秘訪蘭花活動圓滿完成！雖然只能舉辦其中一場原定計劃的 活動，但參加者沿著山頂附近的步道，參觀了獨特而多樣的 蘭花植物。大部分蘭花在當時盛開，參加者能夠有幸觀察到12 種不同的蘭花屬植物。參加者不僅僅通過觀察來學習，還學 習了關於蘭花的生長習性和適應性，以及盜採和喪失棲息地 對其種群的威脅。 2

The Orchid Walk activity was completed without a hitch! Though only one of two initially planned sessions were held, participants were guided along the trails near the peak and given a peak at the unique and diverse orchid flora which populate our country parks. Many of the orchids were in bloom at the time and participants were able to observe 12 unique genus of plants flourishing in the wild. However, participants didn’t learn solely through observation, and were also educated on their growth habits and adaptations, as well as the threats of poaching and habitat loss on their population.

During these museum workshops, participants not only learned about the biodiversity on Earth but also had the privilege to visit the specimen preparation room and behind-the-scenes imaging studio!

We held our Night Safari night field activity at two locations, Lung Fu Shan and Lau Shui Heung Reservoir. Although it was close to the end of the herping season, we were very fortunate to be able to observe night creatures such as White-lipped pit viper, Common wolf snake and several gecko species with our participants over two days 13 of the event. It was a fruitful experience!
