'I am living in Kanmani, Koyilandy. Last 9 months I and 20 students are studying about the sacred grove which is near by our school. Already we found more than 200 species of plants. Some of the plants include IUCN red list. And the interesting thing about the pH value of soil in grove is 5.3. On coming March (2018) there will be a festival in our grove along with an exhibition for the public to make awareness to protect the grove.', Jayachandran said.
