-planting event, 500 trees will be planted at Sai Gon Safari Park in
An Nhon Tay - Cu Chi - Ho Chi Minh City. It is hoped that with the addition of 500 trees,
