Tree planting is a process involving multiple parties, with government, businesses, and even local communities having their own ideas. Enterprises’ corporate social responsibility departments each have their own orientations, with some focusing on quantity, some on ecological regeneration, and some on interaction with the community. For example, the outdoor wearable GPS device maker Garmin, which has a factory in Taoyuan, hoped to work with local schools and communities. The company wanted to integrate environmental education into their tree planting activities, in order to build a commitment to post-planting maintenance and sustainability among local people. It is estimated that Taiwan still has room for planting an additional 2.7 million trees, not to fill all that space with trees, but rather to utilize the unique features of each piece of land.
