About the Event
While many of us were still sleeping in bed on one Sunday morning (21 April 2013), with the support from the Foundation, 6 Fung Scholars participated in the Tree Planting Challenge organized by Friends of the Earth Hong Kong.
They gathered at Ma On Shan station as early as 8 am and then took a shuttle bus to Ma On Shan Country Park. After getting to know each other in a brief mingling session, all of them were ready for action!
After collecting seedlings and planting tools from Seedling Distribution Point uphill, they carried boxes of heavy seedlings up the hill. Each of the participants carried 10 seedlings. Upon reaching the designated planting ground, they dug pits using the planting tools and planted the seedlings into the new grounds. At the end of the day, 60 seedlings were planted. While their action did not create a rainforest, it is through these little efforts by everyone that makes our Earth a better place to live!
