Garden Department: daily maintenance of ancient tree and name wood, nameplate, guardrail, strengthening
the ancient tree and name wood in the districts of each district, especially these ancient trees scattered in the street, the maintenance work of the ordinary area is responsible for the garden departments of each district.
Sun Guangli, the director of the famous spring Office of the gardening Bureau of the city district, said that some of the ancient trees, which were grown in urban residents' homes, villages and villagers' homes, were responsible for the maintenance work if they belonged to individuals. And the garden department has played an overall role, such as the ancient tree and name wood problems, or someone to help, report, and so on, the ancient trees have been damaged and so on, they will go to the scene and make a response.
for the growth of these ancient trees on the streets of the city, the Gardens Department is responsible for the maintenance. For example, if the nameplate of old trees is missing, we will replace it with hanging. Normally, the growth of ancient trees will be regularly visited, pruning ancient trees and observing pests and diseases. Find out the problem that is not conducive to the growth of ancient trees, and consult experts in time. Sun Guangli said. The ancient tree is a long time, especially the Sophora japonica, which often appears hollow. At this time, the garden department will also support the tree trunk with cement sealing and steel ring reinforcement in time to ensure its stability, like the old locust tree of Yongqing Street No.1 strengthened by the City Central Garden Bureau.
people call for the protection of ancient tree and name wood, which requires the whole people to participate in
the old people believe that the ancient trees are spiritually, so the old Sophora trees in the new capital of Wei Dong have the fragrant fire and the red silk ribbon. The existence of ancient trees in the city also affects the heart of the citizens, and many ancient trees in the city are in trouble because of the development of the city. Like the "brothers" of the locust trees on the road of liberation, the mud bitumen can not breathe easily and breathe.
Mr. Xu Xinji, who is very concerned about ancient trees in Ji'nan, said that the protection of ancient and famous trees needs the participation of all people, not just the responsibility of the garden department.
"now many trees are not only ancient trees, because they grow very long, they are very tall, the crown of the tree is very close to the residential buildings, and some people will cut off the branches because of the branches of their branches, or for some reason, it is a very bad behavior for the growth of the old trees. Mr. Xu said that in the city, the tall buildings would have occupied the space for the growth of the ancient trees. If the citizens did not care about it, it would be more affected by the health of the ancient trees if they did not care, and they hash the wires in the ancient trees and stacked the sundries around the trees.
