Since 1987 the Forestry Administration has not been cutting first grade conifers, and the Council of Agriculture too ranks precious and unusual trees as protected. Additionally, the Dept. of Agriculture & Forestry has begun to build frames for old trees, and fit them with lightning conductors. Fences and support staves are also being added to protect against human damage and pestilence.
民國七十六年起，林務局停止砍伐「針一級」高級木材，農委會也對珍奇樹種列冊保護；此外，農林廳並開始對老樹建檔，裝設避雷針；修築護牆、支柱，防止病蟲害及人為破壞，希望老樹得享天年。
