(Central News Agency reporter Lu Gangjun, Hsinchu City, 6th) Chung Hua University, in collaboration with an enterprise, has promoted the 'USR×CSR Green Commitment' project. Through parent-child tree planting activities involving employees and their families, the university has successfully transformed a idle and abandoned tea plantation in Xinpu Township, Hsinchu County, into an ecological forest and environmental education site, demonstrating the results of the university's social responsibility efforts.
Chen Xiangyuan, CEO of the USR Strategy at Chung Hua University, told a Central News Agency reporter that the school has been promoting the Ministry of Education's University Social Responsibility (USR) project since 2017 (Minguo year 106), combining professional expertise to improve community environments. This project, supported by three years of funding from Huang Chang Construction Co., collaborates with the community to regenerate the abandoned tea plantation into an ecological site, realizing the public welfare goal of industry-academia co-creation.
To deepen corporate participation, Chen said the team has planned diverse activities such as ecological guided tours, sapling planting, and community light travel, leading corporate employees to actively engage in forest cultivation. Additionally, themed workshops are held at the persimmon cake park, combining Hakka culture explanations and persimmon dyeing experiences, allowing participants to appreciate Xinpu's industrial characteristics and historical context.
Chen pointed out that this tree-planting initiative adopted a parent-child co-learning format, attracting employees to participate with their families, symbolizing that green concepts have extended to households. Currently, the collaboration has resulted in the planting of nearly 990 trees and shrubs, with ongoing maintenance of over 700 existing trees. Forest restoration is showing results, and the green commitment is being gradually realized.
Chung Hua University stated in a written statement that this project allows students to cultivate cross-disciplinary integration skills in real-world settings and deepen their humanistic care and sustainable thinking. In the future, the university will continue to combine corporate and community resources to cultivate talent with both professional skills and social responsibility, injecting new momentum into local revitalization and sustainable development.
