The Hong Kong Countryside Foundation is developing the concept of a 𝐅𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐡 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐥 that connects 𝑴𝒊𝒓𝒔 𝑩𝒂𝒚 to 𝑫𝒆𝒆𝒑 𝑩𝒂𝒚 through the hills and plains in the northern part of 𝑯𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝑲𝒐𝒏𝒈. It is not a single line, but a network of paths catering for hikers of different levels and linking villages, scenic points, culturally interesting places, sites of ecological values, and convenience stops. More than drawing lines on maps, colleagues and volunteers of HKCF have started making reconnaissance trips to assess conditions on the ground. These images show director Roger Nissim and volunteer Elton Lam evaluating potential routes to link the 𝑹𝒐𝒃𝒊𝒏'𝒔 𝑵𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝑪𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒚 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒌 and 𝑻𝒂𝒊 𝑻𝒐 𝒀𝒂𝒏. Much work remains to be done.

香港鄉郊基金會正在構想香港的「第五山徑」,跨越香港北部的山嶺和平原,連接東部的大鵬灣和西部的后海灣。「第五山徑」不會是單一的路線,而是一個由多條步道組成的網絡,適合不同程度的遠足者,並將沿途的鄉村、觀景點、文化特色、重要生態區和補給站點連接起來。香港鄉郊基金的同事和義工不僅是在地圖上劃線,還已開展了實地考察,評估實際情況。照片展示基金董事 Roger Nissim和義工林穩超正在評估連接紅花嶺郊野公園和大刀屻的可能路線,「第五山徑」要做的事還很多。

Rice Fish has once disappeared from Lai Chi Wo when the village revitalization project started 10 years ago. The re-introduction is a case published in IUCN Translocation for Conservation last year.

The seminar and field trip by Dr. Ken So and Tommy Hui will give you insights about the case.

We are saddened to learn about the passing away of Dr Jane Goodall. She has dedicated her life to studying our living friends on Earth and promoting for their co-existence with human beings in a harmonious manner. She has also generously donated her time to the running of the Jane Goodall Institute Hong Kong, aiming at developing community engagement in environmental stewardship. During her last visit to Hong Kong in 2024, she said, "We need to regain wisdom by developing a different mindset that works not just for profit or loss but that joins the head and heart, thinking about the future and not just the present."

The Hong Kong countryside is very rich in biodiversity. It is where we connect with and learn from nature. We shall work hard to nurture the seeds Dr. Goodall has sown here so that the countryside in Hong Kong would flourish and benefit our future generations.

May she rest in peace!

*2021-8-21 建立生態文明惠民生*

行政長官李家超下月中將發表2025年《施政報告》(《報告》),在政府的公眾諮詢宣傳短片中,特首表示政府「要進一步鞏固香港競爭力、發展經濟、改善民生、帶領社會改革創新、建設更美好的香港」。特首就其《報告》亦聴取了顧問團成員對三大主題的意見,即經濟發展、創新創業、區域與環球協作。此外,特首出席了地區諮詢會,以「拼經濟謀發展」和「惠民生建未來」為主題,聴取來自社會各個界別對《報告》的期望。特首其後告訴採訪地區諮詢會的傳媒,「政策要宏觀微觀兼備。宏觀方面,我們要發展經濟,但要以微觀政策改善民生」。

從以上所見,以創新創業推動產業經濟發展及改善住屋、交通、醫療服務等以惠民生,是本屆政府施政的重中之重。不過,在宏觀政策中,對香港整體發展的平衡和可持續性,尤其是消解發展產業經濟對自然生態產生的負面影響,卻未見政府有明確的立場和解說。特首經常說這政策那措施要提質、提速、提量、提效,其實生態保育也需要同等努力和投入。市民一般只關注直接影響個人日常生活的近身環境問題,區議會亦多著重優化當區的環境質量,不會費神關注區外的環境問題,故此制定和推行全港性的自然保育這項宏觀政策,政府主導的角色實是責無旁貸。反觀在國家層面,中央政府就十分重視以發展和保育「兩條腿走路」,國家主席習近平早於2005年就保育自然生態發表了「綠水青山就是金山銀山」的理論, 隨後可持續發展和建立生態文明便成為國策。......

Our Vice-chairman Mr. Roger Nissim, a veteran land administrator and experienced hiker, as guest speaker, has shared his insights in ecotourism benchmarking with the road to the revitalization of Lai Chi Wo as an example. Fourty students from local and overseas schools joined the Summer School for Global Leadership 2025 this year under the theme “Eco-Adventures for Sustainability”. They were stimulated to discuss and explore the development of eco-tourism in the local context. The students were very enthusiastic to raise questions and discuss the challenges and opportunities as to how we shape eco-tourism in our Hong Kong countryside.

