It's time to plant trees in spring
Core reading
Spring is just right, during this tree-planting season, various forms of national land greening activities have been carried out in many places.
In some places, trees are planted in the sand to carry out ecological restoration; in some places, the front and back of the house are greened, and they look forward to opening the windows to see the flowers and opening the door to see the green; in some places, deep greening is carried out in the city, and the corners and corners are not overlooked...
The "14th Five-Year Plan" outlines that the forest coverage rate during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period will reach 24.1%.
In Ningxia, Shandong, Chongqing and other places, our reporter interviewed people who were busy planting greens with their spades, and recorded the moving bits and pieces behind the greenery.
Yinchuan, Ningxia——
Thousands of people planted trees on the barren slopes, and the green sand and sea are beginning to appear
Planting seedlings, righting, filling, stepping, watering...
The spring breeze caressed, everything recovers.
Before Qing Ming, more than 1,000 volunteers from 79 units of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region came to the tree planting base of the Desert Recreation and Sports Park in Xingqing District of Yinchuan City to start the voluntary tree planting activity in the spring of 2021.
"When planting seedlings, dig deep and shallow planting, and the depth of burial is about 10 cm." At the tree planting site, there are technical instructors shuttled back and forth from time to time, explaining the tree planting process and precautions while demonstrating.
This piece of afforestation land with a vertical height of 15-30 meters from the surface of the Yellow River is covered with aeolian sandy soil and is a semi-fixed dune. As long as the wind blows, the sand will affect the surrounding areas.
Shovel the soil with a spade, help the seedlings to cover the soil and step on the soil, water the cofferdam, and the seedlings are transported and planted and watered.
The shovel fell one by one, and the green pine saplings gradually stood up. In less than half a day, 16,000 saplings were planted on the platform on the east bank of the Yellow River on the southwestern edge of the Mu Us Sandy Land.
Although Ningxia is not large, it has many landforms: mountains, basins, loess, hills, deserts, grasslands... As of the end of the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, Ningxia has completed a total of 7.698 million acres of forests, with a forest coverage rate of 2000 The 8.4% of the year increased to 15.8%.
Ningxia's change from "yellow" to "green" was hard-won.
“Before, it was all sandy, bare, and there was nothing.” The volunteer Li Yuecheng, who participated in the activity, pointed to the distance and told reporters that this area is located along the banks of the Yellow River. The ground is covered with a layer of sand and soil erosion is serious. You need to choose something suitable. Plants grown in the sand.
Over the years, it has been gradually covered by vegetation.
"For the remaining 800 acres of land, we plan to plant tree species that are easy to grow in sand, such as wolfberry trees, aronia fruit and sea buckthorn trees," said the relevant person in charge of the Ningxia Forestry and Grassland Bureau.
According to reports, in order to further build an ecological security barrier in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, Ningxia plans to complete 6 million mu of forests, 1 million mu of grassland ecological restoration, and 1.44 million mu of wetland protection and restoration during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period.
Qingdao, Shandong--
In front of and behind the house in the field, the trees and flowers are fragrant
"The flower seedlings are really here!" One spring morning in Shananzhuang Village, Licha Town, Jiaozhou City, Shandong Province, the villager Li Chuchen was busy in the flower pond in front of his house.
Swinging a spade to cultivate soil, watering and fixing roots... Within an hour, in the bare flower pond, a row of pink and pink rose seedlings, with flower bones, stood upright in the wind.
"Last year, the town deliberately informed every household to leave a flower pond at the door, and plant flowers at that time." With a hoe in his hand, Chuchen Li opened the chatterbox.
It turned out that in order to solve the problem of the lack of green space in the village, Licha Town made a plan when implementing the hardening road between households. Flower ponds were reserved in front of and behind the house, and seedlings were planted uniformly.
Starting from this year’s Arbor Day, Licha Town will send rose seedlings with six or seven colors to villagers’ homes in batches.
There were also 100 red-leaf photinia and other greening trees sent to Shananzhuang Village with the rose.
