“The list of species was made involving farmers, chestnut growers and local technicians during two workshops. The area suffered a fire in 2015, however there was substantial regrowth between the years 2016-2017. There are also areas of poor drainage and waterlogging that we have been able to partly overcome with the opening of channels and the planting of Vetiver.”
