UTTARAKHAND FOREST RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PROJECT (UFRMP)

Eco Restoration

Rehabilitation of Degraded Forest


The following activities are proposed for degraded forest rehabilitation in the Eco-Restoration Model (ERM):
  • Protection of the selected areas from grazing, fire and other human activities, which are main causes of degradation of these areas.
  • Soil and moisture conservation measure, like construction of check dams, gully plugging, training of streams, digging of contour furrows along with seed sowing before silvicultural operations/under planting/ block plantations.
  • Silvicultural operations like singling, pruning and tending of already present rootstock to augment in-situ tree growth.
  • Artificial regeneration through afforestation activities in areas, which are blanks and poorly stocked.
  • Establishment of community managed nurseries in the VP areas and strengthening of departmental nurseries for supply of quality seedings.
