The first phase of the 2006 Yangmingshan eco-working holidays commenced June 25 at Erziping. Most participants were individuals that had never previously been involved in any ecological conservation activities. Therefore, this working holiday was the first ecological experience for most volunteers. Most volunteers thought they were participating in a meaningful activity and learned a great deal through the comprehensive interpretation of the surrounding ecology given by teachers.
