The site of reconstruction in south – eastern
corner of campus nearby Neu-Cha-Wan creek was originally
fish ponds before the properties were transferred to
our university. After nearly twenty years of abandon
fishery operation the site now become a lowland ecological
environment and attract many different species of plant
and animals inhabit into the area. Along side the lowland
existed bamboo community planted on the slope region
for soil and water conservation purposes. All together
this area has become a best potential outdoor exhibition
site for biodiversity and ecology. However, presently
in the lowland area is predominately occupied by paragraph
which may slow down the future development of the composition
of bio-organisms within the area. The purposes of this
project are to reconstruct the topology and plant composition
in the lowland, to provide a outdoor classroom for environment
and ecology education, to enrich the biodiversity of
plants and animals in the area, and to establish our
campus as a central education base for adjacent neighborhood.
The geological distribution of this
site is located in the midway for many migration birds
and geese. The soil and water conservation program in
this area can surely protect the lowland ecology so
it can now inhabited many plants and animals, such as
reptiles, birds and lamp bugs. The vegetation is composed
of native trees, mushrooms etc. Walking or strolling
in the area can enjoy and increase knowledge on the
plants and animals.
This reconstruction project will first complete the
changes of the landscape on the entire region. Then,
new wetland vegetation of different local species will
be installed. Woody trees of diverse character will
also be planted to attract more insects ( such as butterfly
) and birds. So, the enrich of the biodiversity and
ecology will be established. With the concept of sustainable
management on campus, the investigation on bio-organism
succession will be carried out by professors and students
in associate field and data can be reported onsite for
educational purposes. The protection program of this
area will be carried out by maintain group on the campus
and research project can also be conducted to enrich
the knowledge on ecology. Above all, a new and finer
quality of environment will appear on campus and can
be shared for all people around the region.
