「榮輝或我，或者不少山友，這幾年都在努力書寫這一大城的郊野風物，這類健行指南的多樣，不只是認識香港郊野的基礎，也是感謝這塊山林的最好回報。」──劉克襄（台灣自然觀察作家）
「這一本《咫尺山林》，從一個有心人的眼睛，讓讀者看到香港繁華鬧市背後那個充滿靈氣的綠洲。」──馬傑偉（香港中文大學新聞及傳播學院教授）
「這本書，解開了我心中一個縈繞甚久的謎團。」──區家麟（資深傳媒工作者）
城市五光十色的霓虹燈，造就香港這國際大都會的繁華景色，卻也無法掩蓋本地郊野的懾人風光。一條條隱世美好的山徑逐漸被發掘，而本地遠足資訊網站「綠洲Oasistrek」創辦人羅榮輝（Teddy），也用了12年時間於香港的山野「漫」行。
《咫尺山林》記錄作者一場又一場的遠足旅程：從欣賞鄉村古道至嶼南海岸等平凡山林的雅緻風景，再分享把臂同遊至迷失荒野的登山樂事，反思人與山林與自然的關係，並寄望本地保育與鄉郊的平衡發展。
隨書附有遠足路線與登山小貼士，配上一張張奪目的山林照片，呈現香港美好的山水風物，讓讀者在踏入香港山林之前，用眼睛和指尖來一趟輕遠足。
羅榮輝
曾任職於大學、政府及環保機構。行山逾12載，至今仍然熱衷於探索香港的郊野。不是行山專家，非攝影達人，亦非作家。行事低調，又想出名。會因為藍天白雲而高興，也會為滿山垃圾而低落。對行山、攝影、設計、寫作與環保略懂一二，惟事事「半桶水」。偶然下創立「綠洲Oasistrek」網站，從中找到了方向。自此花在這片綠洲上的時間比在正職工作的還要多，還要投入和專注。隨著近年自然環境面對的威脅日趨嚴峻，自覺應擔負更多責任。想要做的事很多，完成的卻很少。願望是走出現實困局，別老來才讓自己後悔沒有勇氣去做的事。
綠洲Oasistrek（www.oasistrek.com）
「綠洲 Oasistrek」於2004年建立，是一個以香港遠足資訊與自然風景為題的網站，載有280條香港行山路線。創辦人曾經一度幻想它能成為本港最佳的行山網站，現時卻希望將之釀成一個更富保育意義與社會貢獻的平台，跳出網絡的框架，傳揚理念。網站會介紹行山路線，卻不是給讀者找資料；會提供行山地圖，卻不是要讀者跟著走；會分享風景照，卻不是推介攝影熱點；會售賣產品，卻又非為賺大錢（當然也希望賺一點）。網站是一個觸發原點，期望讀者透過行山，在自行探索的過程中認識本土的自然風景與鄉郊文化，思考自身與大自然的關係，從而推廣環境保護的理念。

Colourful neon lights brighten up Hong Kong as an international city. Yet, they can never overshadow the beauty of our countryside. As the founder of the local trekking website “Oasistrek”, Teddy has spent 12 years to introduce the natural scenery in Hong Kong to trekking lovers at home and abroad.
This book records the author’s trekking journey in great detail - the scenic views from the north western ancient trail to the southern coasts, and the amazing experience en route. Not to mention his reflections on the relationship between human and nature, and his wish for a balance between preservation and rural development.
Hiking routes and tips are included in the book, together with photos showing the alluring natural sceneries in Hong Kong. The readers can enjoy
trekking through the words before exploring the true beauty of countryside.
Teddy Law has worked for university, government and environmental organisation. He has some, but limited, knowledge about trekking, photographing, designing, writing and environmental protection. Therefore, he does not identify himself as a trekking expert, photographer or writer. By chance, he created the website “Oasistrek” and found his passion. Since then, he has been spending more time and efforts on the website than in his full-time job.
Having been trekking for more than 12 years, he is still enthusiastic about exploring the local countryside. He can be easily amused by the blue sky and white clouds, and be upset by the rubbish accumulated on the hills. He reckons he has greater responsibilities to protect the worsened natural environment. He has a lot of plans, but just a few have been accomplished. He hopes he can take action before he is too old.
Oasistrek (www.oasistrek.com), established in 2004, aims at introducing natural landscape and trekking routes in Hong Kong. It is especially fond of the scenery in Sai Kung and northeastern New Territories because of the naturalness and wilderness. The infrastructure development in Hong Kong is expanding drastically, and it creates irreversible impacts on the natural environment. Oasistrek sincerely wishes that the public would cherish and preserve our nature before it is too late.
