会员们:

以下是摘自一辑从香港某大报章的报导, 如果内容属实, 可说是一则由外行去管内行的例子。

相信如此庞大工程开展之前, 需要通过多番技术讨论, 从平面设计、选种、护养到财务安排等等, 当中应有各类专家参与和提供见, 而最后叫则由负责领导的委员会拍板敲定 。 这是一个正常的用钱方法, 而最后的景观效果和其长效性, 就是这次使用公款扮靓的核实方法。

假如公家的钱是花了, 而只有 "即时效果" , 却没有长远效益, 说得过去吗？怎样去向付钱的人交待？

树木的选种和种植，都有一些特定的要求, 并不是翻翻课本, 或在标本室打个圈就可以厘定一切, 美丽的图纸设计, 必须成为日后现场鉴定比较的证据，否则只是 "讲一套、做一套", 在今天传媒的监督下，还能只手遮天吗？

树木种植是由 "大自然去决定成败, 而不是设计者"，看来这句话有其道理。

谨此致意!

Dear Station Members,

The set of China Tree News below described how 70+% of a recent tree planting by a municipality did not survive after installation. Several thousand trees did not make it after installation. The local residents & the media have labeled it a "tree murder". Nobody seemed to have any gain on this event at the end.

If trees are poorly selected & incorrectly planted, they will turn from social asset to an eventual Time Bomb. Right trees must be planted in the right places, or Mother Nature makes the Rules. It is very important that the Tree Planting Design & Supervision, are conducted by people who understand trees. Never plant for an "Instant Effect" or just for an instance. Trees live longer than humans. We have seen already too many times that how taxpayers money is wasted in this manner.

If a Tree Design calls itself "good", it should last. Comparing the design drawings over the years with reality on site is the best proof of a quality design. Trees require mostly watering to sustain. Fertilization is minor when comparing with smaller plants. Proper Pruning would be the key for quality growth.

This example in China is just one case reported by the media on how trees were designed by people who do not understand trees. There are many others. As their landscape trees grow older, they may become more of a burden for maintenance & potential risk to the public. It's about time China to pay more attention on proper Tree Care.

ISA HK/China is ready to help our brothers & sisters up north anytime on call. We are keen to see China trees growing as good as those as anywhere else for a quality living, one tree & one arborist at a time.

面子工程 寧波植樹變殺樹

【本報綜合報道】浙江寧波去年夏天為整治市容，在市內主幹道種植了數千棵香樟、銀杏等樹木，但為趕工期倉卒行事，在不適合種樹的季節栽樹、並於平地誤用山地苗木，導致七成以上樹木死亡，不少只剩下光禿禿的枯枝，反而影響市容。網民狠批當局為面子工程而浪費公帑、害死樹木。

樹木死亡率達七成

「通途路上去年街景整治時種的行道樹大部分都枯死了，讓人看了真是心痛！」市民徐先生表示，去年七、八月時目睹工人在市內主幹道通途路兩邊栽種樹 木，但當時根本不是種樹的時機，沒多久就發現樹上葉子大部分都掉落，根本活不成。

據悉，寧波市政部門去年進行街景整治工程「兩縱兩橫」，主要在通途路上推行綠化，當時栽種了數千棵香樟、櫸樹、銀杏等樹種。市園林管理局其後曾派 員查看，竟發現樹木的死亡率高達七成，原因是苗木不合適、種樹的季節不對及後期管理出問題。

市城管局市政管理處職員坦承，對於樹木死亡率高，他們也感到很吃驚，但因為當時要趕工期，只好匆匆忙忙地把這些樹種上。因樹木大部分沒有成活，故 該局目前沒有向施工方付費，正安排補栽樹木。
