Other Specified Use (OU) is probably a new magic trick. Its bracket behind would inadvertently conjure up many possibilities and elaborations. In the previous consultations on Frontier Closed Area (FCA) and North East New Territories New Development Areas, OU demonstrated its super magic power by transforming Hoo Hok Wai (HHW) and Long Valley (LV) into an area catering not only for wetland but also low density development. However, would you be deceived......(more) |

Walk for the
Environment 2010
“Walk for the
environment” is the core fund-raising activity of CA every year.
From the 70’s to now, the Walk aims to raise fund for CA’s
environmental education projects, and meanwhile provide an
opportunity for the public to get closer to the nature and be more
aware of environmental protection. This year the Walk will be held on
11th
April, with starting point at Tung Chung and ending point at Mui Wo.
Along the route will be a series of “Information Checkpoints”, where
guides will present to the participants the ecological and
historical highlights. All participants can experience a genuine
“green journey”. |

There are
now 506 registered “Old and Valuable Trees” (OVTs) in Hong Kong.
In comparing with other trees, OVTs are treated in a very
different manner. Apart from having tree assessments at least twice a
year, they are closely monitored by staff and volunteers.
Theoretically they should be strong, healthy and long-living.
However back in 2007, there were 527 OVTs registered. An obvious
drop is observed when compared with the current figure. Did the tree
management go wrong, or are the OVTs reaching their limits......(more) |
