PREFACE
Forest management plan is an instrument for development having realistic (and not idealistic) objectives, yet maintaining of policy, with increasing socio-economic needs of evolving society and the availability of advanced technology, management plan prepared for a given forest area, can become an effective and valuable document for managing the forest resources. The present Forest Management Plan for the period 2009-2018 has been prepared for the academic interest and for the partial fulfillment of the professional B.Sc. (Hons.) in forestry course under the course title of “Forest Management Plan” and course No For-424. The working plan has been prepared by using the format taken from “Integrated Forest Management Plan for Sylhet Forest Division” by J. A. Canonizado (1998). However, presentation of suggestion for different working circles has made in different ways. Efforts have made to make the plan based on the new format but the format could not be strictly followed due to some constraints. The ultimate objectives are to prepare a management plan in order to sustained management. Overall work will be deeming successful when it can draw attraction and satisfaction of our teachers and the other forest officials worked for us, ever to some extent.
