Different green groups in the city are coming together to form an alliance to protect the country parks and plan to celebrate December 13 as the first "Annual Country Parks Appreciation Day".
The Save Our Country Parks Alliance said they are deeply concerned about the recent calls for developing country parks to tackle the housing shortage here.
Lam Chiu-ying, an adjunct professor in Geography and Resource Management at the Chinese University and former director of the observatory, said he hopes the initiative will remind people of the value of country parks and encourage people to go to different country parks on that day.
He told RTHK that public are urged to take photos of themselves visiting country parks and post it on the social media to send a message to the government.
