Trees plays an essential role to improve the livability of our city and cool down the global warming. In typhoon Mangkhut, around 46,000 trees fell in which 11 were listed in the Register of Old and Valuable Trees, prompting concerns on the shortage of professional arborists and the absence of a centralised tree management system. CCIL aims to extend our sustainability programme to urban tree management and inspire the youth to pursue a green career path.
TreeCare Programme is an experience in which the participants will get the opportunity to learn knowledge such as tree conservation, tree identification, urban tree risk assessment techniques and let them learn about the job of an arborist.
Thank you so much to UPS Foundation for funding this programme from 2019 to 2021, and Hang Seng Bank for funding from 2022 until now.
Service Target: Youth and kids
