The Department of Forests proposes to launch a pilot project on growing Sreegandham (sandalwood) and red sanders in 10 acres each in Madakasira and Tanakallu mandals of Anantapur district in the current financial year as part of its long-term work plan. District Forest Officer Sandeep Krupakar Gundala told reporters here on Monday that plantation of various varieties suitable for the forest in this region would be grown in 300 acres to improve the total forest cover from the current 10.5% of the landmass of the district. The total forest area was only two lakh hectares, but the department was determined to improve the density of green cover, the DFO said. The crown density was just 0.4, which needs to be improved, he said.
