66.5 thousand trees were burnt down in a fire at Tai Lam Country Park. AFCD plans to reforest the burnt area in 10 years. A new “ecological engineering” approach will be adopted to improve the diversity of the woodland. Native trees will be planted at suitable areas. HF Cheung, Chairman of HKBWS commented that the fire could be an opportunity to switch from the previous low value exotic woodland to an environment that is more attractive to foraging birds.
