[Reporter Lu Xianxiu/Keelung Report] Keelung City currently has a total of 53 old trees under management. The Industrial Development Office of the city government conducts health checks on old trees every year to reduce the risk of diseases and insect pests. Strengthen the inspection and care of old trees.

A few days ago, an arborist was invited to Wudu Elementary School to use cutting-edge technology "LiDAR laser scanning" to measure old trees, making the children happy to attend a forestry education course.

In order to protect old trees and precious trees, Keelung City promulgated the Autonomous Regulations on the Protection of Old Trees and Precious Trees in 2009. It originally listed more than 60 old trees, each with a number. The jackfruit planted by myself is more than 70 years old. It is a precious old tree under management. There is a monument of "Hu Shi's Hand Planting" next to the tree, which is also Hu Shi's calligraphy.

Due to the self-government of old trees for more than 10 years, the Fisheries and Agriculture Management Section of the Industrial Development Division began to carry out the census of protected trees year by year last year. It has completed the census of Zhongzheng, Renai, Xinyi and Qidu districts. Next year, the census of Anle, Zhongshan and Nuannuan districts will be carried out. If the work meets the requirements, it will be submitted to the Tree Protection Committee for discussion on whether it should be managed and protected.

In order to protect trees and strengthen conservation education, the city government recently invited professional arborists to give a very special nature class to the teachers and students of the fifth grade of Wudu Elementary School, using the methods used by ecological researchers to investigate forest ecology in recent years The secret weapon "LiDAR laser scanning" is actually used to detect the height of trees in the school, whether they are tilted, etc., which makes children feel amazing and interesting, and they know how to protect and cherish old trees.
