SUMMARY:Spring Tour: Long Valley Rice Paddies
DESCRIPTION:Spring Tour: Long Valley Rice Paddies\n \nSlow Food Hong Kong is excited to bring to you this spring\, in collaboration with The Conservancy Association\, an eco-tour to the rice paddies in Long Valley! The exclusive English tour will be a rare chance to learn about the production of Long Valley Eco-Rice and traditional rice farming being practised in Hong Kong. We will see how agriculture and local ecology conservation are closely connected. \nThe Conservancy Association runs the Ecopaddy Co-operative Society\, an initiative that cooperates with farmers in Long Valley to manage the paddy fields. The traditional wetland rice farming practices are followed\, yielding two harvests of rice a year (early season: Apr-Jul\, late season: Aug-Nov). The rice production involves various aspects from rice planting\, fertilizing\, harvesting\, granule drying\, rice milling to ecological monitoring. \nThe huge wetland habitat in Long Valley (塱原) and Ho Sheung Heung (河上鄉) attracts numerous wild birds and amphibians. It is one of the most important local ecological hotspots and a rural conservation landmark. The yellow-breasted bunting (禾花雀) is a key protected species of the wetland. The bird is over-exploited as game meat. With favourable habitats dramatically decreasing\, its population is dropping fast in the past decades . In 2017\, the bird was listed as Critically Endangered (CR) in the IUCN Red List. Rice farming brings the conservation that is urgently needed for the survival of the species. \n \nDetails \nDate: 7 April 2023 (Fri\, public holiday) \nTime:  1:30pm to 5:30pm (approx) \nMeeting point: Sheung Shui MTR station \nCost: \n\nHKD200 for Slow Food members\nHKD250 per person for non-members\, includes 1 year membership to Slow Food\nThe cost does not cover transportation.
