金門縣林務所於第一屆環保公僕創意王競賽中，以「金門植物園活化再利用」榮獲現有措施類第二名殊榮，所長葉媚媚並於世界地球日（四月二十二日）當天，自環保署長沈世宏手中接獲獎座。

The "EPA Civil Servant Creativity Competition" is designed to encourage government agencies and environmental protection units to generate creative concepts and measures that are feasible(4) on the national, regional or local level to help environmental protection offices come up with diversified and multi-direction thinking as well as absorb new ideas.
「環保公僕創意王」目的在鼓勵政府機關及環保單位，針對全國性、區域性、及地方性環保業務，提供實際可行的創意理念與做法，協助環保機關能夠多元、多方向思考，吸取創新的理念。

Ye Mei-mei pointed out that in the early days Kinmen Botanical Garden was surrounded by bunkers, ammunition(5) depots and obsolete(6) barracks(7) due to its location in the Taiwu Mountain Military Control Zone. To bring back the charm of the area in line with(8) the Taiwu Nursery Reconstruction Plan, the Forestry Bureau has resorted to use of surrounding natural resources and created the forestry leisure space with Kinmen characteristics in spite of the limited budgets from the central and local governments.
葉媚媚指出，金門植物園早期因位於太武山軍事管制區，園區周邊滿佈碉堡、彈藥庫、廢棄營舍；為使營區再現當年風華，配合太武苗圃改建計畫，在中央及地方有限之經費下，取之於自然也用之於自然理念，營造出深具金門特色的森林戶外遊憩空間。

The botanical garden has retained the original war zone features by remodeling the abandoned barracks and concrete buildings. Water started to flow smoothly in the river like before and the swales(9) were turned into ecological ponds. The biological varieties have increased notably. The environment not only provides good breeding grounds for aquatic(10) insects but also has become good habitats for carnivorous(11) plants. It is now an excellent outdoor classroom for education on ecological sustainability.
金門縣植物園區不僅保有原來的戰地特色，廢棄營舍、水泥建築經整理後，河道恢復往日的通暢及美觀，原有漥地更經重新整頓規劃為生態池，環境獲得良好改善生物的多樣性亦獲顯著提昇，適合的自然環境，不只為水生昆蟲提供良好的復育場地，也成為食蟲植物的良好棲息地，現在亦是生態永續教育的自然教室。

According to the forestry Bureau, since the opening after the revitalization and reuse measures were implemented in the botanical garden, over ten thousand people and 56 groups have visited the botanical garden up till the end of January 2009. To record the change in ecological resources since the revitalization, work was carried out in the botanical garden, surveys on insect resources were outsourced and recorded, between May and December 2008, 10 orders, 33 families and 57 species of insects, 2 species of arachnidan,(12) one species of snails, one species of mammals,(13) 3 species of amphibians,(14) 3 species of reptiles,(15) as well as 26 species of birds, indicating rich biological resources.
金門縣林務所也表示，金門縣植物園區活化再利用後，自開放後統計至九十八年一月底止，參觀人次破萬，參訪團體達五十六團；為記錄植物園區活化後生態系的資源變化，委外進行昆蟲資源調查作業，從九十七年五月至十二月，調查結果發現，昆蟲資源共記錄有10目33科57種，無脊椎動物中的蛛形綱2種，蝸牛1種；脊椎動物中的哺乳類1種，兩棲類3種，爬蟲類3種，鳥類26種，充分顯現出生物資源的豐富性。
