CAA (Professionals) — CUGE-SEM-8014 Greenery Regulations and Policies for Developments in Singapore (新加坡綠化政策講座)

adminUncategorized

CAA (Professionals) --- CUGE-SEM-8014 Greenery Regulations and Policies for Developments in Singapore (新加坡綠化政策講座) :

會員們:

本會的前身叫 “國際樹木學會中華地區分會” ，在2004年成立的時候，大中華地區還沒有正規的樹藝行業出現。 “樹藝師” 和 “攀樹師” 這些銜頭，也是由歐會長自我發明創造出來，在他之前從來沒有人這樣子叫，這些都是事實，有跡可循。

當年的香港綠化，包括樹木的設計、種植和護理，由於沒有樹藝師的出現，主要是由景觀師、保育團體和園藝工程人員把持。 當時要把樹藝行業在衆多競爭對手當中帶出來，本會可謂是與狼共舞，螳臂當車。 樹藝行業後來從香港開始，擴散到澳門、台灣和中國大陸，現在轉過頭來看，確實來之不易，本會的努力，無法淹滅。

在當時的香港，由於行業剛剛起步，而傳統綠化行業則已根深蒂固，為了打破困局，本會想到向外取經，而在香港鄰近、能以中英語溝通、綠化水平 (特別是在樹木種植)都已經達到國際先進水平的國家，首選就是新加坡，捨其為誰？

為此，本會用了差不多一年的時間去作出各方準備，通過重重困難，竭而不捨，終於在2006年的二月份，能夠在香港組團，前往拜訪新加坡國立公園局 (Nparks)，並獲得了盛大接待，Nparks也大方無私的介紹了新加坡在綠化和樹木種植各方面所取得的成就，令參團人員眼界大開，百聞不如一見，留下了深刻印象。

在回到香港後，本會開始整集資料，用英語 (由於洋人要看) 寫出了簡拙報告，可以從以下連結取得：

https://www.dropbox.com/s/nibtdvf95zplknw/ISA%20HKChina%20%28Professionals%29%20---%20The%20Singapore%20experience%2013.2.2006.msg?dl=0

當年所知，其中一個重點就是，新加坡奉行綠化工程主由 建築師/工程師 來當主管，下面分成五個部份，分別是：

1. 樹藝師
2. 景觀師
3. 園藝師
4. 草坪師
5. 灌溉師

五個專業平等對待，不出現一方獨大，同時服務於 建築師/工程師 之下，各自發揮所長，河水不犯井水。 舉例說，當年聽到的 “路樹管理處” 當中的組成部份有大概五十名的樹藝師、兩名景觀師、一名園藝師等等，佈局合理，也人盡其才。

可惜的是當這報告在香港一出之後，不到幾天，馬上就有具勢力人仕打電話直接到歐會長的手機，認為如此把新加坡的做法公佈出去，會令香港某些綠化行業的人看上去不是味兒，甚至反感，所以要求歐會長要 “自我修正” 並公諸於世，否則 .....

當年的樹藝行業正在起步，香港是個開始點，而傳統綠化在香港已經根深蒂固，發展了差不多三十年； 同時，本會也正在積極推廣 ‘國際樹木學會’ 和其樹藝師牌照，一切都在起跑線。 在那個時候歐會長蒙受巨大壓力，在思前想後平衡正義和現實之後，斷定忍無可忍都要忍，不能搞對抗，否則小不忍則亂大謀，所以唯有裝傻扮笨，重新再發另一會訊去 “自我檢討” 一番，犧牲小我，去成全大我吧，往事也 …..

十年過去了，難得本會突然收到新加坡國政府發出了電郵，舉辦一次 “新加坡綠化政策講座” ，全由高級官員來闡述當地多年行之有效的綠化政策和前瞻，也完全對外開放，確實機會難逢。 講座的內容和報名方法在本段信息之下登列，講座費用也是半賣半送的 SGD 64.20，全程以英語講出，歐會長已經率先報名了。 本會也同時放上兩項新加坡政府訓練當地樹藝師的課程，不妨也與自己的比較一下吧。

臨淵羨魚、不如退而結網。 經常說自己是多好多美，敢比較嗎？ 比較不是硬道理？ 那又何必舉辦甚麼錦標賽和運動會呢？ 還是夜朗自大，自我陶醉？ 本會這次要去新加坡為的是要比較和學習，不做井底蛙，知恥近乎勇也。

會員們，新加坡見 !

