FOREWORD
Shimoga district has three Territorial Forest Divisions namely Shimoga, Sagar and
Bhadravathi. Shimoga Territorial Forest Division also has a small portion of Honnali
taluk of Davanagere district. Shimoga is primarily an agricultural district and people also
keep large herds of cattle. Besides the demand of fuelwood for domestic purposes there is
considerable demand of fuelwood for tobacco leaf curing, brick making and Arcanut
processing.
The district is unique as it has some of the excellent examples of Tropical Rain
Forests at one end and Dry Thron forests at the other end of distribution. The first
Working Plan for the district was written in 1916. Earlier the Working Plans were written
for certain forest areas. This is the first composite Working Plan for the whole Division.
Before the formation of the Forest Department in 1864, Sandalwood was being collected
by agents of the princely State and timber was being sold on license basis. Initially only
teak and other economically important trees were extracted from these forests.
Sandalwood ofcourse was one of the important materials to be extracted. A Sandal Oil
factory was started in 1936 in Shimoga and around the same time Iron & Steel Works and
Mysore Paper Mills were also started. These three industries made heavy demands on the
forests of Shimoga for firewood, charcoal and bamboos. A wood preservation plant was
set up to treat soft wood material for railway sleepers and also Balagi (Poeciloneuron
indicum) poles as transmission poles. A factory for production of match sticks was also
started in the district. Practically, therefore, starting from 1920 till about 1970 there was
very heavy demand on the forests of Shimoga district which resulted in considerable
degradation.
One of the finest examples of Tropical Rains forests existed in Agumbe area of this
Division which was disturbed considerably due to extraction in the past, particularly for
railway sleepers, plywood, matchwood and also for transmission poles. However, as
these forests have got rested during the last 30 years they have been recovering very well.
A Linear Tree Increment plot exists in the Agumbe Reserve Forests, which was laid
during 1940. The district also is the site for trials for afforestation of grass lands in the
high rainfall zone. In one of the sites near Agumbe over 30 species were tried for
afforestation of the grassy blanks in 1976. Acacia auriculiformis came out as the best
choice. Near Megaravalli certain exotics from Ivory Coast were tried and among them
few have done very well. Based on the results of success on Acacia auriculiformis,
Mysore Paper Mills (MPM) took up plantations of the species on a large scale with
intensive management and they have very satisfactory productivity. The MPM also has
well maintained research areas since 1985 wherein trials of various Australian Acacias,
Tropical Pines and several Eucalyptus species were taken up. A hybrid between Acacia
auriculiformis and Acacia mangium got evolved in the MPM plantations which is being
propagated by clonal methods for planting on a large scale. The Acacia plantations also
have been successfully under planted by the Department with several species of canes
and it is emerging as a good option. The Karnataka Forest Development Corporation also
has been doing planting with clonal material of Acacia hybrid and Eucalyptus species.
The Forest department in Karnataka (Mysore State) was created during the year
1864. During those days forests were looked at as source of revenue generation, therefore
as a result most of the accessible portions of the important forests were heavily exploited.
Until about 1980 and more so till 1970 there was emphasis on generation of revenue and
meeting the requirement and as a result working of the forests was not really systematic.
During 1980 a conscious decision was taken to stop clear felling the forest areas for
converting them into plantations. In 1991 felling of the green trees in the forests was
banned, except in case of thinnnings and in fuelwood plantations. As a result it could be
said that 1980 marked the beginning of conservation oriented forestry and there have
been progressive initiatives in this direction, since then.
This document is the first composite Working Plan for the Shimoga Forest
Division and the main thrust of this Working Plan is conservation and restoration. The
real thrust to preparation of the Working Plan was provided by the orders dated 12.12.96
of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in Writ Petition No. 202 of 1995.
We are thankful to Ministry of Environment and Forest, Govt. of India through

their Regional office of the Chief Conservator of Forests, Southern Zone, Bangalore and
their officers who have approved this Working Plan vide their No
F(C)A/11.6/108/WP/KAR dated 22nd January 2002.
We are grateful to the Govt. of Karnataka for having sanctioned the Working Plan
of Shimoga Forest Division under G.O.No.FEE 58 FAP 2001, Bangalore dated 16.3.2002
for the period 2001-02 to 2010-2011.
