新疆塔克拉玛干沙漠中部北缘横着一道长84千米的人工生态林,新疆生产建设兵团“90后”护林员夏万林便是这片生态林的守护者之一。他用脚步丈量林地,用心灵守护林带,一干就是10个年头。
1 A 100 to 400⁃meter⁃wide,84⁃kilometer⁃long artificial eco⁃forest in the northern Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has the proud name of“359”eco⁃forest.2 Xia Wanlin,a post⁃90s forest ranger(护林员)from the 11th regiment(兵团)at the first Division of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps,has been stationed here for 10 years since he was 17.“When I first started working,the young trees had just been planted here.We had to replant young trees for three or four years in a row to achieve the scale we have today,”Xia said.“Now,this place has become a home for various sand⁃loving plants such as elm,mulberries,white wax trees,flower sticks,and bitter beans,”he added.
