this is the site where we'll be planting the saplings on sunday :: grassy hill, shing mun country park, tsuen wan, this is a popular place for family hikes. it's fairly rocky and barren as it had been destroyed by hill fires. so we'll be planting trees that have a high water retention, which acts as a fire resistant barrier!
there will be 8-12 different tree species, native and exotic breeds to encourage biodiversity and they have been selected to suit our local environment.
and the rhaphiolepis indica.
friends of the earth hk are doing a fantastic job and will be committing to annual aftercare for 3 year to weed and fertilise the plants and make sure they are surviving!
as mentioned in the other post, we have to createour own carrying gear, here are a few ideas from
previous years...will keep you posted on how things go :)
