校樹新造型亮相！園藝系友慷慨捐款 聘專業攀樹師修剪校園樹木
台大校園內樹木換新造型！由於園藝系四號館與五號館中庭空間大型吊掛機具無法進入，長年無法進行樹木修剪，不但對周遭建築造成公安疑慮，中庭空間也因為長久光線不足，植栽生長不易。園藝系友黃雲駒意識到問題，慷慨捐款15萬元，聘請專業攀樹師進行樹木修剪，修剪後的樹木外觀整齊，光線也能透入，提升校內環境美觀與安全性。
園藝系指出，部分區域樹木多年缺乏管理維護，更有榕樹攀爬於白千層上，受到榕樹捆勒之白千層樹勢逐年衰弱，有傾倒之虞，不但對園藝系四號館及五號館歷史建物有威脅性，也對校內師生安全造成風險。

園藝系系友黃雲駒與園藝系系友會，數年前已捐款百萬元改善該中庭空間，然而長年未修剪枝樹木，不但遮陰造成植栽管理之困難，也漸漸產生安全疑慮。今年度黃雲駒與首都文教基金會再次慷慨捐款，聘請攀樹師吊掛方式人工修剪樹木，充分展現生農學院人對校園、對環境的熱愛，提高本校師生使用校內環境之美觀與安全性。
園藝系表示，樹木年久未修剪會對周遭建築造成公安疑慮，也會阻礙光線照射，造成底下花園植栽生長不良、維護不易，特別感謝黃雲駒及首都文教基金會指定捐款15萬元，聘請專業攀樹師進行樹木修剪，共同美化校園環境。

Tree Climber Specialists Working on Campus Trees Sponsored by an Alumni of Dept. Horticulture
The courtyard between Building No. 4 and Building No. 5 had been lack of tree pruning for decades. Heavy duty cranes were not able to access to the courtyard due to its narrow opening.
These trees, without proper management, were not only risks to public safety, but also blocked the sunlight. Limited sunlight had a negative impact on plant growth, seriously affecting garden management. NTU deeply appreciates Mr. Huang, Yun-Chu, an Alumni of Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, and Capital Cultural Educational Foundation for their donation of 150 thousand NTD. This donation was designated to hiring professional tree climbers for tree pruning.

Trees in this courtyard had not been trained or pruned for several decades. Several cajuput trees were strangled by banyan trees, their tree vigor ended up falling sharply. These entangled trees were not only a threat to historical Building No. 4 and Building No. 5, but also posed a risk to people on campus.
Mr. Huang and the Alumni Association of Department of Horticulture have donated a million dollars few years ago for the improvement of this courtyard. The transformation was slow for years because of sunlight masked by these less than well cared trees. To solve the shading problem, Mr. Huang helped the department to work on tree management using tree climber with his generosity. He is one of our great examples of showing his passion to the NTU and his love to the environment. His contribution has significantly improved the beauty of campus and public safety.
