Climber Clearance Works - 2007
Contractors will remove climbers from the intertidal mangrove area over the coming 6-week period. This is to promote the health of the mature mangrove trees which suffer if climber plants dominate in the canopy layer.
The contractors (3 ladies) will work in mangrove areas adjacent to the floating boardwalk and will clear an area up to 20 metres eitherside. Climber roots will be hand cut and you will notice many dying next to the boardwalk (see photo below).
If you require further information please telephone Janet Lee at the WWF Mai Po Office on 3193 7502.
