Forestry Division called upon to assist tree growers

BY BARNABAS MANEBONA

A tree grower at Sirobesi in Northwest Choiseul makes a call again for the Forestry Division to assist tree growers around the province in order to sell their trees.

Mr Francis Qoloni on behalf of other tree growers said it has been a very long time now since the Forestry Division assured to assist them in finding buyers for their trees.

“We call on them to come fulfil their assurance in order for us to earn some money from these trees. Assisting us to export our trees will be good as well,” said Mr Qoloni.

It is understood that tree growers of Choiseul Province have planted hundreds of acres of Teak, Eucalyptus and other species of trees.

Attempts for comment from the Forestry Division in Honiara were not possible yesterday.