謹此致意!

会员们:

本会的前身叫 “国际树木学会中华地区分会” ，在2004年成立的时候，大中华地区还没有正规的树艺行业出现。 “树艺师” 和 “攀树师” 这些衔头，也是由欧会长自我发明创造出来，在他之前从来没有人这样子叫，这些都是事实，有迹可循。

当年的香港绿化，包括树木的设计、种植和护理，由於没有树艺师的出现，主要是由景观师、保育团体和园艺工程人员把持。 当时要把树艺行业在衆多竞争对手当中带出来，本会可谓是与狼共舞，螳臂当车。 树艺行业後来从香港开始，扩散到澳门、台湾和中国大陆，现在转过头来看，确实来之不易，本会的努力，无法淹灭。

在当时的香港，由於行业刚刚起步，而传统绿化行业则已根深蒂固，为了打破困局，本会想到向外取经，而在香港邻近、能以中英语沟通、绿化水平 (特别是在树木种植)都已经达到国际先进水平的国家，首选就是新加坡，捨其为谁？

为此，本会用了差不多一年的时间去作出各方準备，通过重重困难，竭而不捨，终於在2006年的二月份，能够在香港组团，前往拜访新加坡国立公园局 (Nparks)，并获得了盛大接待，Nparks也大方无私的介绍了新加坡在绿化和树木种植各方面所取得的成就，令参团人员眼界大开，百闻不如一见，留下了深刻印象。

在回到香港後，本会开始整集资料，用英语 (由於洋人要看) 写出了简拙报告，可以从以下连结取得：

https://www.dropbox.com/s/nibtdvf95zplknw/ISA%20HKChina%20%28Professionals%29%20---%20The%20Singapore%20experience%2013.2.2006.msg?dl=0

当年所知，其中一个重点就是，新加坡奉行绿化工程主由 建築师/工程师 来当主管，下面分成五个部份，分别是：

1. 树艺师
2. 景观师
3. 园艺师
4. 草坪师
5. 灌溉师

五个专业平等对待，不出现一方独大，同时服务於 建築师/工程师 之下，各自发挥所长，河水不犯井水。 举例说，当年听到的 “路树管理处” 当中的组成部份有大概五十名的树艺师、两名景观师、一名园艺师等等，佈局合理，也人尽其才。

可惜的是当这报告在香港一出之後，不到几天，马上就有具势力人仕打电话直接到欧会长的手机，认为如此把新加坡的做法公佈出去，会令香港某些绿化行业的人看上去不是味儿，甚至反感，所以要求欧会长要 “自我修正” 并公诸於世，否则 …..

当年的树艺行业正在起步，香港是个开始点，而传统绿化在香港已经根深蒂固，发展了差不多叁十年； 同时，本会也正在积极推广 ‘国际树木学会’ 和其树艺师牌照，一切都在起跑线。 在那个时候欧会长蒙受巨大压力，在思前想後平衡正义和现实之後，断定忍无可忍都要忍，不能搞对抗，否则小不忍则乱大谋，所以唯有装傻扮笨，重新再发另一会讯去 “自我检讨” 一番，牺牲小我，去成全大我吧，往事也 …..

十年过去了，难得本会突然收到新加坡国政府发出了电邮，举办一次 “新加坡绿化政策讲座” ，全由高级官员来阐述当地多年行之有效的绿化政策和前瞻，也完全对外开放，确实机会难逢。 讲座的内容和报名方法在本段信息之下登列，讲座费用也是半卖半送的 SGD 64.20，全程以英语讲出，欧会长已经率先报名了。 本会也同时放上两项新加坡政府训练当地树艺师的课程，不妨也与自己的比较一下吧。

临渊羡鱼、不如退而结网。 经常说自己是多好多美，敢比较吗？ 比较不是硬道理？ 那又何必举办甚麽锦标赛和运动会呢？ 还是夜朗自大，自我陶醉？ 本会这次要去新加坡为的是要比较和学习，不做井底蛙，知耻近乎勇也。

会员们，新加坡见 !