While acknowledging that there is scope to improve upon the present document
our aim in the first place has been to have a Working Plan document and revive the
professional approach of managing the forests through a Working Plan. I am sure my
colleagues will take this into consideration while managing the forests of Shimoga Forest
Division.
Sri. K.S. Aralikatti, IFS, Deputy Conservator of Forests, Working Plan, Shimoga
under the able guidance of Sri. Dipak Sarmah, IFS CCF, Working Plans, Bangalore, has
done a commendable job in preparing this Working Plan in a short time. Sri. K.S.
Aralikatti and his team deserve our commendation.

INTRODUCTION
Working Plan is a basic document that gives the Management and history of the
forests in the past and the present status and how it is to be managed in future. There was
no comprehensive working plan for the Shimoga Territorial division. However in the
past working plans were written to some of the State forests of Sacrebyle, Shankar &
Purdal SFs, Masarur SF, Ubbur, Bommenahalli, Kudi, Anesara SFs etc. An attempt is
made to write a comprehensive working plan for the present Shimoga Territorial division
excluding the areas handed over to Wild life wing and excluding Honnali range which
was handed over to now Davanagere division.
The Mysore forest department came into existence during 1864. Subsequently
during 1920s most of the forests were reserved as state forests in Shimoga division.
Earlier these forests were worked on a rough kind of merchantable selection system
where only sound Teak and other economically important trees were extracted with the
intention of collecting more revenue and to supply sleepers to Railways. Balagi poles
were extracted in large numbers for supply to the electrical department. A wood
preservation plant was started in Bhadravathi during the year 1928, which lead to the
usage of Dhuma timber for sleepers with the result large quantity of Dhuma and other
evergreen species were extracted on large quantity for supply of sleepers to railway
department. Large-scale destruction was made to the forests for the supply of charcoal to
the iron-ore factory at Bhadravathi. Apart from these some forest areas were leased to
matchwood and plywood companies on concession basis for removal of species of their
kind on selection basis which created further large gaps and destroyed younger
regeneration. The cumulative effect of unscientific extraction has lead to the present
status of forests.
Government of Karnataka imposed Ban on clear felling during 1983 and green
felling on 1987 due to which there was rest on evergreen, semi evergreen forest, which
showed improvement during this period. The recent National Forest Policy of 1988 and
Karnataka Forest Act, 1963 and Karnataka Forest Rules, 1969 and other relevant Acts
were kept in mind while recommending the prescriptions.
Recent satellite images of March 1999 is taken. By using GIS and Arcinfo
softwares the vegetative cover of the division is analysed and accordingly the
prescriptions were recommended for afforestation in blank areas and in areas which is
having less than 0.25 canopy density to meet the firewood requirement of the division. In
the interest of preserving rare Fauna and Flora and the existing medicinal plants a
biodiversity working circle is recommended in evergreen zone so as to give total
protection to the area. After analysing the inventory data extraction of Bamboo is
proposed by giving more importance for decongestion. Provision has been made to take
up any future afforestation programs in the afforestation-working circle where the density
is less than 0.25. Organised smuggling of Teak, Beete & Sandalwood is an inherent
problem existing in this division from the past. To combat this, protection camps are
recommended in sensitive areas. To monitor further encroachment of forestland forest
boundaries were surveyed and stones are fixed. It is proposed to inspect these boundaries
once in a year by the Working Plan wing so as to keep a check over further encroachment
and report independently to higher authorities.

SUMMARY OF FACTS ON WHICH THE PROPOSALS ARE

BASED
CHAPTER 1
DESCRIPTION OF THE TRACT DEALT WITH.
Section 1
NAME AND SITUATION
The tract dealt with under this plan comprises of the entire Shimoga territorial forest
division. There are six ranges in the division, namely Agumbe, Ayanur, Mandagadde, Rippenpet,
Shankar and Thirthahalli ranges. The forests of the division almost entirely lie within Shimoga
district extending over major parts of Shimoga and Thirthahalli taluks and a small part of
Hosanagara taluk. A very small portion of Honnalli taluk of Davanagere district is also included
in the division. (A small portion of Kumsi state forest in Ayanur range is located in Honnalli
taluk of Davangere district. As major portion of the state forest is in Shimoga division, the entire
state forest has been retained in the division for convenience of administration and management.)
