About the Programme


The Green Earth (TGE) joined "Plantation Enrichment Programme" since 2016. Established a half-hectare of "The Green Earth Charity Woodland" in 2023, we aim to enrich the biodiversity of Hong Kong Country Parks and provide a variety of food sources for wildlife.

# “Plantation Enrichment Programme (PEP)” was launched by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) in 2009. The Green Earth aims to encourage public participation, hopes to gather a group of green friends to establish the "TGE Charity Woodland". This afforestation work takes five years, including strategically removing aging exotic trees within designated zones, replacing them with native trees, conducting regular growth checks, tree-care maintenance (like weeding and fertilizing) and ecological survey, etc.

* The aim of this programme is to gather joint support in establishing a woodland and enhancing its biodiversity. Strong may hold while weak may be weeded out in the natural competition so the survival rate of seedlings in the wild will never be 100%. If some of the seedlings fail to survive, TGE will decide whether to replant according to the circumstances.
