‘Shalmala’ Rock Garden is situated near Sirsi city and is a beautiful location for nature lovers. This garden is spread over around 42 hectares and has different vegetation. In 2016, the Department of Forest decided to make this place a recreation point for nature lovers. So, as a first step, the Forest Department offered a project for TREC to document the flora diversity of this place. TREC did this work with field experts and made all the information available as a booklet.