2. The division touches Davanagere district in the north, Chickmagalore district in the south
and southwest, Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts in the west. The rivers Kumudvathi and
Kushavathi form the state forest boundaries of Masrur, Arasalu and Kumsi in the east. Tunga and
Tungabhadra rivers bound the division in the northwest.
3. The division is situated between latitudes 13o-21' and 14o-8' north and between longitudes
75o-5' to 75o-45' east of Greenwich. The entire forests of Shimoga division are distributed
towards the left of the Tunga and Tungabhadra rivers. These form the catchment of these rivers
as also of Kumadvathi and Kushavathi rivers. In the southwest, these forests occupy the crest of
the Western Ghats abutting the district boundary of Daksina Kannada and Udupi districts where
these are known as Agumbe Ghat forests of Agumbe Range. The forest belt extends towards
northeast along the district boundary of Chickmagalur district in small and isolated patches and
enters Shimoga district in Thirthahalli taluk, forming large, compact and continuous blocks of
forests of Mandagadde, Sakkarebyle, Shankar, Hanagere and Rippanpet forest ranges towards
west and north, on either side of Shimoga-Arasalu railway line and in the heart of Shimoga taluk.
There are small isolated and continuous patches of forests around Soulanga, along Shimoga-
Shikaripur and Ayanur-Honnali Roads. Most of the forest areas of Hanagere, Sakkarebyle and
Shankar ranges and part of Rippanpet range now come under the Shettyhalli wildlife sanctuary in
Shimoga wildlife division, which was created as an independent division in 1992. The areas
1
coming under the jurisdiction of Shettyhalli wildlife sanctuary (39, 560 ha) are managed as per
the prescriptions of an approved Wildlife Management Plan.
Section 2
CONFIGURATION OF THE GROUND
4. The topography of the tract is varied, undulating and hilly. The highest points in this area
are given below:
Shankargudda -1035.1 m in Shankar state forest.

Doddagudda -872.3 m in Agumbe state forest.
Kabbinmath -866.5 m in Sacrebyle state forest.
Kalbetta -855.2 m in Kumsi state forest.
5. The hill ranges in the south run in parallel lines from north to south as the Western Ghats
with spurs extending east and west with deep ravines and broken ridges. In the centre of
Shimoga taluk, the hill ranges run in east-west and north-south directions. The vegetation is
abundant on the hills, middle and lower slopes, whereas on the undulating and plain ground it is
open and of poor quality. In Thirthahalli taluk and major part of Shimoga as well as Hosanagar
taluks the land is very undulating with little plain ground. Precipitous to moderate and gentle
slopes are of common occurrence in the south, southwest and northeast in contrast to plain areas
in the north and east.
6. The network of rivers and streams is another characteristic feature of this area. The main
river of the division is Tunga in the east, which after joining with Bhadra at Kudli, flows towards
north as Tungabhadra river. A number of streams in the south and west join Tunga river, thus
draining the water towards southeast in Thirthahalli taluk. In Shimoga taluk most of the streams
originate in the hills and drain eastwards into the Tunga and Bhadra rivers. The Kumudvathi
river flows northwards in Rippenpet range on the western border of the division joining
Tungabhadra river at a distance outside the boundary limits of Shimoga district. Except for some
swampy areas in the north and west, the drainage is satisfactory. The water table is low in the
malnad areas and at times there is acute shortage of water during summer.
Section 3
GEOLOGY- ROCK AND SOIL
7. The underlying geological formation is of gneissic origin. The ghat forests are principally
of gneissic composition interspersed occasionally by quartzite, mica-schist and granite. The rock
gneiss distinguishes itself as champion gneiss type in the south and peninsular gneiss type in the
north. Horneblend schists cover the northern portion extending as a narrow belt along the crest of
the Ghat. The Balehalli state forest is nearly free from schist, the underlying rock here being
almost entirely champion gneiss. The minerals commonly found in the rock are felspar, biotite,
horneblende, black mica and garnet. Iron ore is found in Nisanigudda in Balehalli state forest.
