柏架山 Mount Parker
生境 Habitats
地點介紹 Site Description
柏架山位於東區，是區內最高的山峰，高532米。由於山坡陡峭，柏架山少有大型發展，故山上仍有茂密的樹林。二戰期間，部分樹林被破壞，故政府進行植林，種下不少相思樹及愛氏松。山上亦可找到香港瀕危物種香港茶。紅皮糙果茶也是於柏架山首次被發現。
2012年，柏架山自然教育中心開幕，介紹香港不同生境，亦飼養了盧氏小樹蛙、香港瘰螈等動物。
With a height of 532 metres, Mount Parker is the highest peak in Eastern District. As its sides are steep, there are fewer large development projects and thus woodlands are still abundant. During WWII, part of the forests are destroyed, leading the govenment to carry out plantation projects. Many acacia trees and slash pines were planted. In addition, Hong Kong Camellia, a rare species, can be found. The Crapnell's camellia was also first discovered on Mount Parker as well.
Mount Parker Woodside Biodiversity Education Centre opened in 2012, which provides information about habitats in Hong Kong and displays several animals such as the Romer's Tree Frog and Hong Kong Warty Newts.
