環保觸覺【綠步郊野2017：魔鬼山探秘之旅】義工宣傳片

徑 ‧ 香港應用程式您用過嗎? Have you tried the Trailwatch App?

徑 ‧ 香港已是第三年成為環保觸覺【綠步郊野】的綠色伙伴，以樂在山林，保護郊野為首要目標，透過智能電話應用程式，大家可以在參與【綠步郊野】的同時，分享郊野所見所聞，讓更多人愛護香港的綠色瑰寶。

TrailWatch is Green Sense Charity Hike Green Partner for three years in a row, aiming at "Enjoy, Share, Protect" the nature. By using Trailwatch app, you may enjoy the Charity Hike, share what you experience in the trail, and protect our green treasure together. 

「魔鬼山」，無論名字或該處所遺留下來的軍事碉堡，也給人一種濃厚的神秘氣息。該處在清代曾被海盜佔據，所以才被居民稱為「魔鬼山」。後來因其地理位置險要，前英軍便於山上設立砲台，所以又名「炮台山」。3月19日環保觸覺將會與大家一起登上「魔鬼山」探秘，發掘城市中的綠洲及戰事遺蹟。

是次路線位於藍田至油塘，路線屬初級，老少咸宜，適合大眾參加。由藍田公園出發，率先享受市區公園的綠化環境，拾級而上到達觀景台，參加者可遠觀曾經盛極一時的安達臣石礦場，認識昔日的石礦產業及未來石礦場的發展。

離開觀景台後，先走過地母元君廟，景觀愈見開揚，可俯瞰藍田及油塘一帶。接近配水庫綠化天台的教育站，從遠處已看到魔鬼山山頂碉堡的一角，就像等著我們來挑戰一樣。沿途中還可看見不少「愛謢大自然小提示」，每塊「小提示」的訊息也不同，不知道大家又可以找出多少？一直下山到達澳景路，過馬路後踏上衛奕信徑第三段，可從高處俯瞰九龍東部。隨後來到廣闊的觀景平台，可眺望將軍澳新市鎮及新填海位置、日出康城及將軍澳堆填區。

踏上通往山頂的山路，終於登上魔鬼山山頂，參加者可飽覽360度全方位景觀，遠眺將軍澳釣魚翁、東龍島一帶以至維港兩岸的開揚美景，當下便會感受到為何英軍會於此處設立炮台，保衛香港。站於山頂上的歷史軍事建築，被腳下現代摩登城市包圍，形成一個強烈的對比。現代城市與郊野近在咫尺，除了覺得行山交通方便外，還看見我城正急速發展。

觀賞完山頂的歷史建築及美景後，往下走便到達另一組富有廢墟特色的軍事建築。魔鬼山的軍事遺址獲評為二級歷史建築，是抗日時期的軍事要地。此歷史建築仍未納入為法定古蹟，因此受到破壞的風險比較大。在路上不乏人們對自然及建築的破壞，身處於這些歷史建築時，除了細心欣賞古蹟外，同時也要好好反思自己的行為會否為環境帶來不必要的破壞。

繼續往衛奕信徑逆走，接上馬路，沿馬路往鯉魚門方向走，便到達供途人休息的涼亭，為此路線的終點。參加者到達終點後可自行沿路徑離開，或繼續前往鯉魚門，欣賞被陽光照射而閃閃發光的海面，踏上石灘享受漁村風光，更可於美食村品嚐海鮮及中國傳統風味的餅食、糖果以結束當天的旅程。

環保觸覺－綠步郊野2017 Green Sense Charity Hike 2017

環保觸覺成立於2004年，於2010年成為註冊慈善團體。我們透過調查、監察，點出社會有違環保的現象，並把分析結果傳遞予大眾，以提高香港市民環保意識及觸覺，從而達至一個更環保的社會。本會的本地環保工作已踏入第二個十年，希望能與大眾一同堅持環保理念，並將綠色生活態度和行為推廣，令下一代的生活及生態環境得到保障。

十二年來我們為不同議題及個案發聲，包括城市規劃、節能減碳、廢物回收、保護自然生態、減用即棄餐具，改善濫用空調等等，從監察政府及公私營機構的運作是否符合環保，提出改善建議，至協助學界推動環保教育，為社會培育未來棟樑。

環保觸覺「綠步郊野2017」是本會一年一度的慈善籌款活動，旨在加強市民的自然保育意識，培育大眾對自然環境的興趣與關注。是次遠足路線位於九龍鯉魚門，拾級而上可抵達「衛奕信徑」第三段，是熱門市區遠足路段，位置三面環海，可遠眺清水灣半島及維港兩岸怡人景致。

衛奕信徑第三段經過炮台山（又稱魔鬼山 Devil’s Peak），可參觀獲評為二級歷史建築之魔鬼山軍事遺跡。登高後右方可遠眺將軍澳釣魚翁、東龍島一帶，左側更可飽覽香港島東區及九龍半島的開揚美景，實在賞心悅目。

林蔭郊野除了提供休閒康樂用途，另一主要用途就是分隔城市與郊野公園，為動植物提供天然棲息地以保育香港自然生態。本會希望參加者親身體會人類與自然是密不可分，更要響應「自己垃圾自己帶走」，避免污染和破壞我們和下一代的環境。

Green Sense established in 2004 and registered as a tax charitable exempted institution in 2010. We aim to point out the non-environmentally friendly practice in society through research and monitoring. We enhance the environmental consciousness by education and publicity, in order to ultimately achieve an environmentally friendly society, for the sake of our next generation.

In a dozen years, Green Sense opined over a hundred issues in urban planning, energy saving & reduction of carbon emission, waste recycling, protection of wildlife & ecosystem, reducing the use of disposable utensils, cessation of air conditioning abuse etc. We also monitor governmental and corporate operations and provide suggestions to improve their environmental performance. In environmental education, we promote among schools so as to nurture the youth for contributing a greener society in the future.

Green Sense Charity Hike 2017 is our annual fund-raising event, aiming in arousing public environmental awareness. Participants would enjoy the beautiful scenery in the countryside and spend a weekend joyfully, while comprehending the unique environment in Hong Kong. We select the adventure route to “Devil's Peak", in Lei Yue Mun, Kowloon. It is part of the popular “Wilson Trail” Section 3. The full view of Clearwater Bay Peninsula and Victoria Harbour comes into sight after reaching the hilltop. "Devil's Peak" is one of the Grade II historic buildings in Hong Kong. The battery and redoubt are perfectly matched with the spectacular vision. 

The countryside provides leisure and recreational area as well as the buffer between Country Parks and urban build-up. The natural environment is closely connected to human and the ecosystem and habitats should be conserved. After introducing the practice of “Take your litter home” and other green tips while hiking, participants would learn more about how and why to protect our for the sake of the future generation, both locally and globally.
