2012林務局國際志工在屏東: New knowledges in Shuangliou

　This 2^nd week in Shuangliou was so great, besides class lessons on Monday until Wednesday, we were going to Mt. Maozi and Banyan trail on Saturday on Sunday. On Monday we had a class in Nature Center start from 9AM, the teacher (Rainbow) shared about the history of Shuangliou and Nature Center. It’s good to know that Shuangliou already exists for 75 years, but it just open as recreational area in 1998. The Nature Center itself has establish in July, 4 2009.

　在雙流的兩個禮拜真是美好，除了星期一到星期三的訓練課程，我們打算在禮拜六、日去走帽子山步道和白榕步道。禮拜一從上午9點開始自然教育中心安排了彩虹姐姐(老師)分享有關雙流國家森林遊樂區和自然教育中心的歷史。非常開心知道這個國家森林已經存在了75年，但它的遊樂區在1998年才開幕。而自然教育中心則在2009年七月成立。

　Nature Center established as the Forestry Bureau’s program to introducing forest and ecological life to people, so they can get closer to nature. I think it such brilliant, especially this program has a school camp for children age 5 – 17 years old. Beside that, Nature Center has a program to facilitate graduate student, course for teacher and proffesor, disable people, volunteers, and children. Rainbow told about the history of Shuangliou, as we remember that Shuangliou as the 2nd most beautiful waterfall in Taiwan so we have high recommended that people must visit Shuangliou.

自然教育中心在林務局的計劃下成立，目的在介紹森林和生態給民眾，讓他們可以更接近大自然。尤其自然教育中心是為5 - 17歲的學童舉辦環境教育營隊，我認為這是明智之舉。此外，自然教育中心針對研究生、老師、教授、殘障人士、志工和兒童有定有特別企劃。彩虹姐姐告訴我們雙流是泉台灣的第二個最美麗的瀑布(陰離子含量第二高)，所以，我們極力建議民眾，有空應該到雙流走走。

Then, here are the outdoor class. We walked to the forest via Mountainside Bridge trail with Nature Center teacher called (nature name) Bamboo and Rainbow. There are lots animal we found such as lizards, kind of insects, the baby of frog, spiders, worm and we take smell of beautiful flower Lily, take a look at Oak, try to eat Fern’s leaf and medical fruit that has no taste. After that we went to the river and find some aquatic animals like crab, shrimp, mayflies, and dragonflies (Baetiella bispinosa, Cardina weberi, Geothelpusa albugilva, and Gibosia lucida). At the end of outdoor class we played a toy made from bamboo, we just know that bamboo is very useful for food, toy, furniture and some kind of accessories. We also learnt about Lollypop Tree that can be use for raincoat at the past.
當我們與自然教育中心的竹君老師和彩虹姐姐走在沿山步道進行戶外課程時，我們發現這裡有很多的動物，如蜥蜴、青蛙、蝌蚪、蜘蛛等，同時我們也聞到了美麗的百合花的香味；看到了白千層並嘗試蕨類的嫩葉。之後，我們來到河邊，找到一些水生動物如蟹，蝦，水蠆和蜻蜓。在課程的最後，我們練習了用竹子製成的玩具，我們了解到，竹子的用途非常廣，除了竹筍可以當食物，還能製作玩具、家具和一些用品讓。我們還了解到山棕，在以前用來作成簑衣(雨衣)。

Wow, Saturday and Sunday as the greatest of this week. We went to Mount Maozi trail on Sunday. Mt. Maozi is the highest in Shuangliou and rises 700 meters above the sea level. The total length to reach the top is 2.800 meters and we need about 2 hours. After reach the top of the mountain we can see the breathtaking scenary that we can’t explain well by words. Another great was on Sunday went to Banyan trail, it was so adventurous because the forest so natural. We feels like a Tarzan in the jungle while walked to this trail.

哇！終於到了禮拜六和禮拜天，這是這禮拜以來最棒的兩天了。星期日我們去走帽子山步道，帽子山是雙流最高的山，海拔有700米，到達山頂總長度約2千800公尺長，需要走2個小時左右。在到達山頂後，可以欣賞到壯麗的風景，連綿的山巒起伏，美到難以用文字形容。另一件很棒的事情是，上個禮拜天去白榕步道，我們把自己當成是泰山，走在這條天然的步道上。
