On this trip we stopped at many road side nep areas , , the neps are one of the fist plants to take hold in newly excavated sites , most of these are , road side ,land side buffers , cut back into the hill sides to stop the constant land slides dew to high rain fall and soft rocky soils , ideal for neps in low land conditions , amazing to see too!! this was on the fist road side stop we did ,got all of us very excited when we were told this was only a very small site !! unreal !!
