This article demonstrates how the use of contract responsibility systems in a Chinese province resulted in successful afforestation. During the spring afforestation drive, 179 million trees were planted, fulfilling 89.6% of the annual plan. The province released 800,000 mu of mountain land for private use and contracted 1.76 million mu of mountain land. The number of specialized forestry households and key households has reached 63,000. Responsibility systems have been adopted for the management, protection and afforestation of most of the forests on the plains. Many technical forest cadres have signed joint production contracts with production units directly to promote technical development, improve forest quality and speed up the greening of the environment.
