On the morning of March, 10th, residents and 99 enterprises, the largest number ever, signed agreements of “adoption” with the Ningbo Urban Greening Commission, Municipal Landscaping and Gardening Bureau and the Chengguan Bureaus of the six districts to get their protection share of 250 hectares of green land and 2,324 trees. Residents brought children with them to attend the signing ceremony at Zhongshan Square, hoping that they could learn to protect green land and trees.
It was learned from the Municipal Gardening Bureau that as a major model for protecting the green, Ningbo started the practice of cooperating with enterprises to protect the green in 2004. At that time, only 16 enterprises participated and 21 hectares of green land was adopted. In 2009, 160 hectare of green land found protectors of 60 enterprises and in 2011, 227 hectare of green land were claimed for protection by residents and 92 enterprises

On March 7, despite the rainy weather, people could still feel the warm atmosphere in greenhouses in Fuquanshan tea plantation located in Ningbo East Lake tourist resort, where tea-picking workers were busy picking the tender buds on the tea tree.

The Fuquanshan tea plantation is the first profit maker in this spring. Due to the rainy and cold weather this year, the spring tea grown in open farmland will arrive on markets late than usual. With a total investment of 60 million yuan, the plantation built as an agricultural technology demonstration park last year is a modern steel frame greenhouse with 5,000 square meters in area. The harvest in the greenhouse comes more than 10 days earlier than the ordinary tea plantations.

The head of the plantation said, “we only picked 15 kilograms of fresh leaves yesterday, which means we can get 5 kg fried tea. It is known that tea grown in greenhouse tastes not as good as those grown in open farm in flavor, so the price is a little bit lower. However, being so rare in market, the tea can still be priced as high as 4,000 yuan per kilogram.
