Issued on the intention of innovating systems and mechanisms to promote large-scale land greening

The General Office of the Provincial Government issued the opinions on innovating Systems and mechanisms to promote large-scale Land Greening, proposing that by 2030, all 11 districts and cities will be built into national forest cities. the forest coverage rates in mountainous, hilly, Bashang and plain areas of the province are more than 50%, 30%, 20% and 12% respectively, the greening coverage rate of urban areas is more than 35%, and that of villages is more than 30%. The forest coverage rate of the province has reached and maintained at more than 36%, and all cities and counties have been built into provincial garden cities (county seats).

It is suggested that Hebei Province will deepen the reform of the collective forest right system, carry out the registration of real estate of forest rights, implement the ownership of collective forest land, protect farmers' right to contract, activate the right of forest land management, and exercise the functions and powers such as the transfer of management rights and investment into shares in accordance with the law. we will speed up the standardized and orderly transfer of collective forest rights and expand the scale of afforestation land.

According to the demand of land greening, the important functional areas of water conservation can strengthen the adjustment of the planting structure of cultivated land, secondary cultivated land and sloping land, plant water-saving and drought-tolerant native tree species, and give full play to the function of water conservation. In Zhangjiakou and Chengde areas, sloping farmland of more than 15 degrees and desertified farmland without irrigation conditions and serious damage caused by wind and sand can be included in the scope of returning farmland to forest and grassland.

Deepen the reform of "management and service", improve the efficiency of administrative examination and approval, and support returning migrant workers, ex-servicemen, college graduates and individual industrial and commercial households to set up family forest farms, professional cooperatives and joint-stock cooperatives; attract industrial and commercial capital from state-owned and private enterprises to establish specialized ecological protection and restoration enterprises Support state-owned forest farms to rely on technological advantages, transfer surrounding collective forest land and unused land in accordance with the law, participate in local afforestation and greening, and expand the scale of forest farms.

We will support new afforestation bodies such as family forest farms, cooperatives and enterprises to contract barren mountains and wasteland and desertified land to carry out afforestation. Those who meet the new afforestation quality standards shall be subsidized in accordance with the current afforestation subsidy standards or rewarded and subsidized by the local government in accordance with the corresponding project subsidy standards.

Expand the scope of compensation for public welfare forests. Newly built shelterbelts by individuals, enterprises, cooperatives and other social subjects shall be included in the compensation scope of public welfare forests in stages in accordance with the policies after passing the acceptance check by the forestry department. We will explore gradually bringing green passage forest belts such as national highways, provincial highways, highways and high-speed railways into the scope of ecological public welfare forest compensation.

Governments at all levels include afforestation investment in the annual budget and gradually increase the scale of funds, which can be integrated with the subsidy funds for afforestation projects at higher levels. We will increase financial support for key afforestation projects and speed up the adoption of the form of "replacing compensation with awards" and "building first and then replenishing" under the condition that the use remains unchanged. Priority subsidies will be given to modern forestry demonstration parks, forest ecological complexes, forestry leading enterprises, forest farmers' cooperatives, afforestation large households, and so on.

Popularize and apply the ppp financing model to pry and attract all kinds of capital from state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, foreign enterprises, collectives, individuals and social organizations into the construction of key forestry ecological projects. Individuals, enterprises, units and foreign businessmen are encouraged to donate funds for afforestation, and individuals with donations of more than 1 million yuan and enterprises, units and foreign businessmen with donations of more than 5 million yuan may be granted the right to name green spaces and trees.

Financial institutions are encouraged to develop financial products that meet the needs of afforestation and greening, gradually expand the business scale of mortgage loans for collective forest rights, explore market-oriented pledge guarantee loans for forestry management income rights and public welfare forest compensation beneficial rights, increase credit support, and support the development of forest rights collection and storage guarantee among forestry management entities.

According to the opinion, Hebei Province will give a certain amount of financial awards to cities and counties that have made outstanding achievements in afforestation; advanced individuals with outstanding achievements can be awarded Hebei Province greening medals and corresponding material awards; and the main body of the afforestation market with outstanding achievements will be given a certain amount of financial subsidy. The establishment of national model greening units (cities and counties), national forest cities, ecological garden cities, garden cities and forest coverage indicators will be listed as the key work of the province to ensure that by 2020, the number of national garden cities (county towns) has reached about 50.
