MODEL PLOT CLEANING INSIDE DHANUSHADHAM PROTECTED FOREST

In the current financial year, we have received a program from Department of Forest, to clean shrub of 5 hectare area inside Dhanushadham Protected Forest. The aim is to clean shrubs of 5 hectare area and compare the natural germination and development of plant species in shrub clear and unclear area. There is countless germination of different plant species including Sal, Jamun, Amla, Siris, Sisam, Khayr and others. The above photo explains the natural germination power of this forest as other forests of Nepal. But, the fact is there is not even a single Two years or older tree, due to community made fire, over grazing and unmanaged mud cutting inside forest. Let’s hope that the conservation we have been able to provide to the forest with strong community support will be able to secure future of the forest. We are once again thanking the community people and stakeholders for their strong support and cooperation.
