​​Recreational Forestry​

​
​​
​The Forestry Service is presently managing (3) three Nature Walks namely: Powder Mills at Pamplemousses (near SSR National Hospital), Monvert at Forest Side, Sophie, near Mare-aux-Vacoas reservoir with a view to provide leisure and recreation to both the local population and tourists. Moreover, Nature Walks provide a great opportunity for people to learn and appreciate the rare indigenous and endemic fauna and flora, their value to society and the need to conserve them.

​
During the year 2018, some 19,128 tourists and locals visited these Nature Walks and some 52 guided tours by Forest Officers were proposed to visitors.​
