With International Day of Forests around the corner, March 21st<\/sup> to be exact, the Forestry Unit within the Ministry of Agriculture, took twenty-five (25) students of the Freetown Primary School on a field trip and hike.<\/p>\n

On Friday 10th<\/sup> March, Camellia Tonge, a Forestry officer conducted a tour of several areas and ecosystems starting from Freetown to Wallings Dam.\u00a0 The main aims and objectives of this exercise were to demonstrate the threat of invasive species and to quantify the cost of the loss of biodiversity and revenue.<\/p>\n

These invasive species were from both phylum and while on their excursion the students saw mongoose. Cuban tree frogs, Giant African snails, lemon grass, and other vectors caused tremendous harm and devastation to the vegetation in the areas.<\/p>\n

It was indeed a well-spent day: away from the monotony of the classroom, enjoying nature; while learning.<\/p>\n
