Consolidated Green Project.
The Steering Committee on Greening lacks the necessary vision to adequately oversee tree management in Hong Kong. Greening projects in the city are conducted by various different government departments, which makes it difficult to trace who is responsible for any particular project. A more professional system and a better public education are needed in this regard.
樹木可以美化環境,為鳥類、昆蟲提供棲息或覓食的地方。香港人煙稠密,栽種樹木形成生態系統並不容易。綠化督導委員會欠缺完善規劃,著重樹木的數量,忽略它的種類,喜歡種植外來品種。綠化工作由政府多個部門各自執行,權責不清。部門外判工作給承辦商,價低者得,素質難有保證。樹藝師認為:提高大眾對樹藝的認識,較建立專業制度更重要。
