. Conservation and sustainable use of medicinal plants in Ghana: conservation report. . Konkonuru villagers at the Community Medicinal Plant Farm Aburi Botanic Gardens donated 50 acres of semi-forest land to establish the medicinal garden, as described under Monthly reports on development of the medicinal plant garden and trails are produced. Report for December 2001 (excerpts): Plant hunting from the main forest yielded seeds of Penianthus patulinervis and seedlings of Cinnamomum zeylanicum. Mr. Danso brought about 600 seeds of Turraea heterophylla. These were propagated. This yields about 560 young seedlings, which were put in propagation bags. Trails in plots 8 and 9 down in the valley were cleared. There was enrichment planting outside the nursery and plot 1. There was an outreach programme visit to Kofisah to interact with the community. Seedlings of Trichilia heterophylla, Treculia africana, Tetrapleura tetraptera, Cinnamomum zeylanicum and snake plant all numbering 50 were sent. The total population of plants as at December 2001 is 4,196. William Ofosuhene-Djan, Project Officer Work Outstanding There is the need to continue work on the farm beyond the life span of the project. The number of small name plates has to be increased from 1,000 to 5,000. Similarly the educational panels should be increased from 50 to 500. The present list of living collections needs to be improved upon. 17.
