3. 1. INTRODUCTION
• Collaborative forest: a working partnership
between the key stakeholders in the
management of a given forest
1. local forest users
2. state forest departments, as well as
3. parties such as local governments, civil
groups and non-governmental organizations,
and the private sector.

4. Scientific Forest Management
Scientific forest management is a systematic
application of forestry science knowledge for
management of forest based on the current
assessment of attributes of forest crop to maximize
and sustain benefits (including indirect benefits such
as environmental ,ecosystem services) acquiring
from the forest scientific forest management
essentially follows silvicultural system.
-Scientific forest management guideline
2071.

5. Concept of Collaborative Forest
Management
• Community forest meet only surrounding users
• Do not address the needs of distant users who are
traditional users
• Government has carried out revise forest sector
policy 2000 to manage the block forest in Terai
and Siwalik to address the issues.
• Collaborative Forest Directives 2060 and revised
2068 BS are primary directives for formulation and
management of Collaborative forest.
• BISEPST initiated the collaborative forest program
and Sabaiya, Parsa is the first collaborative forest
of Nepal.
• Till now we have 21 Collaborative forest in Nepal.

6. 2. Objective of Study
General Objective:
• To provide guidance to manage the
Collaborative Forest Scientifically and
produce sustained Yield.
Specific Objectives:
• To delineate forest boundary and blocking
• Stem mapping of felling area
• To assess forest Condition

7. 3. Methodology
• Primary Data collection
- Social Survey
- Field Survey
• Secondary Data collection
-District forest office
- Sector forest office
-Ilaka forest office

8. 4. Study Area
• Address: Kapilvastu Collaborative Forest
Management Maharajgunj, Kapilvastu
 Area: 5087.43 ha
Compartment area 630 ha
Sub-Compartment area 63 ha
Area of felling series 4.26 ha

• East: Fire line
• West:B1C1S10F9
• North: B1C1S7
• South:B1C2S3F10

10. 5. Biophysical Measurement
• Navigation: e-trex, Garmin GPS
• Abneys level for height estimation (based on
angle and distance).
• Measuring tape 30m
• D-tape for dbh measurement
• Regeneration were counted
• Mother trees are selected on the basis of
phenotypic character of trees.

11. 6. Sample Technique
• Total enumeration
for Trees and Poles
• For regeneration:
-plot to plot
distance=25m
-Plot size= 2m*2m

12. Total No. of
tree: 168
Total No. of
Pole : 192
