To date, Boulders Garden Hotel has not been active in supporting Bio-Diversity Conservation Projects in the surrounding area. Two rivers (Kuda Ganga and Delgoda Ganga) flow close by the hotel property. The triangular area formed by the Kuda Ganga, Delgoda Ganga and Kalawana/Rakwana road, with the hotel lying inside these boundaries, offer a tremendous opportunity for the Boulders Garden Hotel to launch a Bio-Diversity Conservation project. Request for such project has not been accepted by hotel nanagement to date.
