Guarding Dadu Mountain – Vision for a better future
Dadu Moutain lacks water and it is impossible to obtain water through well drilling. Early pioneers were forced to build water reservoirs that had to be cleaned out at periodic intervals. Such cleaning maintenance took place during the autumn-winter dry season, when silt was removed from the bottom of the reservoir to extend its life. The red clay removed from the reservoir was extremely pure, making it an ideal material for adobe bricks. With the announcement that this year Taichung Park will once again make a number of adobe bricks for use in restoration work, a number of activities have been organized under the “Guard Dadu Mountain” banner.
In addition, restoration of the indigenous Rosa cymosa (小果薔薇) and Pyrus taiwanensis (臺灣野梨) will also take place. It is hoped that with tender care, in a few years time Dadu Mountain will come to life with the elegant blossoms of Rosa cymosa and Pyrus taiwanensis, providing Taichung residents with a idyllic location to enjoy the wonderful floral display.

守護大肚山 看見更好未來
大肚山頂缺乏水資源,無法經由鑿井取得水源,先民必須挖掘水堀蓄水,而水堀在使用一段時間後,就必須利用秋冬乾旱時期,清除水堀底部淤泥,才能延長使用年限,清出的紅泥土細緻少雜質,這時用來製作傳統土角磚,是最佳的原始材料。今年臺中都會公園,再度製作一批紅土角樁,取代已溶蝕的角樁,並舉辦一系列的「守護大肚山」活動。並同時復育原生種小果薔薇與臺灣野梨,期望經過細心照料,數年後能在大肚山綻放清雅梨花,屆時將與薔薇花相輝映,讓臺中市民多一處賞花景點。
