Private Forests

 This paper reviews and analyses the present status of private forests and tenure administration in light of existing legal, policy, and regulatory frameworks in Nepal. Additionally, the present status of private forests, as well as the scenarios of timber harvesting, transportation, marketing, and their administration are thoroughly revised. Provisions regarding forests and trees on private land and their basis are examined and implications are articulated for potential policy improvements for enhanced tenure security. It is shown that robust national-level policies and legal frameworks exist, and that there is an increasing trend of timber flows to markets from private forests over the past five years. However, there is still skepticism, mistrust and fear amongst private forest owners, saw millers, and forest administration that prevents the full use of the bundle of rights that legal and policy provisions have promised. An unusually slow pace of private forest registration, lengthy and multi stage processes for obtaining harvesting and transportation permits, and official bans on important commercial species, among others, are found to be the factors that most hinder the private forest owners’ and tree growers’ interests, and their rights and obligations with respect to the management and use of their private forest resources. It is concluded that a simplified permitting process along with programmatic support would promote and help to grow private forestry and that Nepal’s experience and lessons learned from community forest implementation would be a great asset to move towards this end. Connecting community forest user groups for organised and cooperative action, and mobilising their institutional strength and accumulated funds for pro-farmer technical and regulatory support would allow farmers to intensify tree plantations and forest management. Further steps are required to convince policymakers and secure necessary budgetary support to this end..

Abstract All the major wood-based companies in Louisiana offered Management Agreement Programs (MAPs) to nonindustrial private forest (NIPF) landowners in 1980. Five percent of all NIPF pinelands in Louisiana were enrolled in MAPs of the 11 companies that answered questions about the general features, extent, and possibilities for the future success of this type of program.

Abstract Pine seedling production at southern state nurseries is expected to increase from a 1980-81 level of 602 million seedlings to 702 million in 1982-83. The number of seedlings available for nonindustrial private forestry use will increase from 55 to 64 percent during the same period. Currently, over 40 percent of the seedlings planted on private forests are genetically improved. This assessment of trends in tree planting, although encouraging, supports predictions that future demands for timber will exceed available resources.

Forestry Practice

In Canton Thurgovia 12 000 hectares or 56% of the forested area, is privately owned. Within the framework of a total regrouping policy the number of plots per owner has been reduced to one or two since 1945 comprising almost the entire area of privately owned forest. A ban on the splitting up of plots prevents them from being split up again. The consequences of annual contributions and meetings of the legal forestry authorities is that groups of inheritors (Erbengemeinschaften)are disentangled and outside owners sell to local individuals who are interested. Thanks to good forestry practice yield is high, in as far as the wood is used. Although much of the private forest in the fruitful central plains still need to be restored, the regrouping of the forest prescribed by the Swiss Forest Laws has been abolished and without anything else being put in place. Practical, legal rules are urgently needed to regulate regrouping in order to ensure a common management of the forest in question.

Abstract One of the success indicator of private forest farming is an increase in farmers’ income, which is indicated by the large contribution of income from private forests. The size of the income is influenced by several factors, including the pattern of private forest management which will determine the quality products of private forests. However, currently, most of the private forest farmers have not placed the aspect of land management as the main factor determining the success of farming in private forests. This research is conducted to determine the role of land management on the income of private forest farmers in Central Lombok Regency. The research was conducted in three private forests in Central Lombok Regency, namely Pemepek, Setiling, and Sepakek Villages. The method used is interviews using questionnaire to 45 respondents who are selected purposively. The object of observation is land management which include plant maintenance, and harvesting; and farmers’ income from private forest and non-private forest. The data analysis was carried out in a descriptive qualitative manner. The results showed that in general, land management carried out by private forest farmers had not been able to increase income from private forests. However, farmers who carry out crop maintenance in the form replanting are able to produce a higher income than when farmers applied other land management activity. The combination of land management activity will improve their income. The more intensive land management, the higher the income will be obtained.

Private forest owners with and without agricultural background in the canton of Bern In Switzerland, private forest ownership was traditionally closely tied to agricultural farms. With the ongoing structural change in the agricultural sector, there is a growing number of private forest owners who do not have an agricultural background. In order to design policy measures, e.g. to increase wood harvest in private forests, it is necessary to understand the aims and motivations of these owners. This paper investigates to what extent private forest owners without an agricultural background differ from those with such a background. The analysis builds on empirical data collected in a representative, mail survey among private forest owners in the canton of Bern. Contrary to a wide-spread assertion that forest owners without an agricultural background have little forest-specific knowledge and lack interest in their forests, this study finds that they are often interested and estimate to have a high degree of knowledge. In accordance with studies conducted in Austria and Germany the results show that to forest owners without an agricultural background generating income from their forests is often a secondary goal. Leisure and recreation are often given higher priority.

Private Forest Management

Wood is one of the natural resources needed by humans. The high growth rate of the human population causes an increase in demand for wood.  Currently, one of the largest timber producers in West Java is private forests. Fulfillment of high demand for wood should be balanced with good management, so that is not to threat private forest sustainability. One of the areas with the private forest that is still actively undertaking private forest management activities is in Rancakalong District, Sumedang Regency. This study aims to identify the current management practice of private forests and to formulate sustainable development strategies. The data was collected through questionnaires and interviews, field observation, and secondary data collection. The respondent number of private forest farmers was 98 respondents. Snowball sampling techniques were used to interview government officials, middlemen or wood dealers. The analysis results at the input have an internal total score of 2,7, which shows the condition is at the medium stage and external total score of 3,17, which shows the public response to threats and opportunities are strong enough. At the matching stage, the result is that the management of private forest is the second quadrant, which means that the private forest is entering the growth stage. The study result shows that the first priority to be implemented in the Rancakalong private forest is to establish farmer organizations.Keywords: private forest, management, strategic, Rancakalong
