Description |
Dun Falls (125m high and 3m wide) is split into three chutes that converge in a tributary of Loggal Oya Reservoir called Madu Walla Kandura. Annual deforestation of the land for chena cultivation means the land near the fall is bare and only 40 hectares of forest remain due to soil erosion. The woodland contains a variety of trees, including nelli, suriyamara, kolon, jack (Artocarpus heterophyllus), breadfruit, mee (Modhuca longifolia), weralla, alakola and woodapple. It is also home to wild boar, deer and hare. |
