A green land of 15,000 mu will be built to the north of the Shanghai
Chemical Industrial Zone in the Fengxian County in the near future, township
government announced today.

pollution possibly caused by the factories in the industrial zone.
The joint
developer of the green land, Huqiao Township of the Fengxian County and Shanghai
Hongyi Investment Co Ltd, said the first phase of 5,000 mu will be completed in
two years.
In an effort to cultivate large areas of seaside forests to reduce
the wind speed of the region and clean the air, Fengxian County planted some
800,000 trees with an area of 53,300 mu last year, raising the green coverage
rate of the district to near 15 percent.
Most of the trees are in the family
of the furs, camphors, pines and gingkos.
With the green coverage increasing
steadily, Fengxian county is expected to be developed into an integrited
tourism, sightseeing and leisure center in the future.