Thanks to The HKFYG Leadership Institute for organizing such meaningful Summer School to empower our future leaders in sustainability and driving meaningful change within communities! “

【48小時自然偵探!解鎖荔枝窩客家文化×生態奇境】🤔🔭🔎🐞👨🏼‍🏫👀✍🏻

由香港鄉郊基金「 #鄉村為本學習」計劃資助,@可觀自然教育中心暨天文館於7月31日至8月1日舉辦了兩日一夜「觀天察地學生營」。中心的老師們將荔枝窩的夜空、海岸、農地和溪流化作「戶外教科書」,為同學們帶來了一堂難忘的擁抱自然之課。

Day 1:
# 客家盛宴
下午抵達荔枝窩並在@客家生活體驗村安頓好行裝後,可觀中心的老師與同學們前往荔枝窩原住民群英姐家中享用晚餐。群英姐精心烹製了豐富的客家佳餚款待大家,如芋頭扣肉、釀豆腐、蒲瓜蒸魚等,令師生們讚不絕口。飽餐一頓後,精彩的夜間活動隨即展開。

# 夜間眼力大考驗🌟⭐🌟
泥灘上,手電筒光束閃爍晃動,同學們正專注地搜尋著夜間活動的泥灘生物。儘管彈塗魚、招潮蟹和水蟑螂隱匿在紅樹林與蚝石之間,卻仍難逃同學們敏銳的視線,紛紛在光束下「現形」。沿著小徑前行,蟲鳴在靜謐的夜色中格外清楚。回到荔枝窩廣場時,天文老師已架好望遠鏡,並用鐳射筆引導大家辨識星辰:望向月亮右側,天蝎座尾部的「房宿三」清晰可見;抬頭仰望天穹,夏季大三角——「牛郎星」、「織女星」和「天津四」熠熠生輝。老師用鐳射筆劃出的銀河路徑弧線,更讓同學們驚嘆不已。在大家仰首尋星的歡聲笑語中,首日的活動圓滿落幕。

Day 2:
# 雜草收割者🌿🌱☘️
在群英姐家享用豐盛早餐後,同學們迎來了當日的主線任務——清除河道雜草。在農棚換上水鞋、手套,和戴上農夫帽後,手持鐮刀的同學們躍躍欲試。觀摩示範後,大家便興致勃勃地踏入河道:手起刀落,再將割下的雜草帥氣地甩向岸邊。然而,在烈日的炙烤下,原先生龍活虎的同學們被曬「謝」了,動作漸緩,汗如雨下。儘管如此,同學們最終憑藉頑強的意志力,堅持完成了這項任務。

# 水畔尋蹤💦💦💦
短暫休息後,老師向同學們分發了撈網和容器,引導他們在荔枝窩的濕田中尋找水生生物。當中心老師展示捕獲的河流生物時,同學們立刻忘記了先前的疲勞,紛紛圍攏在膠箱和透明盒子旁觀察。膠箱中游弋著最適應荔枝窩環境的米魚🐟🐟🐟,透過水下相機可見其鱗片泛著淺淺的彩光和銀輝;一旁的狡蛛則在水面靈活滑行。排列整齊的容器中,分別盛放著龍虱、蜉蝣、豆娘幼蟲等不易察覺的小生物,它們隱藏在泥絮之中,若非仔細尋找,實難發現。🕸️🕷️🕸️

# Made in Hakka
活動尾聲,同學們體驗了製作客家傳統美食——蘿蔔茶粿。茶粿以糯米為主要原料,而這次大家將從和麵開始親手製作。老師指導大家用燉煮蘿蔔絲的湯汁代替清水和麵,使麵皮更具風味。隨後,將蘿蔔絲餡料包入柔軟的麵皮中,捏成團狀,便可上鍋蒸製。同學們趁熱品嘗著自己親手製作的茶粿,對這份簡單卻美味的地道點心感到十分滿意。🥢🥟🥢

A group of F.2 students from Caritas Chong Yuet Ming Secondary School came to Lai Chi Wo for a 2D1N programme funded by the project " FROM OUR VILLAGE" ( #鄉村為本學習計劃)last week. Despite the challenges of getting wet and dirty, as well as mosquito bites, the students still carried smiles and made fun with each other.

The conservation works of Lai Chi Wo in the past 12 years enable us to requite the society and the public a variety of learning experiences in the village.
