《雨中啟航！慈心團隊深入加拿大，種下濕地的春天》
「下雨天，種樹天。」這句話，似乎無論走到世界哪個角落都同樣成立。
今日在加拿大愛德華王子島，低溫6度的春雨中，慈心種樹團隊與在地夥伴 Macphail Woods、月光國際基金會，共同展開濕地復育行動，種下了許多濕地特色植物，如沼澤乳草(swamp milkweed)、藍花馬鞭草 (Blue vervain)、變色鳶尾(blue flag iris)、庭菖蒲(blue-eyed grasses)，這些美麗的開花植物除了是蜜源植物可以吸引昆蟲覓食外，其中沼澤乳草更是帝王斑蝶(monarch butterfly)的食草。
這場緣分始於 2025 年，慈心受月光國際基金會邀請，跨海來到這座島嶼，協助月光國際基金會旗下土地做積極的生態保育行動。我們攜手在地專業環保組織 Macphail Woods，共同規劃了一系列長期計畫：從濕地修復、有機農田生態廊道建立，到廢耕果園的森林恢復。
今天，這趟跨國合作正式啟航！

【Setting Sail in the Rain! Tse Xin Team Roots the Hope of Spring in Canadian Wetlands】
"A rainy day is a perfect day for planting." This saying seems to hold true no matter where in the world you are.
Today, on Prince Edward Island, Canada, amidst a chilly 6°C spring rain, the Tree Planting team of Tse Xin Foundation from Taiwan joined forces with our local partners—Macphail Woods and Moonlight International Foundation—to launch a wetland restoration initiative. Together, we planted a variety of native wetland species, including Swamp Milkweed, Blue Vervain, Blue Flag Iris, and Blue-eyed Grass. These beautiful flowering plants serve as vital nectar sources for pollinators, and the Swamp Milkweed, in particular, is an essential host plant for the Monarch Butterfly.
This partnership began in 2025 when Tse Xin Foundation was invited by the Moonlight International Foundation to cross the ocean and assist in proactive ecological conservation on their land holdings. In collaboration with the local environmental experts at Macphail Woods Ecological Forestry Project, we have mapped out a series of long-term projects: wetland restoration, the creation of ecological corridors in organic farmland and forest recovery in abandoned orchards.
Today, this international collaboration has officially set sail!
