屏東科技大學農學院森林系團隊在109年9月16日,於潮州國小進行受保護樹木保育及入侵植物防治環境教育宣導活動,課程內容包含受保護樹木及入侵植物的基本認識,以及讓師生體驗受保護樹木的調查流程以及健康檢測,包含使用傳統儀器測量樹木的胸徑及樹高進行基本調查,以及操作罕見的非破壞性檢測儀器─敲擊式音波檢測儀與數位探針儀,透過儀器的操作使用可引起師生興趣外,對於樹木健康檢測可以更加瞭解。

「十年樹木,百年樹人」,森林系團隊協助屏東縣政府進行受保護樹木普查並導入智慧林業儀器作業,除了體現屏科大「科技農業」的精神外,更透過對國小師生辦理教育宣導活動,實現讓護樹觀念向下扎根的社會責任。

On September 16, 2020, the Department of Forestry of the College of Agriculture of National Pingtung University of Science and Technology (NPUST) carried out environmental education and promotion activities on protected trees conservation and invasive plant control in Chaozhou Elementary School (潮州國小). The course content included the basic understanding of protected trees and invasive plants, and let teachers and students experience the investigation process and health inspection of protected trees, including the use of traditional instruments to measure the diameter and height of trees for basic investigations, and the operation of rare non-destructive inspection instruments—percussion sonic detectors and digital probes. In addition to engaging teachers and students with the operation and use of the instrument, they can also learn more about tree health testing.

“It takes ten years to grow a tree, but a hundred years to bring up a generation of good man”, the Department of Forestry assisted the Pingtung County Government in conducting a census of protected trees and introducing smart forestry equipment. In addition to embodying the NPUST’s spirit of “High-Tech Agriculture”, training courses and promotion activities were held to realize the social responsibility of educating people about the concept of tree protection.
