各位会员:

在2011年10月中旬, 国际树木学会 中国地区分会有幸获邀参加位于浙江省金华市举办的 “2011中国苗木交易会” (苗交会). 是次盛会, 集中了全国最大最优秀的苗木生产商和园林工作者, 也是本分会首次离开广东, 到华中地区推介 ISA 的树艺知识.

本分会长在研讨论坛上发表了三小时的 “园林苗木栽培与管理如何与国际接轨” 的议题, 台下的高级园林工程师、研究员、农艺师们从怀疑、好奇、平淡的始端态度, 走进积极、追查和相信的末端态度. 从会场内的手机不响, 没人睡觉和三小时的全神贯注, 本分会长感觉到台下听众的反应是积极呤听, 小心求证, 跟以往本分会在华南地区所给的讲座差不多.

树艺知识对华中地区的园林从业员来说是崭新的领域. 以前, 他们顶多是看过听过国外的景观设计, 但对正当的树木护理, 从育苗、选种、设计、栽种、修剪、护理、检查、风险评估、工地保护和法律责任咨询方面,可说仍然是仃留在西方国家的六十、七十年代的知识, 当他们在国外看到优质的大树种植之时, 也不了解有树艺师这个专业存在, 这也是此次交流的最大得益之处.

眼看金华城区里的城市树木种植, 很多都犯上了香港七十年代起的错误: 小树洞里种大树; 使用 “去顶树”; 树底下种满其他小花等等. 基本概念仍是 “贪多求大”; 树根是往深里长; 和 “不死就是好货” 这种态度. 目前的做法是与 “陪了夫人又折兵” 无疑, 也为日后制造大量的 “危险树” 定下了基础. 这种观念在国内要改变, 要追上, 恐怕还需要漫长旅程.

“苗交会” 本来就是做买卖的, 但本分会长也引导听众们眼光要扩阔放长, 才能长期赚大钱. 比如说, 做苗木买卖大部份是一次性的生意, 卖了又不知道何时有返单; 投资大、风险高; 冬天又有农闲季节. 假如学会了正当的树艺技术, 可以把一部份的劳动力放上城市树木护理上面, 市区树木是不能不理的, 在每个季节都有忙碌的工种, 而冬季农闲则是树木修剪搬移的最好时机, 城区树木的风险评估也应该全年进行.

可以看到, 树艺行业在国内的发展空间巨大, 能创造就业, 促进社会繁荣稳定, 给市民种好大树茂林, 为城市增值.

可能国内目前最急需的, 是要为树艺行业培训人才, 也切勿 “找外行来领导内行”; 树艺行业的领导者就是树艺师, 国际上并没有其他行业能够代替. ISA 是世界上最大和最有历史的园林树木护理机构, 它在树艺行业的研究和教育能力, 目前没有单一国家或且任何绿化组织能予以相比, ISA 可以在这方面为我国作出贡献.

从现在开始, 本分会将积极接受国内邀请, 把正当的树艺知识向国人传播, 造福社会.

Dear Station Members,

It is the pleasure of ISA HK/China to be invited to speak at the 2011 National Conference of Nursery Products in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province in October 2011. It was also the first time that ISA was heard in Central China.

This conference has gathered all the biggest nurseries & landscapers from all around China. It was well advertised & well attended by hundreds of thousands of visitors. From the business cards so collected by the Station Manager (SM), nearly every region of China was represented there. It has been a very successful event.

The SM has delivered a 3 hour talk in “Tree Planting & Tree Pruning to ISA Best Management Practices”. It was very well received. In fact, the audience was so zealous that even at 5 pm when the lecture room was to be shut down by the security staff, the audience were still crowding around the SM for questions & photos. It was not until the securities turned off some of the lights that the audience would let go. It can be called a complete success.

Tree Planting in China right now is following the outdated practices of the third world with topped trees, miniaturized tree pit & dense packing. ISA knowledge fell upon them like something from outer space, yet the knowledge itself is nothing difficult. When the SM explained the facts to the audience with simple terms & photo depiction (in Mandarin off course), hardly any attendee would raise the hand to object. ISA knowledge is not ocean deep. It’s just that they have not heard it before. Now the Chinese audiences want more.

Dozens of Station Membership has been collected in this visit, & the SM has encouraged the new entries to spread the word for us. Comparing to HK, nearly every new Station Member from China is at least a degree holder. Many are researchers & Senior Landscape Engineers. These new members will make an impact for us in China in future.

ISA will no doubt spread into China. This is a social need for the China cities. Trees can be Time Bombs if not looked after well. Mother Nature always makes the Rules.

Now ISA HK/China awaits for more opportunities to promote ISA Arboriculture into China. This will be good to the Chinese societies & all the citizens there with better & safer trees. ISA will improve the quality of living for our brothers & sisters, with our tremendous research & education abilities. It will be good for all at the end.

best regards,
