 　August 5^th was so bright in the morning, we had a gather in Pingtung Forest Office to visit Chiayi Forest Office by minibus. We were so exciting to visit Chiayi for the second time and what we most excite about is we will spent together for the next 3 days!

8月5日，一個有著良辰美景的早晨，我們在屏東林管處集合後，坐著巴士到嘉義林管處。這是我們第二次到嘉義參訪，而最興奮的是我們將和嘉義處的志工共處3天的時間。

Actually the original plan we would stay in Mt.Ali, but due to typhoon in lately week destroyed the trail lead to Mt.Ali,so it changed to Chiayi city tour where we visit some recreation park.

我們原定計畫是要上阿里山國家森林遊樂區，但是，因為最近一個颱風摧毀了通往阿里山的主要道路。我們只好改變到嘉義的行程，所以我們拜訪了附近的生態園區。

Ho-Bou-Yu Ecological Park in Chiayi County
荷苞嶼生態園區

 

Wooden walkway

This ecological park built as environmental protection of air and water, where this area filled with vibrant plant and has water filtering system.

這個生態公園是用來作為空氣和水的環境保護設施，在這裡到處都是充滿活力的植物和汙水過濾系統。

The next destination was fisherman’s village..

下一個目的地是嘉義靠海的東石漁村......

Are you curious about oyster?

Near from that we can see modern Dongshih Ecological Exhibition building that still under construction

我們可以看到有著現代化建築的東石自然生態展覽館，目前還仍在施工中。

Then, we visited Aogu Wetland that reclaimed from the sea for agricultural use, but has become a coastal wetland after being abandoned due to land subsidence and salinization

鰲鼓濕地森林公園是一個典型的沙洲泥灘地，從早期的台糖用地，到最近由於因為地層下降和鹽化無法作為農用，而成為一個被遺棄的濱海溼地，現在由林務局進行綠化和保護，也成為一個兼具沼澤、森林及農用生態系統的複合型生態濕地環境。

This wetland area purposed to restore the national habitats for various types of waterfowl and wildlife.

這片濕地現已成為各種水禽與野生動物的棲息地。

Closed the 1^st day by enjoying sunset..

第一天的結束，大家享受著夕陽餘暉......

Day 2^nd

First we had a meeting held by Forest Bureau in Chiayi Forest District Office. There we expreesed our feelings we had after 1 month run this forest project.

Wow! we had a performance surprise from Chiayi volunteers J

第二天在嘉義林管處參加一場研討會，我們每個人都在會中發表這一個月來的工作體驗。另外，嘉義處的青年志工們的表演，令人眼睛為之一亮呢！

Before we turn to Pingtung with Chiayi volunteer, we took time to visit Eco-educational nature park where we can see the endangered bird named Pheasant-tailed Jacana

在我們回到屏東之前，嘉義的志工夥伴邀請我們一起去參觀官田的水雉生態教育區，在這裡我們可以觀察到瀕危而受保護的鳥類－水雉的生態。

 

 



Quiz time! Can you find the birds?

In the afternoon, Pingtung and Chiayi volunteers arrived at Kenting National Park. We are very proud to introduce Kenting national park to them and they deliver a good respons about it J

最後一天，大夥來到來雙流國家森林遊樂區，我們向他們介紹園區內各個景觀；當然包括最美的雙流瀑布。我們也盡心的介紹我們的遊樂區；就像我們在嘉義的第一天，他們為我們解說一樣.....
