This event was held to commemorate the 101st International Children’s Day and the 45th National Arbor Day.

For this year’s event, a total of 500 tree saplings were planted in the area behind the power house, including rosewood, Fang daeng (Afzelia xylocarpa), khaen (Sindora siamensis), and kha nyung (Dalbergia cochinchinensis).

Additionally, 20,000 fish, including Pa Nuan Chan (Cirrhinus microlepis), Pa Ket Laep (Mystus mysticetus), Mekong giant catfish (Pa Beuk), common carp (Pa Nai), and Pa Pak, were released into the regulating pond downstream of the hydropower house.
