Entering the 4th month , much of undergrowth have been cleared, including the dense bamboo forest. From the picture, you can see the undulating forest floors. Left behind are the stumps and fallen old rubber trees. As the trees come down, there is more sunlight piercing down from above. Quite a sight ! Occasionally you can see the squirrels and lizards scrambling away.
Next thing to do, start burning the land, but it has been raining cats and dogs. Infact every afternoon we can hear the thunder roaring in the distance. The local farmers reckon we can start the fire in mid May. Hopefully the weather gets kinder and drier so that we can finish preparing the land, converting it into a dusun ( fruit orchard ) the second half year.
