Wood Rescue 拯救廢木行動

Eight volunteers from HKUST recently engaged in a wood rescue service initiative organized by Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden (KFBG). Within the serene environs of the botanic garden lie abundant wood logs, serving as sustainable resources for various applications. Through this program, volunteers gain insights into the diverse processes employed by KFBG to repurpose different types of wood, thereby minimizing waste. They learn to discern which logs are suitable for fertilizer production, charcoal extraction, or crafting accessories and diffuser sticks.

As part of their involvement, students participate in chopping the logs into smaller pieces, preparing them for subsequent utilization and storage. This hands-on activity not only fosters a sense of contribution but also underscores the importance of meticulous planning and methodological approaches in addressing challenges.
