Community networks and a private landscape company have petitioned Lampang's governor to modify a ฿19km highway expansion contract (Route 106, Ban Hong-Li) from tree-felling to tree-relocation for ~1,000–2,000 century-old trees. The private sector is offering to fund excavation and transplantation at no state cost, planting trees in community forests and temples. This highlights tension between infrastructure development and environmental conservation, with stakeholders arguing the relocation model aligns better with Thailand's green-space expansion policy.
