Volunteering @Fung Yuen Butterfly Reserve 服務在鳳園 (Nov 2026)

Volunteering@Fung Yuen Butterfly Reserve invites you to connect with nature and protect a vital sanctuary. Through hands-on conservation work—including removing invasive Mikania vines, and assisting with essential site upkeep like weeding and clearing debris—you will make a direct, lasting impact on this unique habitat. To round out the experience, professional guides will lead an exclusive tour, sharing fascinating insights into Fung Yuen's diverse and beautiful butterfly species.

As a special arrangement for participants, one-way transportation from HKUST Campus to Fung Yuen Butterfly Reserve will be provided.

服務在鳳園旨在通過清潔保護區等活動，親近大自然並保護蝴蝶棲息地。透過各項動手保育工作，包括清除外來入侵植物薇甘菊（Mikania），以及除草和清理雜物等場地維護，你可親身體驗及參與棲息地保育項目。此外，專業導賞員將帶領參觀，介紹鳳園的蝴蝶品種與了解保育蝴蝶的重要性，為本地蝴蝶保育工作出一份力。

為方便參加者前往活動地點，將特別安排由香港科技大學校園前往鳳園蝴蝶保育區的單程交通。
