各位会员:
附上的是近日在 中国花卉报 的一篇对本分会长的专访, 内容非常精确简明, 可说是写作能力远远在我们的水平之上.
至於报导在提升本分会长成为 "亚洲树艺第一人" 的殊衔, 本分会长实在愧不敢当, 他的前人在全球为树艺发展的人多的是, 分会长只不过是少数的能操流利普通话在国内公开讲树艺课的人而矣, 诸位看倌不必挂在心上.
国内目前在种树投资上的犯点, 与香港的七十年代起相似, 很多的所谓 "即时效果"、"老树临风" 等等现象, 在香港早就司空见惯, 难道国内的园林设计是跟著香港的老方向走?
正如文中所提到的 "知易行难" 这一点, 要把传统利益重新分配, 和把用苗的人的思想改变过来, 恐怕并非瞬间之事, 所谓 "江山易改、品性难移', 有钱的可以买到硬件, 但在软件配套方面又怎么样呢? 这点在许多的国内城市发展可见一班.
国内要马上推行国际树艺学, 可能不符合目前的中国国情; 照搬硬套, 可能会弄巧反拙. 按本分会之浅见, 国内应该发展起具有中国特色的树艺行业和牌照制度, 参照 ISA 作为一个模式, 把全国参与树木设计、施工、护养和检查的人, 用科学制度把他们归纳起来, 成立中央级、省级和市级的树艺师牌照去作出管理, 也成立各种的树艺组织去推广, 令国内的种树投资更安全、更省钱.
为此, 本分会将会积极的架起桥梁作用, 将国内与国际靠拢接轨, 这也完合符合 ISA 的使命 (ISA Mission). 国内需要的不是学术论者, 而是有实战操作经验的行业模范; 需要懂得现场解决问题, 而不是天天 "文山会海"; 树艺人不能光讲不做, 不能攀树用锯写报告的, 算是什么类型的 "树艺师" 啊?
尊贵的会员们, 本分会叮囑你们去学好普通话, 学好攀树用锯写报告, 为未来的祖国树艺发展作出应有的贡献吧!
谨此致意!
国际树木学会中国地区分区会会长

Dear Station Members,
Attached is the latest report on an interview of the Station Manager (SM) on Tree Risk Management & ISA with the largest Green Newspaper in China called the China Gardening News (CGN). CGN has at least 20 million readers in China in landscaping alone, as well as in nursery production, wholesale & academic research. It is read by every Landscape Bureau in China, & can be regarded as what the west would call a "Party Newspaper". The SM has been contributing articles to CGN since 1994 on cold hardy palms & on ISA lately, & has an excellent relationship with them.
For those who don't read Chinese to understand the contents of the attachment in Mandarin, one way is to show it to a local Chinese restaurant for a casual translation. The name of the SM is "Au Wing Sum" in Cantonese, & "Our Yung Sen" in Mandarin.
Although the discussion was supposed to be on Tree Risk Management, the reporter has candidly brought on the many aspects of Tree Care in China. Such issues include the lack of knowledge for modern arboriculture, the refusal of the academics to accept international practices, & the attitudes of the municipal leaders to go after "instant effect" with mature trees in tree planting. The report was written in such a way unusual to the "united front" of most Party Newspapers. It has surfaced sensitive issues which may invite attacks.
The SM has already been actively involved with building the arboricultural profession in China for about 2 years already. From what the SM has seen, forcing what has been practiced in the western world into China strongly, would simply meet heavy resistance. This is because of the existing conditions from design, production, & supervision would not support contemporary ideas. In China, the word "harmony" ranks above all. Causing disturbance in the green industry in general, because of something recognized elsewhere & is said to be good, is not a valid reason enough to push an overall change. It has to be done in a smarter way to comply with realities.
Therefore, the SM has been proposing some kind of a National Arborist Association (NAA) for China, similar to those abroad. The Chinese experts would run it, with us giving advices on it. ISA would be the model for construction, & this NAA would build the industry under the consideration of their existing resources. NAA would produce their own credentials, with ISA credentials to be their ultimate goal.
There are very few Station Members of ISA HK/China who can communicate enough to deliver seminars & technical advice in Mandarin for China. A lot think they do, but would fall apart during a confrontation. The Chinese are pragmatic to see our experts to be well versed in not just the theory, but the actual practices of arboriculture such as tree climbing, chainsaw uses, presentations & report writing. Someone who talks all day but not be able to do it on site, would not be respected by them, because they have too many "experts" of this kind in China already. For our overseas experts to go into China, the language will be a huge barrier, as less than 0.5% of the China landscapers can speak understandable English. Translating technical practices will be a nightmare.
China now wants to move forward to meet the world in arboriculture. This complies with the ISA Mission. We need to help their 1.3 billion population & countless billions of trees in their 900 cities. Yet there is not even one single Certified Arborist in China at this moment. The opportunities there will be immense.
May the world help China to bring them into ISA, as they are already willing to accept us.
best regards,
Sammy Au
