[Reporter Chen Guanbei/Changhua Report] There are many acacia trees on the Qingshuiyan Trail in Shetou Township, Changhua County, because they blocked the road and were sprayed with square red paint. Some mountain climbers were worried, and only 12 large trees were removed a few days ago, but not long after that, there were trees again It was painted, and these trees did not obstruct the traffic, and they were already the scenery of the hiking trails. I wonder why they were removed?

In this regard, the Nantou Forest District Management Office stated that if the trees are dead or tilted, the spray paint marks will be removed, but there is no plan to remove the dead trees in the near future.

Shetou Qingshuiyan is located in the Bagua Mountains. There are many trails and ancient trails connecting the Nantou Mountains. It is a good place for local people to climb mountains and ride bicycles. At that time, I found that there were 12 trees that were dead or tilted and endangered the safety of tourists. They were first sprayed with paint to mark them and felled at the end of September. The 20-centimeter-long square red paint has aroused discussion among mountain climbers.

People surnamed Xiao pointed out on the Facebook "Shetouren Club", "Acacia trees numbered 1-12 have been removed from the Evergreen Trail this year, and now the construction unit has begun to mark red marks again, and these marked trees will be removed every June. It is full of small yellow flowers, fascinating, and now we can only worry about their future", and some people say that "the human body joints are very flexible, you will not hit the tree or trip over the roots when you take a step or lower your head, and you often climb mountains. Grandpa Tree and Grandma are very familiar with these trees, and it would be a pity if they suddenly disappeared.” etc.

However, some people also said that when they were young, there were big trees blocking the door, and the elders would spray red paint as a warning to avoid hitting their heads. However, these trees that were sprayed with square red paint grew in the middle of the trail. Perhaps some enthusiastic people sprayed red paint to remind them. Notice.

The Nantou Forest Management Office stated that after investigation, the trail trees were sprayed with red paint, which is different from the painting location and marking method of the 12 trees removed recently, and there is no plan to remove dead trees in the near future. It should be done by the public, but the paint The behavior has not violated the relevant laws and regulations. We will advise on this and call on the public not to spray paint on the trees or do other harm to the trees.
