On the afternoon of April 10th, Lanzhou University's Collaborative Innovation Center for Western Ecological Security (hereinafter referred to as the Center) organized a public welfare activity of planting trees in Babu Sand. A total of 24 volunteers from Lanzhou University's College of Atmospheric Sciences, College of Resources and Environment, and College of Life Sciences participated in the activity.
During the activity, the teachers and students actively participated and were full of energy. Under the guidance of Master Shi Yinshan, who is in charge of the forest farm, we cooperated with each other to dig tree holes, plant trees, water, and plant white elm seedlings, hoping to make a little contribution to the sand prevention and control work of Babu Sha.
Before the planting activity, we visited the Babu Sha Memorial Hall to control sand, and carefully understood the story of three generations of Babu Sha "Six Old Han" to control sand, and learned their spirit of contemporary Yugong who did not bow in the face of difficulties and dared to turn the desert into oasis.
Visiting the Ba Busha Six Old Man Sand Control Memorial Hall
Through participating in this activity, we personally experienced the hard work and difficulty of sand control and afforestation, deeply felt the importance of a safe and good ecological environment to human production and life, and earnestly understood the spirit of green development concept that "clear water and green mountains are golden hills and silver mountains". Professor Huang Jianping, director of the center, said that tree-planting activities can raise people's awareness of ecological security, and he hopes that such activities will continue to be organized in the future to contribute to the construction of ecological security barriers in China.
