1986
Plumptre, R. A. | Earl, D. E.
A paper presented to the IUFRO meeting on 'properties and utilisation of tropical timbers', Nov. 1984. Techniques developed in Uganda and Ghana are described by which small industries such as charcoal making, fuelwood production and mobile sawmilling, together with the growing of some food crops, were integrated with forest management to obtain enriched natural forest or a crop of Gmelina arborea with an overstorey of valuable young natural forest trees retained from the original forest. Benefits in terms of employment, output from the industries and food for the surrounding population are described. The need to demonstrate tangible benefits to local people if the forests are to be retained is emphasised.
