New Taipei City works to protect old trees (2014/02/07)

New Taipei City is actively working to save old trees. At the request of residents it will make environmental modifications and even call in a tree doctor to protect these precious resources. 

This tree doctor is chipping away infected rotten bark and wood. The area is then fire-treated.

Carbonization of the blackened bark prevents it from forming another bacterial infection. To heal the wound, a protective barrier is painted on.

Tree Doctor
I’m using a fungicide with lime and some ink. These ingredients are generally natural and won’t harm the tree.

The tree doctor is treating an 80-year-old hackberry. Residents of Shuangfung Village, Xinzhuang are helping by building branch supports to prevent the tree from toppling over.

We are teaching people how to protect and take better care of trees. The New Taipei City government wants to let residents know that if they encounter similar problems, it can help.

The city government’s plan to save trees through pruning and pest control is paying big dividends. Now, the community can enjoy rejuvenated trees, which contribute to a healthy living environment for all.

新北市護樹

新北市政府推動"啄木鳥護樹計畫",新莊區雙鳳里一棵80歲老朴樹,因此得救,市府把影響樹木生長的水溝改道,還請來樹醫生?它"動手術"治病,要讓他繼續健康樂活。

用刨刀,把樹皮被細菌感染,已經爛掉的部分清理掉,接著還要用大火燒。

大火燒後,樹皮呈現黑色,已經完全碳化,這樣就不會再被細菌感染,而為了讓樹傷口復原,還要給他貼上特製的人工皮保護。

“現在用的是殺菌劑, 加上石灰,再加上墨汁,都是比較天然的配方,所以對人體 對樹沒有傷害”

樹醫生細心的?80歲的老朴樹動手術治病,新莊區雙鳳里的里民更是全員出動,幫他做大美容,還要作支架支撐樹枝,防止他倒下。

[[新北市農業局局長 廖榮清]]
“宣導民眾如何保護樹木,把樹木照顧得更好,新北市政府希望,利用宣導的機會 讓所有市民知道,如果遇到這種類似的困難,市政府可以幫助各位”

新北市政府推動的"啄木鳥護樹計畫",成果斐然,珍貴老樹的修剪和病蟲害防治,就是要用實際行動,幫境內的老樹回春,延續樹木生命,?市民打造健康樂活的環境。
