FORRU collaborates annually with RIF, national parks, and schools to organize planting activities in degraded forest areas. These activities are held at the beginning of the rainy season. FORRU uses the framework species method to restore degraded forests and takes care of the seedlings for an additional two years after planting.

This year, FORRU has chosen Ban Pong Yeang Nork, Mae Rim District, Chiang Mai for restoration using native tree species found in the natural forest and produced by the FORRU community nursery, which is maintained by local villagers. The plot was restored this year in Ban Pong Yeang Nork, supported by SIG Combibloc Ltd. and coordinated by the Rajapruek Institute Foundation  (RIF).

The planting event on this year divided into 3 days.
