Tai Po Tree Walk

60 S.2 students participated in Tai Po Tree Walk on 5 July 2012. The trip was guided by Mr. George Jor, Convenor of CU Tree Project. Together with his colleagues, Ms. Boman Ho and Mr. Ng Man-kwong, Mr. Jor explained the peculiar features and classification of the wood in Kadoorie Farm & Botanic Garden and Tai Po Lam Tsuen.
