Jockey Club Tree Lovers – Discovering Green Canopy in Sham Shui Po

31/08/2025

Leading participants through Nam Cheong Park, we calculate how trees of various sizes and species impact carbon storage capacity. Participants can even transform into “little tree detectives,” observing different wood samples to deconstruct their health and growth patterns, ultimately uncovering the life story of a tree.

Theme: Trees are Good for Carbon

Total Sessions: 47

Total Participants: 961 (as of August 2025)

Participants will be guided through Nam Cheong Park to explore how trees of different sizes and species affect their carbon storage capacity. They can also become “Tree Detectives,” observing various types of wood to uncover their health and growth conditions and learn the life stories of trees.
