Chinese Arrow-head and Water Chestnut Harvesting Activity
In 2005, The Conservancy Association (CA) and Hong Kong Bird Watching Society (HKBWS) received funding from the Environment and Conservation Fund and started conservation management agreement pilot projects in Long Valley. The projects have been carried out for 2 years. We have planted some freshwater crops like Water Chestnut, Chinese Arrow-head and Paddy Rice to restore wet agriculture and attract birds. After cultivated for a year, the harvest season of Water Chestnut and Chinese Arrow-head has come. In response to the World Wetland Day, CA and HKBWS is going to hold a Chinese Arrow-head and Water Chestnut Harvesting Activity so that members and non-members can witness this special moment and experience the happiness of harvest. Participants can bring the harvested crops home. Family and friends are welcome.
