The spring breeze warms the earth and rejuvenates the earth. Recently, the 50,000-square-meter pear tree orchard of Angang Mine Ecological Park ushered in the annual blooming season. It is hard to imagine that after 20 years of unremitting efforts of Angang people, the rock dump that used to be barren has now become Huaguo Mountain and has become a check-in place for domestic and foreign tourists to visit Angang for tourism and leisure.
Recently, the reporter walked into the mine ecological park, the trees all over the mountain have turned green, more than 100 newly planted ginkgo trees on both sides of the road have also sprouted, and the white and flawless Nanguo pear blossoms are particularly beautiful against the background of green leaves. Jia Wanchun, deputy director of the propaganda of the Party Committee Studio of Anshan Comprehensive Service Branch of Anshan Iron and Steel Resources Co., Ltd., told reporters that half a month later, more than 60,000 square meters of rape flowers newly planted this year will also open, and then it will become a golden sea and beautiful...... Pick it up.
As a leading enterprise in the iron ore industry in mainland China, Anshan Iron and Steel Mining has continuously contributed high-quality ores to the iron and steel industry of the Republic of China in the history of mining for a hundred years, while also causing varying degrees of impact on the natural environment. On the satellite map, the rock dump and tailings pond were once huge "scars" in Anshan City, a barren land that no one could see when the wind blew 2 meters away.
Since 2004, Anshan Iron and Steel Mining has begun to vigorously promote the environmental management and restoration of mines, but it is not an easy task to plant trees on a rocky mountain more than 100 meters high. Jia Wanchun recalls that the biggest challenge is that there is no water and soil on the mountain. In order to solve the problem of soil, they brought tailings soil, added water-retaining agent, packed it in woven bags or wicker baskets, planted saplings in it, and then put the basket and trees into the stone pit. In order to solve the water problem, they diverted the water from the pit under the mountain to the mountain and loaded it into the reservoir, which not only solved the problem of water seepage in the mine, but also met the demand for water for greening. After solving the water and soil problems, the survival rate of trees has also increased from 65% to 95%. In this way, year after year, generation after generation, after 20 years of continuous leveling, backfilling and reclamation, the once barren mountains and bald mountains are now covered with green vegetation.
Nowadays, the ecological park, which covers an area of 3.68 million square meters, has planted more than 20 varieties of greening and ornamental tree species, opened up 50,000 square meters of pear tree orchards and 30,000 square meters of plum orchards. During the 2023 National "Two Sessions", Hua Chunying, Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs and spokesperson, recommended the ten-year ecological protection achievements of Anshan Iron and Steel Mining on her personal social media, which generated strong repercussions at home and abroad. On August 15, 2023, the first "National Ecology Day", China Central Radio and Television, Xinhua News Agency, People's Daily Online and other media praised the reclamation and greening work of Anshan Iron and Steel Mine, vividly demonstrating the fruitful achievements of Anshan Iron and Steel Mining in helping the construction of a beautiful China in recent years.
Anchoring the goal of building a beautiful China, Anshan Iron and Steel Mining Company will continue to make efforts to paint a thick background of green Anshan Iron and Steel with practical actions.
