Farm Forestry

• Farm forestry is the management of trees for specific purpose within a commercial context. Typically these are timber plantations on private land

• It can provide shelter, pasture and crops.• Some additional earnings, environmental

improvement can be forced.• creating new jobs, industries, capital value for the

young generations.“The least costly and economically the most effective approach to afforestation of the rural areas.”

• Forestry farm can be raised by private individuals or industries on private or public land.

• In tea gardens special types of shed trees are planted at regular internals.

Jhumming

• Jhum cultivation includes dibbing seeds of crops such as rice, maize, banana, cotton, cucumber, papaya etc in the hills and Undulating land.

• This cropping system is exercised at hills in rainy season.

• Farmers harvest them individually by lands. In general, no extra care is taken and so yield is very low.

• The hilly habitants plant it because of step slopes, random growth of vegetation, the low density of population and land degradation.

• The alternative to jhum is terraced cultivation but it may not be cost effective especially in the early stages of terrace cultivation.

Plantation on Canal Bank

• In may arid countries, wherever rivers are available, efforts have been made to utilize the water for irrigation purposes through the construction of dems or using lift irrigation for the agricultural needs.

• The verdure of southern Bangladesh is simply breathtaking. Trees and bushes densely surrounded almost household in the village of Barisal, Pirojpur, Jhalkathi. • These trees are the source of poles for

rural electrification, cottage industry raw material, agricultural implements and Dheki, fuel, fodder, food and at the same time shall also increase soil fertility.

• Growing very tall trees with shallow and laterally spreading root system should be avoided.

Parks and Block Plantations

• Parks and block plantations need to be planned with areas of different heights, shapes and foliage. They normally include big tress, medium height tress, shrubs etc, which are evergreen.

• Boundary lines of parks/blocks should have Raintree, Kathchapa, Mehagini, Krishnachura, Bot, Tetul, Champaful etc.

• Park plantations help a lot to the visitors. It provides shadow and enhances natural beauty.

Rural Forestry

• In Bangladesh, almost every rural household grows some trees agricultural implements, bamboos, shrubs etc around homestead or on the boundaries of land for supply of fruits, vegetables, timber, construction materials, fuel wood etc.

• The government has the responsibility of providing seedlings, fertilizer, but the community has to take the responsibility of protecting the trees.

Extension Forestry

• Planting of trees on the sides of roads, canals and railway along with planting on waste lands is known as extension forestry.

• Under the project there has been creation of woodlots in the village common lands, government wasteland (Khasland) and Panchayat lands.

• Schemes for afforesting the degraded government forests that are close to villages are being carried out all over the country.

Community Forestry

• Community (almost same as rural forestry) forestry is the rising of trees on community land not on private land.

• All these programs aim to provide for the entire community not for any individual.

• Government provides seedlings, fertilizer but the community has to the responsibility of protecting the trees

Rehabilitation Forestry

• According to the society for restoration, the process of assisting the recovery of an ecosystem that has been degraded, damaged or destroyed.

• We can define forest restoration as restoring healthy, diverse and resilient ecological system to minimize uncharacteristically severe fires, especially on critical water sheds.

Plantations for Water Shed Management and Flood Control

• Participatory plantation programs are being considered with increasing importance in water shed management and flood control problems.

• Protecting embankment, reducing cost, using the sound principles of soil and water comer ration are some benefits of it.

Urban Forestry

• The definition of development has been changed. People are now thinking about sound lifestyle in the city areas. Trees in the urban areas line along side the roads, in the parks, in front of the institutions can provide shade, oxygen etc.

• Basically urban forestry is the implementation of the government for the city dwellings.

• Besides these forestation, we can see the plantation:

• Riverside or canalside.• Slum areas.• Residential areas.• Industrial areas.• Trees on road/highway areas.
