Exotic Species Control

The Trust has employs a team of workers to cut down pine saplings around the Chelinda pine plantation. This will be a year-on-year task as the pines are rapid growing and would quickly advance across the plateau if left alone. The Trust is hoping to employ a whole group of labourers to continually clear the forest. The Trust is currently making test plots in which we can experiment at what is best to replace the areas cleared of pine. The plantation covers an area of 1200 acres so this is going to take a considerable amount of time.