Islands of biotite mica-schist with garnets are found in fairly large bits in the eastern and
northeastern portions of Agumbe forests. The surface rock is often a bed of laterite in
discontinuous patches varying in thickness up to 20 feet extending from crest of the Ghat up to
2
the eastern boundary of the forests. Similar rock type formations along with granite rock occur in
forests of Sacrebyle range. Limestone occurs in small quantity in this region. Manganese ore is
found in some state forests of the division including Kumsi state forest.
8. Over a considerable portion of the tract, which consists of hill slopes, the soil is the result
of the decomposition of gneiss below and consists of ferruginous sandy loam. The soil is sandy
loam, coloured red or dark depending upon the iron content and humus. In the valleys and on flat
undulating land, the soil is secondary having been transported from elsewhere and is gravelly
loam, of lateritic or granitic composition very rich in humus, the layer of decaying, leech
infected, being often three inches and over deep, and sustains better tree growth. On hilltops and
steep slopes the soil is shallow and incapable of maintaining high forest. Various types of soil -
clay, red, sandy loam, deep reddish loam, laterite and gravelly and boulder type- occur as a result
of disintegration and decomposition of rocks. In general as one goes from east to west, the soil
gets deeper and richer and thus providing favourable conditions for a better and denser type of
growth. Heavy clay patches along the banks of streams and rivers with almost stagnant
waterlogged conditions do not favour better growth.
9. The soil is in general porous and well drained, but large, nearly flat, grassy blanks are
common in the southern portion of the area. Laterite frequently outcrops in such places and the
soil is consequently shallow, un-retentive of moisture and generally unsuitable for the root
system to establish.
Section 4
CLIMATE
10. Local aspect and elevation influence the climate. The climate is of monsoon type. It is
moist and warm except from November to the end of January when it is cool and pleasant.
During March, April and May the climate is hot. March is the hottest and driest month when fire
occurrences are frequent. The foothills and the plain areas are hotter than the plateau.
11. The intensity of rainfall is more during June to September by the regular southwest
monsoon. The break of the monsoon is generally attended by high velocity winds. The highest
rainfall is recorded at Agumbe. The rainfall and temperature data are appended in Annexures –
1a and 1b. The temperature varies between 12°C to 38°C depending upon the factor of
elevation. In Agumbe the air is humid throughout the year. Humidity is lowest during February
and March. Misty and foggy weather is common from November to January.
12. The leeches become active with the break of the monsoon or the first heavy pre-monsoon
showers. During the rainy season they are found everywhere in the evergreen forests and render
working in these areas painful. By the beginning of December, January they disappear generally
from all places except moist localities along the banks of perennial streams and damp Sholas.
13. The rainfall, however, is one of the deciding factors for the abundance of dense and better
quality of vegetation. Besides, warmth, which is certainly the second controlling factor, has
affected not only the quality but also the quantity of a better type of vegetation in most of the
areas. Aspect as well as altitude to a limited extent also affects the nature of growth, abundance
and distribution of species. According to Dr. Krishnaswami Kadambi, Officer-in-charge of
3
Working Plans and Forest Surveys in the erstwhile Mysore State, wind also seems to affect the
form of tree growth in particular reference to the middle and higher slopes.
Section 5
WATER SUPPLY
14. The major rivers Tunga, Tungabhadra, Kumudvathi and a number of their tributaries are
the main sources of water supply. Some of these are perennial. Water scarcity is common during
summer, as the water table is low. The streams that overflow during rainy season often get
reduced to mere tickle, hardly enough to provide water to a small population also. The other
sources of water of considerable use are tanks and anicuts like the one in Gajanur, which stores
water of the Tunga river.
