会员们:
 
本会非常高興的告诉各位, 我方首以 “中华树艺师学会” 的名義, 接受了 “日本街路树诊斷協会” 和 “日本树木醫協会” 的联合邀请, 在2013年6月16-20日里, 对日本东京都进行了五天的官式访问。  其中, 本会所受到的热情礼待, 包括全程安排华语翻译、安排在东京银座区住宿高级酒店、安排全国树木医讲座和最新技术器材现场交流会、安排到皇居和各名胜点观摩古树等等, 令本会受宠若惊, 亦万分感激日方的浓厚款待。 
 
日本的树木医制度, 是当地官方唯一承认的树艺机构, 已有近30年的历史。  要成为一名日本树木医殊不容易, 首先必须拥有7年以上的相关经验, 通过一个只有约10%合格率左右的入学试, 然后被安排去参加一个14天的地狱式的全天候训练, 白天学习而晚上考试, 每天如是。  捱过了14天以后, 还要进入最后由资深树木医团队组成的面试大会, 在各人投票通过后, 方能成为树木医, 过程一点都不简单。  30多年來, 日本只產生了2,000个左右的树木医, 而牌照需要定期取得学分, 方能继续。  日本的树木医制度, 只有一个等别, 与大中华地区的树艺师制度分成注册、认可、执业、资深和顾问的五个等级不同, 所以目前一名有20年经验的树木医的公家收费, 与一名刚考到牌照的新手树木医相同, 很惨。
 
“日本街路树诊斷協会”, 则是官方承认的唯一树木检查诊断机构, 其性质与大中华地区内的树木评估员身份相若。 “日本街路树诊斷協会” 里面的会员只有企业公司, 而没有个人, 主要是考虑到整体能力和工作保险方面的问题, 目前会员数目只有六十多家, 由每家再自行任聘树木医团队去进行樹木诊断工作。  以日本总面积有广东、广西两省加起之大, 而所有的政府樹木管理只由六十多家企业来分担, 做成每家企业都门庭若市, 供不应求, 生意非常火爆。
 
在本会几天的交流接触里, 我们非常感受到日本在树艺行业发展方面的官民紧密合作关系, 在陪同的人员当中, 也有一位是国土交通厅的高级公务员來全程作出介绍。  在日本, 政府的树木诊断规格和方法, 原来都是交由民间的 “日本街路树诊斷協会” 来研究撰写, 官民之间互相合作, 互相信任, 这点非常难能可贵。  日本政府方面也经常派员出席两个协会的活动, 雙方的研究和报告也互动交流, 共创雙赢。
 
在检视日方的树木诊断器材方面, 以本会长的国际交流经验来看, 日方的水平已在某部份, 超越了世界先进水平, 特别在他们不准出口的GAMMA线透视仪方面, 这仪器准确度达90%, 比任何其他超声波仪器都准确得多, 令本会长大开眼界。
 
是次行程, 由於得到了日方的完全信任, 本会长被赠献了大量的技术资料和报告文件 (用日文写出, 但本会长能看懂日语), 肯定对日后提升大中华地区的樹艺技术知识有所帮助。  本会长同时也对日方如此的浓情厚意, 无私奉献, 感到非常感动。  在此次之后, 日中雙方的合作交流,  绝对应该进行, 这对整个亚洲发展树艺行业的势头, 有带头作同。
 
本会再次感谢日方为此次造访所作出的一切安排和款待, 亦希望在不久将来, 日方能对我地区作出回访, 我方必然投桃報李, 热情回报。
 
谨此致意!

Dear Station Members,

It is the pleasure for the Station Manager (SM) to inform you all that the official visit to Japan on June 16 - 20, 2013, has been a complete success.

This visit is in the name of the China Arborist Association, & it was announced in the circulation all around Japan in this manner.  This also marks the first contact between the Japanese Arborists (which are called the Tree Doctors in Japan) & the Chinese Arborists in any technical & cultural exchange so far.  Both the organizers & the SM have been taking this opportunity very seriously, & had prepared well before the visit.

During the official events of June 17 - 19, the SM was shown the old & valuable trees in the Imperial Palace, & in the first western park (Hibiya) of Japan.  He was given a full morning of seminar  on Tree Planting in Asian Cities, a site demonstration of the latest Decay Detection Equipment in Japan, & a lot of eating & drinking.  Both sides practically worked more than 10 hours solid everyday, & Tokyo is a big city to travel around.

Some of the visiting photos can be viewed in the attachment of this message, though not all due to the email size.  On the other hand, the SM has been given a lot of the latest information on Tree Risk Assessment (TRA) techniques in Japan (in Japanese language which the SM can read), & their classified tree failure reports of Govt Depts.  This will become very useful for our own development in the China Region later.

A major topic of discussion by both sides is on the further cooperation of the two organizations, & the eventual inauguration of the Asia Arboricultural Alliance (AAA).  Both sides have contributed thoughts on this matter, & both sides have agreed that we should work together in time, to make it happen.  Asia cities have got our own cultural & historical background.  Leading the work by our own people would be seen to be more appropriate, though there will be many considerations to take in.

CAA is very grateful for the warm & cordial reception by the Japan Tree Doctors while in Japan, & we have expressed that we are looking forward to a reciprocal visit by them anytime to the China Region.  Together we work, we can bring a better tree care environment to the many awaiting cities in Asia.
 
best regards,
