“...the roadside planting throughout the Colony are raised here, later it is proposed to establish another nursery on the Island, in order to lessen the cost of transport and to avoid the carrying of young trees over long journeys. Little Hong Kong Nursery :The whole of the beds were sown with Camphor seeds and over 5,000 young trees raised in readiness for the replanting of the adjoining cleared area of Little Hong Kong Forest.

A pipe line has been laid to tap a hill stream and a system of small tanks established, so far an abundant supply of water has been obtained. Little Hong Kong Forest:The clearing of the old timber from this area which was commenced in 1922 has now been completed; the majority of the large trees had been damaged and broken by large forest creepers and the major portion of the timber felled could...”
