$2.5 million donation for country park projects
A $2.5 million donation from the Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust is set to enhance the Agriculture and Fisheries Department's (AFD) educational programmes.
AFD is grateful for the donation, which will go towards the production of videos including four on the territory's country parks and one on nature conservation in Hong Kong.
AFD Assistant Director, Mr Frank Lau, said the videos would become an effective means of enhancing public awareness on Hong Kong's country parks and nature conservation.
They will be regularly screened at country park visitor centres. Free copies will also be distributed to schools and interested non-profit making organisations for educational purposes.
The production of videos will commence within the next nine months and is scheduled to be completed by the end of next year.
