On the morning of March, 10th, residents and 99 enterprises, the largest number ever, signed agreements of “adoption” with the Ningbo Urban Greening Commission, Municipal Landscaping and Gardening Bureau and the Chengguan Bureaus of the six districts to get their protection share of 250 hectares of green land and 2,324 trees. Residents brought children with them to attend the signing ceremony at Zhongshan Square, hoping that they could learn to protect green land and trees.
It was learned from the Municipal Gardening Bureau that as a major model for protecting the green, Ningbo started the practice of cooperating with enterprises to protect the green in 2004. At that time, only 16 enterprises participated and 21 hectares of green land was adopted. In 2009, 160 hectare of green land found protectors of 60 enterprises and in 2011, 227 hectare of green land were claimed for protection by residents and 92 enterprises