Section 6
DISTRIBUTION OF AREA
15. The total forest area coming under the purview of this working plan is 67551.44 hectares
of which 26388.52 hectares are State forests and 35843.36 hectares are Minor forests. The forest
areas are distributed over six ranges as shown below:

SURVEY POSITION
16. Most of the forests have been surveyed by the Superintendent of Forest Survey and his
staff. Printed maps in the scale 4 inches to 1mile are available for limited number of forests. A
number of these forests have also been surveyed by the Survey of India and brought into
topographical maps in 1 inch to 4 mile and 1:50,000 scales. Subsequently, it appears no survey
has been conducted by the Survey of India and the old maps are in use. Based on the boundary
description in the notifications, the process of survey and demarcation of the notified forest area
by fixing stone pillars is going on since 1979 by the Working Plan division, Shimoga. Almost all
the forest areas of the division have been surveyed and demarcated. During the course of survey
and demarcation, encroachments have been noticed in forest areas adjacent to the villages. Out of
a total forest area of 67,551.44 hectares, an extent of 64,501.40 hectares has been surveyed
leaving a balance of 3,050.04 hectares to be surveyed and demarcated. Details of enclosures
range wise, SF/MF/RF wise with survey number details are annexured vide Annexure – 37.
Section 8
WORKING PLAN POSITION
17. There was no comprehensive working plan for the entire Shimoga division in the past.
Working plan reports were written only for some of the important state forests as mentioned
below:
1. Working plan report of Sacrebyle, Shankar and Purdal SF 1916

2. Working plan report of Masrur SF 1917

STATE OF BOUNDARIES.
19. Forest boundaries have been demarcated for almost all the areas by clearing to a width of
2 to 3 mtrs and fixing stone pillars of size 145 cms x 20 cms x 15 cms for every six chains. In
some cases, there are a number of enclosures within the forest areas. These also have been
demarcated on the ground. In addition, for the purpose of smooth management, each forest has
been divided into blocks and compartments by fixing G.I.Plates indicating block and
compartment numbers.
Section10

CHAPTER II
THE FOREST
Section 1
COMPOSITION AND CONDITION OF THE CROP
Forest Types.
26. According to the classification Mr. H.G. Champion and S.K. Seth, the forests of Shimoga
division can be classified into the following types:
1. Southern tropical wet evergreen forests (1A/C4),

2. Southern tropical Semi evergreen forests (2A/C2),
3. South tropical moist deciduous forests (3B/C2) and
4. Southern tropical dry deciduous forests ( 5A/C2).
5. South tropical Scrub forests.
27. There are about 13,000 hectares of evergreen and semi-evergreen forests, about 23,000
hectares of closed deciduous forests, about 12,500 hectares of plantations and about 19,000
hectares of degraded and open forest lands in the division.
Southern tropical wet evergreen forests. 1A/C4
28. The tropical wet evergreen forests mainly occur in Agumbe state forest and Balehalli
state forest of Agumbe range.
29. R.S. Troup, in his book " Silviculture of Indian trees" calls this zone of forests as
"Tropical evergreen or Rain-Forest". He describes these as follows: -
"The tropical evergreen or rain forests are characterised by the great luxuriance of their
vegetation which consists of several tiers, the highest containing lofty trees, often with
buttressed bases, reaching a height of 150 feet. The intermediate tiers consist mainly of
evergreen trees crowded through and struggling for light. There is luxuriant growth of
climbers while the trees are covered by numerous epiphytes."
30. Dr. K. Kadambi calls these forests as Evergreen Ghat rain forests". To him the word
"Ghat" has a special significance as the forests exhibit certain local peculiarities that have
resulted from the ecological conditions prevalent at the crest of the ghat. According to him, in
addition to moisture and warmth, both of which are abundant and have been recognised as
necessary for the development of the climax type of growth in the tropics, the effect of wind has
decidedly influenced the local distribution of species, the condition of forests and the size and
shape of some of its component members. Altitude by itself has exercised no appreciable
influence on the forest, but it is the effect of wind that seems to have decided the vertical
distribution of species and the variation of the shapes of some trees. In the ghat crest region,
from the forest floor to the region of the crown of tallest trees, there is one more of evergreen
17
vegetation in which differentiation of the so-called " forest storeys" is scarcely possible. It is not
the elevation aspect that sets a limit to the tree growth but the wind and the isolation. The growth
consequently hugs the leeward sides of the top of the hills, and the tree limit is placed
considerably higher in the leeward than on the windward slopes.
