From July 20th to 27th, eight volunteers and the Million Tree Project team went to Horqin Zuoyi Houqi in Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia to carry out a week-long forest ecological survey. Despite the scorching sun and torrential rain, the volunteers stayed enthusiastic about the field work, visting 7 forests and 50 sample sites all together, and observing, learning and recording a total of 14,398 plants of 45 species.
The volunteers learned about a variety of unique plants: the formidable Cryptophyllum coarse, the beautiful Corethrodendron scoparium, and the ubiquitous Cenchrus spinifex Cav......In addition to the forest ecological survey, the volunteers also participated all kinds of activities such as vegetation coverage measurement, desertification workshop, and biodiversity workshop.
On the last day of the survey, volunteers put on the 25th anniversary T-shirts of Shanghai Roots & Shoots. The green T-shirt, which symbolizes harmony with the earth, blended with the vegetation of the forest, and the sweat of the volunteers and the hope of the green were sown on the land at this moment.
