Event Information
While most Hong Kong people are busy with work every day, they do not realize that the surrounding environment has been gradually threatened by “Environmental Monsters”! Do you want to see our Old & Valuable Trees (OVTs), crystal clear streams and fresh air slowly disappears? We need you to become one of our "Eco-Rangers" to defend the precious ecological resources of Hong Kong by wiping out these “Environmental Monsters”!
If you consider yourself courageous and prudent, become an "Eco-Ranger" now and defend our ecology! Challenge the monsters in an orienteering competition at Tai Lam Country Park (Ngau Liu) on October 30 and safeguard our planet!

It takes a lot away from the community but it never gives back. |