"Now that every household has a flower pond, it's very different!" Chuchen Li said with emotion, "When the rose blooms in May, you can see flowers when you open the windows and green when you open the doors!"
Buffalo Village, Jiaobei Street, Jiaozhou City, is also a busy scene.
The village party branch secretary Zhao Liyu is leading the villagers to replant crabapple trees on the North and South Streets, shoveling, picking, planting, and watering... "In the past, there were few trees in the village, and the wind was all over the soil, and the rain was all over the mud." "Zhao Liyu told reporters that in the past few years, Jiaozhou City launched the "Send You A Happiness Tree" campaign, and more and more trees were planted in the village. "Now, the village is getting greener and more beautiful!"
In recent years, Jiaozhou City has carried out the "village greening and upgrading" campaign, and small villages have also changed their appearance.
According to reports, since 2019, the local government has hired professional greening companies to design, construct, and maintain 42 villages in the form of services purchased by the government. "See the space to make up the green, see the seam to insert the green."
From the front of the house to the back of the house, from the side of the road to the side of the village, the greenery became thicker and thicker, and these small villages gradually changed their appearance.
Jiaozhou’s attempt is also a microcosm of Shandong Province’s promotion of rural greening and beautification.
In recent years, all parts of Shandong have deeply promoted the "Green Qilu·Beautiful Shandong" land greening campaign. At present, the province-level forest towns and villages in Shandong have reached 158 and 1,530 respectively.
In the next step, Shandong will further organize and implement rural greening and beautification actions to promote continuous improvement of the level of rural greening and beautification.
Chongqing Jiangbei——
Three-dimensional greening in the city, slopes become "tapestry"
The mountain city of Chongqing has a bright spring.
On a slope on Fuyou Road, Shimahe Street, Jiangbei District, a group of workers in green overalls are bending over and busy.
The worker Xiong Yuhua hunched his body, carrying a hoe, and smashed it into the soil.
Sweat oozes from his forehead and drips into the ground.
Worker Liu Chaowen patted him on the shoulder, and handed him a hat, "Old Xiong, put on the hat and take a breath." "It's okay, hurry up and dig!" Xiong Yuhua replied.
Everyone worked together to level the ground and pick out big rocks and dead branches.
In Jiangbei District, there are many similar scenes.
On the slopes of Hongbin Road, the green workers sow sulphur chrysanthemum and yellow locust, sort out the green weeds, and water the newly planted green plants; beside a community on Haier Road, workers line up in a line, like a manual conveyor belt, carrying flower seedlings , Safflower and green leaves are "hanging" on the slope.
As a typical mountain city, Chongqing is surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by rivers and gorges.
Due to the large height difference in urban space, the urban area has accumulated a large amount of unusable idle land and corner land.
In the past, these slopes, ridges, and cliffs widely distributed in the junctions of urban bridges and tunnels, and along the main roads of the city became green blank areas, affecting the quality of the urban ecological environment.
"Although the cost of governance in these places is high, it has also become an important'growth point' for us to further promote greening." The person in charge of the Jiangbei District Urban Management Bureau said that in recent years, Jiangbei District has specially formulated the implementation plan for the greening and beautification of Pokanya. , Focus on promoting the greening and beautification of slopes and cliffs around three-dimensional greening, waterfront ecological restoration, mountain sports, and urban unused land remediation.
According to reports, during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, Chongqing will coordinate rural revitalization and urban upgrading, and improve the quality of space around the citizens such as sidewalks, corners, slopes and cliffs, and create a beautiful city where those who are near are happy, those who are far away come.
Cities are more livable, and people’s lives are better.
"Before, it was a barren slope with weeds everywhere!" The 57-year-old Wang Yuehua lives next to Shanshui Beibin Park. What he didn't expect is that after several years of greening construction, this place has now become a "net celebrity check-in place". , "Now I have to go for a walk in the park every day, and I feel more comfortable now!"
