[Ecological and environmental protection] When northeast monsoon meets windbreak forest
2022 / 07 / 01
Mailiao is known as the place where the water ends and the wind begins. Even though winter is only from October to February, the sea wind and blown sand with high salinity has caused considerable damage. After local enterprises in Yunlin planted a windbreak forest, the 230 hectare windbreak forest and greening area of 515 hectares is about 26 times the size of Da'an Forest Park, providing an extra layer of protection that has allowed the successful development of agriculture and fisheries. This has allowed students in Xucuo Branch School, which is located in the coastal area, to grow without any worries. The coastal forest is pleasant throughout the year.
