Tree Facts - Learn About Trees
The following are some interesting tree facts: Trees are the oldest form of life on earth. The oldest tree is Methuselah, a bristlecone pine almost 4,900 years old, living high in the mountains on the Nevada/California border. We literally cannot live without trees - they take carbon dioxide from the air and replace it with oxygen. Trees stop soil erosion by their long root systems.

Homepage - WolvenDaal
In January 2005, the Dutch Reformed Church (currently renamed Christian Reformed Church) established the Wolvendaal Foundation. Its ultimate aim is to further the relations between the various races and religions on the island. The Dutch Reformed Church itself is a showpiece of peaceful co-existence as it comprises Singhalese, Tamil and Burgher congregations harmoniously working and worshipping together.
The Foundation focuses on the restoration, renovation, maintenance and improvement of the historic Dutch churches and monuments on the island under the management of the Dutch Reformed Church. They form part of the cultural heritage of Sri Lanka and are also a major tourist attraction The historic buildings under the management of the church are the Wolvendaal Church at Colombo, the Groote Kerk located in the Dutch Fort of Galle, the 18th century churches at Matara and Kolpitya as well as the Cayman\'s Gate Belfry at Pettah, Colombo.
Various projects have been executed during recent years such as the restoration of the Matara church, backlog maintenance of the Wolvendaal Church and the preservation of the colonial church archives.
This website also comprises sections dealing with the Dutch period at Ceylon (1602 – 1796) as well as the history of the Dutch Reformed Church (established on Ceylon in 1642) and the Dutch Burgher community on the island. A large photo collection of historic and present day photos is part of the site.
