From Wasteland to Paradise

About this amazing book......
The book presents in detail the remarkable history of the transformation of the Bamburi Quarries into the tropical paradise they are today.

Rene Haller recalls "The ugly wasteland expanded annual by tens of thousands of square meters. No plants seemed able to establish themselves. I spent countless hours in the hot dusty barren land, found a few ferns and perhaps half a dozen  grasses struggling to take root  - it was hardly an encouraging environment for tree planting. However one day I discovered in a remote part of the quarry five small casuarina trees . Finally I had found some life which inspired me - a glimmer of hope giving a direction which might be worthwhile following".

Buy the book and discover what has been achieved in the last thirty years.
