Environmental protection in Zhuzikeng

Zhuzikeng Eco Park is a lush green mountain forest, surrounded by a profusion of colorful flowers. The park is managed by Taichung Environmental Protection and Ecological Conservation Association.

Committed to promoting forest conservation and environmental protection, Zhuzikeng Eco Park uses tree stumps and leaves as fertilizer, so no pollution from chemicals or plastic will occur. On this piece of farmland, non-toxic natural farming methods are used to grow all manner of things, the most unique of which is the large and fragrant citron, a perfect match for the garden’s biodiversity.

In order to acquaint more people with the environment and ecology, the park actively promotes itself through various marketing initiatives. It has also developed a special farming area for outside students to do DIY activities. Based on the concept of a garden bio-chain, the ecological park creates small ecological ponds to allow fish, snails, tadpoles, and other creatures to survive in a natural state. In addition, many environmental education courses are organized, where schools can participate in guided activities. Thanks to education and tours, an increasing number of people are getting to enjoy Zhuzikeng Eco Park, helping to raise awareness and expand knowledge on environmental protection.

竹仔坑的環境保護

一片綠意盎然的山林，周圍還有許多繽紛花叢，這裡是臺中市環保生態保育協會所管理的竹仔坑生態園區。

園區致力推動森林保育與地貌環境保護，用殘枝落葉當作肥料，因此不會有化學塑料的汙染發生。在這塊農地裡，以無毒農法所養成的作物可說是應有盡有，而其中最別具特色的是配合花園生物鏈的香水檸檬。

而為了讓更多人瞭解環保生態，園區更積極做行銷上的推廣，還延伸出一塊食農專用地來供外界學生餐與及動手DIY。藉著花園生物鏈的概念，生態園區營造小小生態池，讓魚類、螺、蝌蚪等生物在非人工的狀態下生存，並同時舉辦許多環保教育課程，讓外界學校參與導覽說明的活動。透過教育與導覽，讓更多人看見竹仔坑生態園區，也拓展了對環保概念的知識及見解。
