Gemtek Springs into Action on 9/7 Mile-a-Minute National Weed Control Day
The Mile-a-Minute Weed is a fast-spreading invasive species known for its aggressive vines. Its sprawling patches harm other plants by blocking their access to light, which affects photosynthesis and ultimately kills them—earning it the nickname "ecological killer." Gemtek volunteers teamed up to visit Taiwan's first environmental trust, Nature Valley, where they successfully cleared away 77.8 kilograms of this invasive weed, along with 2.4 kilograms of other waste.
During the event, a guide introduced us to various Taiwanese fern species found in the area, and we even got to make moss balls by hand. Through this activity, we learned that Taiwan has the highest density of fern species in the world, thanks to its favorable climate and environment. It was a rewarding experience to join forces with volunteers to help protect our beautiful environment and promote sustainability!