31. Three distinct growth regions are distinguishable:
1. The region of evergreen growth from the toe of the ghat (500 ft) to altitudes of 800 to 1000ft,
2. The ghat crest region proper from about 1000 ft to about 2,500 ft and
3. The region of the sparsely clad and bare hilltop lying above the ghat crest region.
32. The attitudinal distribution of the types is here conspicuously different from the "Table
land shola type" although temperature and rainfall are more or less the same in both localities or
the latter factor rainfall is actually more favourable for the growth in the ghat head zone than in
the table land of shola forests. For this difference, the effect of wind is primarily responsible, and
to a smaller extent the pronounced western aspect of these localities.
Description of the growth regions - Vertical and Horizontal:
The region of evergreen growth from the toe of the ghat to altitudes of 800 to 1000 feet:
33. The forest contains an intimate and rich mixture of mostly evergreen species covering
the lower half of the steep western slope of the ghat. Floristically, it is characterised by the
absence of two of the most important evergreen species, Poeciloneuron indicum (Yenne mara)
and Dipterocarpus indicus (Dhuma). The prominent trees belong to the genera Hopea,
Artocarpus, Sterculia, Holigarna, Eugenia, Diospyros, Garcinia and Chrysophyllum. In the
lower portions of this zone Lagerstroemia, Grewia, Terminalia, Pterocarpus, Bombax, etc,
appear. Palms and canes are abundant at the top and make way for big bamboo further down.
The ghat crest region, from about 1000 to about 2,500 feet:
34. This contains the most luxuriant evergreen forest and one that holds the most valuable
timbers of the evergreen forest zone in the state. It is the home of Poeciloneuron indicum (Yenne
mara), Messua ferrea (Naga sampige), Dipterocarpus indicus (Dhuma), Hopea parviflora,
Dysoxylum malabaricum (White Cedar or Devadari), Ebony (Kari mara), Cedrella toona (Red
Cedar or Gandhagarige) and a host of other species associated with the climax type of evergreen
growth.
35. The common associate tree species are the following:
Palaquium ellipticum (Hadasale), Aglaia odoratissima (Kempanola), Schleichera trijuga

(Kusum), Canarium strictum (Kaidhupa), Hopea wightiana (Hyga), Bischofia javanica
(Neelimara), Nephelium longanum (Kendale), Calophyllum elatum (Surhonne), Machilus
macrantha (Gulmavu), Gordonia obtusa, Lophopetalum wightianum (Banate), four species of
Garcinia, three species of Myristica (Rampathre) three of Litsaea, five of Diospyrous, three of
Holigarna, at least six species of Eugenia, seven of Ficus, two of Elaeocarpus, two of
Cinnamomum (Dalchinni), one of Euonymus and two varieties of Mangifera (Mavu). Among
the species in the underwood are Lansium anamalayanum (Chowdi mara), Humboldtia brunonis
18
(Hasige), Polyalthia coffeoides (Mara gowri), Unona pannosa. Chailletia gelonioides and three
species of Psychotria. There are three erect plams: Caryota urens (Byne), Pinanga dicksonii and
Arenga wightii (Doddasalu), at least five climbing palm species of Calamus, three species of
Pandanus, at least two species of the reed bamboo species of Oxytenanthera.
The region of the sparsely clad and bare hilltop lying above the ghat crest region:
36. Here the trees are generally stunted and low branchy and leaves frequently smaller than
what one finds for the same species within the ghat crest region. The genera Olea, Wendlandia
allophyllus (Kansuri), Eugenia, Symplocos, Glochidion, Flectronia, Linociera, etc. are
represented here and bushy Strobilanthes fringes the stunted tree growth. The hilltops are grassy,
with some bracken (Pteris aquilina) and Phoenix humilix.
Southern Tropical Semi evergreen Forests - 2A/C2 :
37. These forests mostly occur in Thirthahalli, Mandagadde and Sacrebyle ranges besides the
borders of moist deciduous forests of Shankar and Rippanpet ranges in places of high elevations
having moderate to heavy rainfall. All transitional types, from moist deciduous to pure
evergreen, are included in this type. These occur in the western and the southwestern region of
the division in most cases except in pockets in other places. Elevation, wind, rainfall and aspect
sometimes create conditions to show an affinity of such forests more towards the evergreen
condition. These types of forests are seen in the state forests of Shirur, Kunda, Ubbur,
Hegargudda, Nartur, Shedgar, Tunga, Mrugavade and Hadaginamakki.
