Let's go to the front line of the forest! Nearly 500 students from Donglin's "Support Forest Plan" are guarding green mountains and rivers with their youth
2026-05-09
In May, Harbin's warm breeze brushes against the face, and the vegetation is lush. In early summer, the campus of Northeast Forestry University (hereinafter referred to as "Donglin") is lush with greenery. Another generation of students who are about to embark on their expedition gather on campus, carrying their sincere longing for the forest and wilderness. They pack their bags and rush to the front lines of major forest areas across the country, deeply rooting their youthful ideals in the green mountains and clear waters. In 2021, Northeast Forestry University was the first university in China to launch the "Support Forest Plan" for graduate students, opening up a new path of green talent development through "grassroots practice+academic further education". Since the implementation of the project, 499 Donglin students have gone to over 100 forest farms, forestry and grassland bureaus, and nature reserves in five provinces and regions. Upon completion of their service period and passing the assessment, they will be eligible for recommendation for postgraduate studies, allowing young people to gain experience on the front line and become successful through practice. The 'Support Forest Plan' focuses on forest area construction and ecological remediation, which is highly compatible with my professional direction. I want to use what I have learned to contribute to the construction of forest farms. ”The first batch of Zhilin students, Duan Jianan, admitted frankly. Carrying this original aspiration, one group after another of Donglin youth bid farewell to the bustling campus and headed to remote forest areas, embarking on a transformation from scholars to new recruits in the forestry industry. Entering the vast forest sea from the bright and clean classroom, the simple and austere grassroots life is the first lesson for young people. They calmed down, bent down, and turned their professional knowledge into practical actions to protect the forest. At the forest management station, they taught the staff step by step how to operate the invasive alien species survey app; In the deep mountains and dense forests, carrying specimen holders to collect afforestation data and test the quality of seedlings; Within the nature reserve, closely monitor infrared images and track the traces of rare wild animals. Coming to the forest area is not just about experiencing experience, but also about leveraging professional strengths and solving problems in a practical way, in order to live up to the school's training. ”Many students from Zhilin expressed their common aspirations during the selection and exchange. In Tahe County, northern Xinjiang, forestry major Li Qianhe spent two months exploring 192 forest plots, accurately verifying and surveying them, and directly receiving 833000 yuan of welfare subsidies to farmers. Within the Lingfeng National Nature Reserve, forestry professional Zhou Ker has been deeply involved in monitoring wild animals and plants, producing nearly 500 plant specimens, and for the first time, capturing wild minks in the Emer River Basin. It's worth the effort to leave basic scientific research materials for the protected area, "said Zhou Ker. Students also cleverly use their professional advantages to empower forest areas: Zhou Zhinan, who majored in ecology, participated in the development of a wetland restoration plan that was approved and implemented by the state; Liu Siqiang, a legal professional, sorted out cases and optimized the methods of popularizing law, resulting in a significant increase in the proactive legal consultation rate from zero to 50% among the public; Zhang Jiayuan, a computer science major, built an electronic archive and compressed archive queries from half a day to just a few seconds... "Donglin students have injected youthful vitality into the forest area, with new ideas, practical work style, ability to accomplish tasks, and problem-solving skills. ”Yu Hui, Secretary of the Party Committee of Daxing'anling Forestry Group Company, gave high praise. The President of Northeast Forestry University, Song Wenlong, also stated that the 'Support Forest Plan' is an important exploration for the school to cultivate talents. It not only fills the gaps in talent in the forest area, but also allows young people to grow and develop in the classroom of the earth, and passes on the spirit of forestry from generation to generation. "Support Forest students who have returned to campus for graduate studies have identified the frontline pain points in the forest area as their main research direction. One year of grassroots experience has helped me understand the perseverance of forestry professionals and identify the practical landing points of scientific research. Li Qianhe is determined to deepen his cultivation of composite management of red pine and is preparing to pursue a master's and doctoral degree. Wang Qinghong, a forestry major, focuses on the green prevention and control of white moths in the United States, and openly expresses her intention to continue supporting forestry with professional scientific research. From youth gathering to rooting in the forest, from practical work to growth and success, batches of young people from Donglin have followed the path of supporting the forest and rushed to the forest, using their youth to fulfill their mission, using practical work to protect the ecology, integrating themselves into the overall situation of ecological civilization construction, and writing a dynamic answer sheet for forestry youth in the new era in the midst of white mountains and black waters.
