While we were up and about as we were camping with the warden we came across a farmer who had planted coconut trees in his farm and was harvesting them for wood, the wood looked so good.
wood from coconut trees.
The farmer told us he decided to plant the coconut trees for coconuts and so he can harvest its wood later on. Coconut tree sgrow well in the coast region and they are abundant.

This practise is a good idea and if well adopted within the community will prevent people from poaching wood in the forest.
