Biology Department & Eco-Ambassadors: Local Eco-Field Trips | Stepping into the "Nature Classroom" to Explore Blue-Green Ecology

Date: 15/09/2026

 

From May through the summer break, our school's Biology Department and Eco-Ambassadors organized three exciting local eco-tours and field studies. Students stepped out of the classroom to personally explore Hong Kong's precious natural resources and reflect on the close relationship between humans and nature.

 

Our journey spanned land, wetlands, and the ocean:

 

1. Long Valley Nature Park

Students ventured into the Long Valley wetlands to gain a deeper understanding of local wetland conservation and traditional farming practices. In addition to learning methods to control invasive species like the Golden Apple Snail, students also had the opportunity to observe migratory birds, realizing the crucial importance of maintaining ecological balance and protecting the environment.

 

2. Hoi Ha Wan Coral Exploration Journey

At Hoi Ha Wan, students experienced a day in the life of a "marine biologist," using various scientific instruments to investigate how seawater properties affect marine life. They also boarded a glass-bottom boat to observe corals firsthand, gaining a direct understanding of the current survival status of Hong Kong's corals and the urgency of marine conservation.

 

3. Shui Hau, Lantau Island — " Grandma’s Mystery" Eco-Fieldwork Real-Life Puzzle Game

Breaking away from traditional field trips, this activity used the natural ecosystem of Shui Hau as a backdrop. Through an engaging real-life puzzle game and field exploration, students learned about the rich culture, plant life, and intertidal organisms of Shui Hau. Students not only admired the "Mirror of the Sky"—Shui Hau Sandflat—but also pondered the symbiotic relationship between humans and nature, exploring sustainable development in Lantau Island.

 

Through these three field observations and hands-on experiences, students broadened their scientific and ecological horizons while raising their awareness of environmental protection and sustainability. We hope our RCPHKMC students can apply what they have learned to their daily lives and work together to build a greener community!
