The trees on the mountain are governed by the "Forest Law" and cannot be cut down at will, but flat trees cannot be managed from street trees to century-old trees in the past, and they are often not "tree-like" when they are trimmed. If the branches are trimmed indiscriminately, the heavy ones will be "decapitated" at will, and the arbitrary transplanting of big trees will cause heavy casualties.

In order to protect trees on flat land, the Legislative Yuan passed the Tree Protection Chapter Mother Law in 104 (hereinafter referred to as the "Tree Protection Law"). However, four years later, the Forestry Bureau of the competent authority has not yet promulgated the sub-law. recently, it has even been reported that the "tree protection professional examination and certification method" in the sub-law, the qualification of tree repairers should be handed over to specific non-governmental units for examination and selection, causing questions about the profit of specific manufacturers. It will make it difficult to convince the qualifications of the personnel who carry out the tree protection in the future.

The Forestry Bureau clarified that the profit manufacturers are false accusations. at present, the trees to be protected in Taiwan have completed the list and announced the contents of the sub-laws, which can only be released after completing the briefing with the relevant industry groups. "the tree protection law is very good, but it is impossible for the private sector to do the examination." Lan Lizhu, director of the Taipei City Landscape Engineering Business Association, said that the existing examination for folk artisans is the ISA system of the United States, which is not applicable to Taiwan and is not beneficial because it is expensive. It is suggested that the examination should be conducted by colleges and universities and other units with both professional and neutral positions. "Private training should not be allowed to override the national examination."
