***About this outing***: For this second HK plant walk, we will be doing an easy hike in Tai Po Kau Nature Reserve. Our aim is to get familiar with Hong Kong’s native plants by using the Inaturalist app. We will begin with a quick overview about Inaturalist and how to make and upload an observation – by doing so, you’ll be contributing useful biodiversity data to a huge citizen science database! Then, we will wander at a comfortable pace along the shaded forest trails of the nature reserve, pausing to look more closely at plants and record what we see. Tai Po Kau is rich in interesting and unusual flora, and if we are lucky, we might spot the Hong Kong Ania, a native orchid (see picture). This event is beginner-friendly. You need moderate fitness and comfortable walking/hiking shoes (there’s a short uphill climb to start). Shoes with good grip are best as some parts of the trail are uneven and the stones can be a little slippery when it’s humid. ***About the organizer:*** I am a regular hiker, plant lover and Inaturalist ambassador. However, I am not a botanist or expert! The aim of this walk is to discover plants together, document Hong Kong’s native biodiversity and work on removing our plant blindness. ***Please***: ✔Have a true profile photo of yourself on Meetup, so that I can recognize you ✔Download the Inaturalist app on your phone before the walk and create an account ✔Have breakfast and hydrate before the hike ✔Plan your transportation to Tai Po Kau and show up on time! ***Do bring***: ✔Water or sports drink (at least 750ml) ✔ Walking/hiking shoes with decent grip ✔Mosquito repellent ✔Sun protection (hat / sunscreen / long sleeves) ✔Umbrella ***Don't***: ❌Wear inappropriate clothes/shoes (flip flops, heels) ❌Be late ❌Bring guests (all participants must sign up separately) ❌Smoke or drop litter on the trail ***Route description***: Tai Po Kau Red Walk and connecting trails ***Walk details***: Approx. 5 km with 200m climb. There is a short steep road section at the very start, but most of the walk is relatively flat and shaded. However, it could still be warm and humid. I plan to finish within 3 hours and the walk is circular - we will end the walk back at the starting point. ***Meeting time and place***: 10am at the Entrance of Tai Po Kau Nature Reserve on Tai Po Road (Tai Po Kau). I will wait near the “Tai Po Kau Nature Reserve” wooden sign. [https://maps.app.goo.gl/1tCoS38hQkFGQtZ86](https://maps.app.goo.gl/1tCoS38hQkFGQtZ86) ***Transportation info*** **By taxi or Uber** The entrance of the nature reserve is located on Tai Po road (Tai Po Kau), here: [https://maps.app.goo.gl/R19HKRNLgM1Cbq79A](https://maps.app.goo.gl/R19HKRNLgM1Cbq79A) There is a lay-by with a public sitting-out area at the nature reserve entrance. **By public transport** If taking public transport, you need to get off at the **Chung Tsai Yuen bus stop** on Tai Po road, which is a 2-minute walk from the nature reserve entrance.

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.
