Tai Lam Country Park – Yuen Tun Country Trail
These two adjacent planting sites were established more than 30 years ago and are predominantly composed of exotic species like Brisbane Box (Lophostemon confertus). It has been observed that some of the trees were damaged by hill fires in the past. Although some of them have survived, they are vulnerable to strong wind too. The understory area has a thick layer of broken branches and weeds (mostly Dicranopteris pedata), which makes it harder for local plants to establish and thrive. However, the discovery of traces of wild animals during our site preparation has made us feel great. By introducing more native plant species to the woodlands, we aim to provide a wider variety of food sources to attract more wildlife and make this place their habitat.
