Grass to fix the sand green bank

Changwu County also continues to explore a new path for desertification control, adopts the form of "photovoltaic + sand control" according to local conditions, and promotes energy conservation and consumption reduction while controlling sandy land through the way of "on-board power generation, under-board restoration, and inter-board planting", so as to achieve the organic unity of ecological and economic benefits.

In addition to using water to make sand become wetland, Zhangwu County also uses grass to fix sand, trees to block sand and other projects to make sand become forest sea.

In Beidianzi village, Altun Township, a three-meter-tall Yuanbao maple stands on a dune covered with green grass and shrubs. "There used to be a saying: 'One bowl of rice, half a bowl of sand, five steps, no father or mother.'" Bai Xiaohua, Party secretary of Beidianzi Village, said: "Before, the village was surrounded by moving sand dunes, and villagers would often get lost when they went out. This big maple tree is the beacon that points the way."

After several generations of efforts, today, standing next to the trees, rows of tall and straight camphor pines, poplar trees and bushes spread out to both sides, like a dense and thick green Great Wall, firmly locking the Horqin sand in front of you.

At the same time, Changwu County through the development of seedling industry, planting carbon neutral forest and other ways to increase income for the people, the forest and grass resources into a "green bank".
