Planting and income increase of sweet dragon bamboo in Dinosaur Mountain Town

Located in the northwest of the town of fear of Longshan, the Jiudu Village Committee of Jiudu Village and Li Zhenzhuang Village are known as "Lufeng Xiao Jiangnan" because of their winding Xingsujiang River and endless bamboo forests. In 2012, the people's Government of Weilongshan Town introduced a new variety of sweet dragon bamboo for trial planting in Jiudu. Due to the success of the trial, sweet dragon bamboo will reach a planting scale of 500 mu in 2015, and bamboo will become a new hot spot for local farmers to increase their income as a characteristic industry.

In 2017, Wanlongshan Town was listed as a poverty alleviation township by the county party committee and government. The three village committees of Ganchong, Dowafang and Ana were lifted out of poverty throughout the year, involving 177 families and 667 people out of poverty, with an arduous task. Through exploration and demonstration, the town party committee and government will focus on developing a number of industries with distinctive advantages, so as to enhance the ability of poor households to continuously increase their income. The planned investment of 1 million yuan to complete the pig breeding project, and the planned investment of 350000 yuan in meat donkey breeding is being implemented. In order to make full use of the climatic advantages of the whole town and give full play to the experience of the masses, it was planned to plant a number of sweet dragon bamboos. After multi-party coordination and investigation, it was decided to establish a 100-mu sweet dragon bamboo demonstration base on both sides of the Xinzhuang River from Huangjia Village of the Ganchong Village Committee to Heinigou, so as to promote the construction of the bamboo industry in the town. The whole project needs a total of 590000 yuan, 420000 yuan invested by the town government, village committee and people, and 170000 yuan for the county forestry bureau to coordinate and subsidize the project.

At present, bamboo is growing well, and two or three years later, there will be another bamboo forest landscape on both sides of the Xinzhuang River, which will afforest and beautify homes, broaden the channels for increasing people's income, and lead the masses out of poverty and towards a well-off society.
