Leave wild plants alone

Outdoor activities have become very popular in recent years. In addition to hiking and camping, Trailwalker and cross country running are also events that Hong Kong people really love. When you are out in nature, you’ll see plants that look just like edible fruits and vegetables; but even if you think you know what they are, don’t eat them!

Listen now as a Green Volunteer teaches you how to identify other poisonous plants found in the wild!
