IAM removes vines in Guia Hill to maintain forests
Typhoons in recent years have caused serious damage to the mountain forests in Macao and accelerated the growth of vines that subsequently cover a large area of mountain forests, affecting the normal growth of trees and making the natural regeneration of forest areas impossible. Therefore, the Municipal Affairs Bureau (IAM) carries out forest restoration work in sequence, including the recent work to remove Hypserpa nitida, kudzu vine, love-vine and invasive alien species such as railway creeper and bitter vine, as well as some dead trees and domestic waste. Preliminary work of tree planting, such as digging tree holes, backfilling with external soil and soil improvement, will be carried out depending on the conditions of the surrounding forest areas of Guia Hill after removing the vines.
