In addition, a series of green activities were organized, including tree talks and guided tree walks for CUHK and secondary school students, tree care workshops conducted by experts, as well as a campus tree photo competition. Professor Sung said, ‘The CUHK campus has 192 species of trees, making it the largest tree habitat among all university campuses in Hong Kong. As home to over a third of all tree species in the territory, the campus is a true epitome of Hong Kong’s green life.’ The three-year CU Tree Project was initiated by Dr. Hu and her student Mr. Jor and supported by the Hang Seng Bank’s ‘Green Bank’ campaign. The project aims to preserve campus trees and raise eco-awareness among CUHK staff and students, and to encourage green living. Since July 2008, the project has developed various interactive tree resources such as campus tree maps, a tree database and a catalogue system, and designed the CU Tree Trail. Different types of tree education activities were also organized.
