Ranikhet is surrounded by forests of Pine, Oak, Deodar and Cyprus. Its ever-green vistas of exquisite beauty and the sapphire of in circling hills blend with deep blue cloudless skies. These have a charm of their own, against the back ground of snow clouded Himalayan peaks glistering in the distance.
In order to stop the erosion of soil and to balance environmental ecology, the Board has been planting variety of trees. Besides, the Board has fenced the re-generation areas as well as by making protection walls in the forest in order to stop the damage. Cantonment Board has paid adequate attention for protection of wildlife too. |
