The "Recreating Taiwan's Native Greenery" tree-planting event, jointly organized by the Keelung City Government and the Luodong Forest District Office of the Forestry Bureau under the Council of Agriculture, Executive Yuan, kicked off lively yesterday (the 11th) by the Tianliao River, with many citizens bringing their families to take part. The queue of people holding receipts to exchange for seedlings stretched dozens of meters long. Keelung Mayor Lin Yu-chang led the planting of a "Barringtonia racemosa" (freshwater mangrove), and stated that the Tianliao Riverbank Park is about to be completed, and the surrounding living environment will be further improved.

Mayor Lin Yu-chang stated that the city government holds tree-planting events in the hope that citizens will all do their part for the Earth together. In addition to tree-planting activities, seedlings are also distributed, and he hopes citizens will work together to increase green space. In addition, the Animal Protection Office also organized pet adoptions, microchip implantation and vaccinations, and he hopes everyone will make good use of these services.

The Keelung City Economic Development Department stated that at this event, the Keelung City Government and distinguished guests from various sectors jointly planted 10 Barringtonia racemosa trees, and demonstrated the basic techniques for beautifying and planting seedlings. Various city government units and the Keelung Branch of the National Taxation Bureau also set up booths to conduct policy advocacy, allowing participating citizens to exchange receipts for seedlings or policy advocacy items. Everyone is encouraged to plant the seedlings in their homes or communities to jointly create a comfortable living environment.
