植樹又植仁

主辨機構安排植樹地點，招募工作人員，培育樹苗．參加團體在集合場地與工作人員匯合，每人帶著分派到的樹苗上山植樹，義工在現場講解植樹程序後，參加者便開始種植了．

究竟香港的樹木數量是多還是少了呢？如果你是植樹機構便知道尋找適合種植地點的困難．現在尚是光禿山頭的地方可能是交通困難，也可能是地質不適合種植．答案是可以種樹的地方都種上了樹了．

Every year I go up the mountain to plant trees.  I have been a goer, a volunteer, and one of the participating groups.  Tree planting is just a medium.  More importantly, it is to bring out the message behind. 

The organizers arrange planting site, recruit staff and nurture seedlings. The participating groups gather together at the designated site and meet up with the staff.  Each participant brings up the allotted seedlings to the mountain.  Volunteers explain the planting procedures and then planting begins. 

Are there plenty of trees in Hong Kong?  If you are the organizer, you will realize the difficulties in finding suitable locations for planting.  If the place is still a bald hill, transportation is a problem and it may also be not suitable for cultivation geologically.   The answer is that trees are already planted wherever feasible.
