Wherever possible, native species will be planted to their original sites to enrich the area’s local ecology, to enhance vicinity biodiversity, and to create a sustainable and lively environment. Meanwhile, tree logs are given a “second life”. The processed wood will return to the community in the form of furniture, construction materials and wooden chips, extending the spirit of harmony between people and nature. 續生機 綠 Vegetation Maintenance
