In the last decade, the government established the woodland by planting Acacia confusa to act as a natural barrier for the South East New Territory landfill. A public plantation project took place in 2004, during which 10,000 seedlings were planted, with 60% being local species. Nonetheless, exotic trees outperformed native species due to the constant effects of onshore wind. As a result, Acacia confusa has become the dominant species. In 2017, we took this area as our planting site, planting more native seedlings and boosting their survival by adding fertilisers and weeding. Owing to the survival threat posed by the fast-growing weeds, we extended the management period till 2024 to ensure planted seedlings can thrive there.
