2018年6月份見識之旅縮影 　　6月份見識之旅活動，於2018年6月9日由呂明澐小姐帶領12位祐生見習生及家長們，進行大樹鳳梨原鄉暨農情覓藝生態體驗之旅。出發當日天氣晴朗，見習生們及其家長皆準時集合並出發。活動開始之初，領隊呂明澐小姐提醒本次活動注意事項及觀察重點，先行建立見習生的背景知識。 　　For the study tour of June 9, 2018, Ms. Lu Ming-yun led 12 ARF interns and their parents on an eco-tour to visit the place of origin of pineapples and discover rural art in Dashu. It was sunny on the day of tour, and the interns and their parents were on time for the departure. At the start of the day's activities, team leader Ms. Lu Ming-yun reminded everyone about things to note and what to observe, and gave the interns some background knowledge. 　　本次上午行程參訪華一休閒農場，由在地居民擔任導覽人員。導覽人員首先介紹園區環境，說明該農場不僅以乳羊生態為主軸，亦積極復育甲蟲，讓民眾擁有多樣的生態體驗，並帶領眾人至光臘樹群中觀察獨角仙。隨後前往羊舍區，導覽人員詳細介紹園區中飼養的乳羊品種及其特徵習性，並以產乳量與品質比較其中差異，緊接著現擠羊奶給予眾人品嚐，解釋為何一般市售羊奶多有腥味的原因。離開農場後，乘車前往龍目社區，抵達後即享用在地風味餐。飯後，實地走訪社區，導覽人員介紹馬路旁的渠道係高屏溪支流所經之處，為維持河床清潔，另於河床兩邊修築水溝，將溪水與生活污水分離。此外，亦說明龍目社區自古以水質甘美著稱，至今居民生活用水仍使用該地湧出的山泉水，接著帶領眾人前往昔日村莊主要水源「龍目井」，雖現今已不在此處取水，卻仍是重要地標。 　　The morning's itinerary brought everyone to Lin's Farm where a local resident acted as tour guide. She started by introducing the farm environment, explaining that the farm not only features dairy goat ecology but also the active restoration of the beetle population, giving the public a more diverse ecological experience. The guide also brought everyone to a group of Formosan Ash trees (Fraxinus griffithii) to observe the Japanese rhinoceros beetles (Allomyrina dichotoma). Next, everyone went to the goat barn where the guide introduced the species of dairy goat at the farm and their characteristics and habit, and the comparison of milk yield and quality. The guide gave everyone a taste of freshly drawn goat milk and explained the reason why most goat milk sold in the market taste "goaty". After leaving the farm, everyone took the bus to Longmu community for a delicious lunch of local specialties and a tour of the community. The guides explained that the water flowing in the ditches on the sides of the roads is from branches of the Gaoping River. To keep the river bed clean, drains are built on both sides of the river bed to separate river water and household sewage. Since ancient times, Longmu community has been known for the natural sweetness of its water and local residents still use water from the local mountain spring. The guide showed everyone the "Longmu well" which provided the main source of water to the village in the past. It remains an important landmark although water is no longer drawn here. 　　隨後步行至磚雕故事牆，導覽人員講述大樹區素來以窯燒技術聞名，牆上呈現的磚雕藝術，係以「窯前雕」的技法，將傳統農村生活及宗教慶典刻劃出來，並補充另一磚雕工法「窯後雕」，兩種不同工序技法，更能呈現多樣的磚雕藝術特點。行程最後，進行鳳梨採果體驗，導覽人員首先以圖片解說鳳梨植株之莖葉、花及果實萌發的部位，並詳述農人用何種方式繁殖鳳梨，以及運用鳳梨生長特性，以「電石」（碳化鈣）催花，控制產期達到全年可採收。在教導眾人採摘方法及如何判定是否成熟後，即開始採果，見習生們皆首次親身接觸鳳梨田，個個玩得不亦樂乎。至此，本日活動已近尾聲，大家一起合照留念後搭車返程，並期待於下次見識之旅再相見。 　　When everyone walked past a brick-carved story wall, the guide said that the Dashu area is known for its kilning techniques. The brick carving on the wall was created using the "carving before firing" method to portray traditional farming life and religious festivals, and supplemented with the "carving after firing" method to display the diversity of the art. The final part of the tour was pineapple picking. The guide began by showing pictures of the stem, leaves, flower and fruit of the pineapple. She described the method of pineapple reproduction used by farmers, and how calcium carbide is used to induce flowering in pineapple, allowing it to be harvested any time of the year. Everyone began picking pineapples after learning how to pick them and determining if they are ripe. It was the first time the interns visited a pineapple field and they enjoyed themselves thoroughly. At this point, the day's itinerary came to an end. Everyone took a group photo before heading back and looked forward to the next study tour.
