Leave it alone and allow nature to tale care of. Only invasive species should be monitored and removed. The planting of single type of trees alone in forests that have been cleared is not the solution. Ironically, after the ceremonies are over , the trees/saplings are allowed to perish by neglect.

Good idea. Currently it is a Kassipu place. Our environmental lovers have no issue with Kassippu business in Muthurajawela.
