Support for upland and forestry development activities in the eight study sites, though positive, was not substantial to conduct extensive analysis on the effect of government intervention on forest-tree use practices. Nevertheless, the practice of non-traditional farm systems (tree system of agro-forest) is desirable because it spares the use of public forests. Such systems have developed despite limited government intervention mechanisms. Significant relationships can be observed between forest, land and tree-use practices and farmers categorized according to land size/ownership. Upland project managers must grant more secure property rights to the small and medium landholders under the social forestry projects, particularly in their early stages. With respect to the landless, fuelwood comes mostly from farms, implying that this group is not that important as far as forest depletion from fuelwood gathering is concerned.
