Circle of Life - Wood Carving Project

Fallen trees, logs and branches are not wastes, besides turning them into biochar which can act like a compost to add nutrients to the soil, they can be brought back to life again in another form by the hands of skilful and creative wood artists. In 2017, local wood artists created wooden sculptures at KFBG, with wood from KFBG's fallen trees. Visitors are welcomed to appreciate these sculptures located at different spots in KFBG.
