Forest park maintenance and ecological aesthetic awareness

Wenshan Forest Park in Taipei City harmoniously blends natural ecology, forest trails, and cultural history, providing a tranquil retreat for residents. However, maintaining the park’s ecological balance and ensuring safe trails is no easy task. It requires not only technical expertise but also the tireless dedication of volunteers who regularly patrol and maintain the park.

In collaboration with Taiwan Thousand Miles Trail Association (TMI Trail), Wenshan Community University has introduced volunteer training programs. These programs teach volunteers how to monitor and address ecological issues within the park. Thanks to the ongoing efforts of these volunteers, Wenshan Forest Park has become a model for sustainable trail maintenance. The park also seeks to change public perceptions of ecological aesthetics, fostering a deeper appreciation for a balanced and thriving landscape.

森林公園維護與生態美學認知

台北市文山森林公園結合自然生態、森林步道和人文歷史等多項元素，為市民提供一個休閒遊憩的場所。然而要持續維護公園生態環境和步道行走的安全，卻不是一件容易的事，不僅需要專業技術支持，也需要大量的志工投入定期巡察和維護。

台北市文山社大與台灣千里步道協會，為巡守志工隊開設培力課程，訓練志工監測公園生態環境問題，透過志工持續的投入，文山森林公園不只是手作步道的典範，期待也能翻轉民眾的生態美學認知，才能實現公園多樣化的景觀與生態平衡。
