Guandu Nature Park Introduction
Guandu Nature Park is located at the confluence of the Tamsui River and Keelung River, and has historically been an important habitat for migratory birds. After over a decade of efforts by various conservationists, Guandu Nature Park was established in 1996 (the 85th year of the Republic of China). Since December 1, 2001 (the 90th year of the Republic of China), the park has been managed by the Wild Bird Society of Taipei, as commissioned by the Taipei City Government. The main objectives of Guandu Nature Park are to conserve the wetland environment of Guandu, restore its wetland landscape, reclaim the indigenous heritage of Guandu, and educate the public about the wetland. To enhance public understanding of wetlands, the park frequently organizes diverse environmental education activities and exhibitions such as themed exhibitions, weekend lectures, parent-child DIY workshops, and camps, and supports schools in conducting various forms of environmental education, including on-site explanations and outdoor teaching. In addition to preserving the natural environment of the wetlands, the park also provides a great place for citizens and tourists to experience nature and enjoy leisure activities on weekends.
