Dun Pin High School

Implementation Program of Phase I of Ecology Education Park

 I. Background

The Mother Nature has been in constant destruction due to global

warming.  Relation between men and nature must be rebuilt.  To reduce

hazardous substances and protect our beautiful homeland, the school has

ecology education park to teach students principles of to harvest before

you gain through organic sweet grasses, flowers, vegetables and fruits. 

Students will learn to coexist peacefully with Mother Nature and all

faculty members will understand meaning of life education.

II. Foundation

   Fajiaojuezhi #0980903198 on 19 November 2009 by Ministry of Justice

   and promotion of Correction Institution Life Education Program

  III. Goals

         Students at the school study organic farming skills and engage in

         agriculture training to remove the bad habits of being indolent and have

         working attitude of diligence.  This will help them better adapt to the

         society in further study or employment after leaving the school.

         After soil preparation, soil and water quality inspection, we understand

         how pollutions are from to meet basic elements of planting—sunshine,

         water and soil.  We have organic fertilization and diatomite, remove

         insects with enzyme and plant various sweet grasses, vegetables, fruits and

         flowers.  Ripe organic vegetables and fruits will be foods for our students. 

         Sweet grasses can be made into tea or fragrance in baking class or make

         office and classrooms a better place.

     We train our students to treasure the hometown and pay attention to

        environmental protection to experience the way of you get consequences

        from what you do.  Life does not stop.  Students shall encourage

        themselves regardless of earlier mistakes.  Once they leave the school, they

        can be confident and do good deeds to the society.

         IV. Target

 Students at Xiao 1^st and Xiao 2^nd classes

V. Period

 1 January through 31 December 2010

VI. Scope

 Flower beds of Xiao 1^st and Xiao 2^nd classes in Phase I, total square measure

at 498 square meters 

VII. Implementation steps

 The major purpose of organic planting is to return to nature and restore

the lands to the original status.  The preparation includes soil and water

source analysis before planting.

A. Soil analysis

We had soil samples on 14 August from the two classes and sent to Taoyuan District Agricultural Research and Extension Station, COA, Executive for inspection.  The results on 4 September show that content of lead and zinc is too high and organic planting is not possible (Annex I for inspection report).

 B. Water source analysis

 We sent underground water sample to Environment Protection Bureau, Taoyuan County Government on 23 September 2009.  Inspection report on 6 October 2009 shows the water was normal (inspection report in Annex II).

     C. Soil improvement program

          We bought qualified soil after inspection for vegetables, sweet grasses, fruits and flowers and expected to cover current planting land with 20 cm thick (around 75 cubic meters) qualify soil.

 We arranged soil, added organic substances, planned water supply and

drainage facilities, and planted organic vegetables and plants in season, with

good adaptation and fighting against blight.

   VIII. Eco

 IX. Course details

   1. Cultivator driving skills

2. Skills to plant organic leaf plants

3. Organic compost and organic plant blight prevention

To sample soil for analysis in order to understand soil physical property and    fertilizer power as foundation of soil fertilizer management, appropriate crop rotation, indirect green fertilizers or appropriate fallowing to maintain and enhance land power

 5. Blight prevention management

   Crop rotation and other cultivation, physical prevention, biological prevention,

   plant conflict or co-prospering plants and natural material prevention in

   general prevention to prevent from blight

   XI. Expected effects

Annual output is 500 kg of vegetables and fruits for students at the school.

Students understood the reason of to harvest before to gain and experience

 and meaning of life education.
