Yesterday, I visit Tai Po Kau, uphill from carpark, when passed the orchard, I noted people vacated, trees were cut, weeds were cleared, looked ecology has been destroyed and new development will happen soon. Any one could let us have some update? Author: HKBWS Chuan Time: 9/02/2012 15:32
A new land owner required the tenants to move out and has plans to use the grounds for an unknown purpose. As far as I am aware, there are no official building plans for the site. I have not seen the area recently but heard that it has been significantly degraded, with trees and vegetation removed. It would be useful if passers-by could keep monitoring the area. It was unique in TPK in being an open area with extensive forest edge and attracted (or allowed opportunities to see) different birds. Plants in the gardens were also very attractive to butterflies and moths. Very disappointing to have such damage occur.

非常感謝各位的報告。
本會亦留意到該區有斬樹及移除植物, 會繼續留意情況及向政府有關部門跟進。
Thank you very much for your reports.
HKBWS is also aware that there has been vegetation removal and cutting down of trees in the area. We will closely monitor the site and report to relevant government departments. Author: Godwin Time: 10/02/2012 15:09
係呀, 見到有一棵直徑差不多一米嘅大樹被斬, 好驚訝...
