I had a chance to see almost all the post and monthly family wise update. Good and outstanding photos was posted.
As an Ecologist, I wish to bring members attention that Recent Vardha Cyclone in Chennai has witnessed the ravage of Exotic trees. We can think of bringing some kind of list of Exotic tree species in EFI forum with photos. It can be useful for amateur nature lovers, public and engineers from PWD and High ways.
