Hilary, I'm curious to know why the Forestry Dept would replant an area with non-native eucalypts. When the British first came to Cyprus in the late 1800s they planted eucalypts and acacias, especially in the wetland areas in an attempt to dry them up and reduce the mosquito problem. Now, 150 years later, the Forestry Dept have the task of getting rid of these as they have become invasive and replacing them with native species.
