Once we officially decided to carry out the project it was decided that Udawatte Kele Sanctuary is the best venue as it will not only provide space for the plants we plant but also preserve them for the future generations. Thus enhancing sustainability.
Therefore we met the officials of the Forest Department in Kandy and obtained permission from the Divisional and Regional Forest Offices. It was agreed that they would give us a pathway to maintain inside the sanctuary. Next we made a list of plants and with collaboration with Agriculture department obtained them. The following medicinal plants were chosen
1. Aththora
2. Nelli
3. Star Fruit
4. Maha Niththa
5. Ranawara
6. Mayurapada Endaru
7. Pokuruwada
8. Badakiriththa
9. Thebu
10. Kenahinda
11. Ugurassa
12. Sapathilla
On the day of the project the Club members met at the entrance of the Udawatta Kele Sanctuary on proceeded to the given location. We were allocated a pathway beside which we were to plant the medicinal plants. We cleared the area slightly and made planting spots ready and finally planted them. Also we had to make a bamboo fence around each plant to protect it from wild animals. We have undertaken the responsibility to maintain the plants in year to come. The plants will be tagged by us and the area that the plants our located will be maintained by us which will bear our name and therefore it will promote rotaract as well.
