In response, the Department of Cultural Affairs has been actively making efforts to make up for this, such as surveying old trees, and publicizing those that it registers in order to educate people about their care. The idea is that citizens will find out more about the law and take its spirit to heart, avoiding further unfortunate incidents.
文化局對此除積極研訂相關配套，如老樹樹籍資料的調查，並於名單列管定案後公告周知，藉此舉辦老樹保育推廣教育外，也希望民眾能多了解樹木保護條例的相關規定，讓樹木保護觀念深植人心，以免再有難以挽回的憾事。
