Walk For Nature 2014 步走大自然
WWF Hong Kong will hold it's annual Walk for Nature fundraising event at Mai Po on 8th and 9th November 2014.
The Walk for Nature is one of WWF's major public outreach and fundraising events, highlighting the importance of wildlife conservation to participants by providing a first-hand experience of wetlands and wildlife. The theme for this year's event is "Preserving Hong Kong Ecological Assets", showcasing how our conservation efforts preseve Mai Po's ecological assets.
During the event, participants will follow a route from the Visitor Centre to the Education Centre, around the freshwater ponds near the education centre, along footpath of
gei wai #12/13 and back to the visitor centre along the Border Fence Road. Participants will not go behind the fence into the Frontier Closed Area and floating boardwalk. WWF staff and volunteers will be situated along the route to inform visitors about the wetlands at Mai Po and their importance for wildlife.
Please note that the Car Park will not be accessible for public vehicles, and will be reserved for events related to the Walk for Nature and coaches bringing participants to the event. If you are planning to visit the reserve on the dates mentioned above, we advise you to take public transport. We apologise for any inconvenience to regular visitors to the reserve, but the event is an important part of the WWF to raise money and promote the conservation message to members of the public.

世界自然基金會香港分會將於2014年11月8日及9日舉行一年一度籌款活動「步走大自然」。
步走大自然不單是我們一個重要的籌款活動，亦希望藉著活動接觸更多市民大眾，透過親身接觸濕地及野生生物，使大家了解濕地保育的重要性。今年「步走大自然」將以「保育米埔︰香港珍貴的生態資產」為題，與公衆一同了解保育工作對維持本土生態資產的重要性。
活動進行期間，參加者將會沿著一條由訪客中心開始的路線，經過教育中心及附近的淡水塘，由基圍#12/13行人路經禁區路折返訪客中心，參加者並不會到禁區路外的浮橋及浮屋。屆時，基金會將會有工作人員在保護區不同位置為公眾介紹濕地及保育訊息。
活動進行期間，由於需要安排位置給公眾集合及旅遊巴士使用，訪客中心外的停車場將會封閉，只供當天活動使用，如各位當天需要到米埔觀鳥，請盡量使用公共交通具。若為閣下構成任何不便，本會謹此致歉， 希望各位明白此活動對基金會籌款及宣掦保育意識甚為重要。