38. Some of the areas under this type have in the past been subjected to unsystematic heavy
felling and repeated fires. This resulted in formation of large and small blanks running over
considerable length and supporting poor growth of the important species except in depressions
and along streams or rivers where species occurring in the evergreen zones do come out in better
form and growth.
39. Except for some specific and important evergreen species, which are of very scattered
and un-dispersed nature, the trees do not attain much height and girth as in the evergreen zone.
Some of the evergreen species are distributed here and there together with associations of Mathi,
Nandi, Beete and Tadasalu along with Surhonne, Mango, Neralu, etc. Some of the blank areas in
these forests have been planted up by Accacia auriculiformis and tropical Pines.
South tropical moist deciduous forests- 3B/C2:
40. The forests of Purdal, Anesara, Shankar, Sacrebyle, Hanagere, Bommenahalli, Mugudthi,
Kumsi, Sudur, Part of Kudi, Masrur, Arasalu part of Kumudvathi and Burve are typical
representative areas of this type. The western and northwestern aspects of the hillocks of these
forests show a tendency of a better quality as compared to southern and eastern aspects. Teak
being the principal species is found scattered all over the forests especially in areas with soils in
situ and having good drainage. The forest growth is better along the nalas and streams as well as
in areas with good drainage. In general the growth represents only a poor quality lacking in pole
crop having been hacked in the past. The regeneration of Teak except in patches is very poor.
The other associates are Mathi, Hunal, Yethiga, Honne, Buruga, Neralu, Tupra, Jambe, Bende,
Godda, etc. Sandal in various girth classes both sound and unsound is also of general occurrence.
19
Sandal comes up naturally. The undergrowth in forest is Lantana, Kaduseege, Tandarsi, Kare,
Bamboo, Helicteris, Flemingia, Desmoduin, etc. Big bamboo occurs mostly along nalas and
depressions, while small bamboo is found mostly on hill slopes and in plain areas of semi dry
conditions. A few climbers are Seege, Spatholobus, Kanjga, etc.
41. The regeneration of teak as already indicated is poor in general whereas that of Jambe is
good. Mathi, Nandi, Hunalu, Beete etc. have moderate regeneration.
42. These forests are subjected to encroachments by the villagers and the forests are found to
be subjected to hacking. Unsystematic felling and mal treatments in the past have completely
changed the dense nature of the forests with better growth to poor, open and scrubby type. Most
of the places have been found to be devoid of good and sound timber which has been cut and
removed in the past without strictly following the principles of silviculture. The southern and
eastern portions represent the degraded type of forests with almost mixed species with trees
having no proper form and shape. Small bamboo has in most places invaded the areas.
South tropical dry deciduous forests 5A / C2:
43. The mixed dry deciduous forests are found mostly in areas with rainfall of 30" to 50" in
Shimoga taluk in Ayanur range. These are also spread over in other ranges in the minor and
district forests of the division. These forests contain shrubby growth and also scattered
miscellaneous species such as Mathi, Nandi, Hunal, Honne, Yethiga, Beete, Dindiga, Neralu,
Jambe, Buruga, Thare and Teak but is of poor quality. The lower slopes and the foot of the hills
as well as plain areas generally contain these forests. These areas, in majority, do not have better
drainage and except in patches of good quality soils, the rest of the area has poor and shallow
soils representing erosional processes in various degrees. The area in many places is also
infested with shrubs and weeds. This type is found in Devabal block I and II, Kunchenahalli,
Muddinkoppa, Anesara etc.
South tropical Scrub forests:
44. These types of forests are found in northern portion of Ayanur, Shankar and Honnali
ranges. Honnali range is transferred to Davanagare division during the reorganisation of the
district during 1999. The rainfall is less than 700 mm per annum, the drainage in these areas is
very poor and soil is shallow. Here the biotic factors like encroachments, hacking and grazing
have played dominant role resulting in stunted, malformed, unsound, bent and crooked trees
scattered here and there. The trees are branchy and do not attain much height, girth and shape.
The common species are Mathi, Dindiga, Zizyphus, Albizzia, Acacia species, Randia, Muthuga,
Dalbargia paniculata, etc. Under growth is mostly Eupatorioum and Lantana. Regeneration is
very poor as the areas are subjected to heavy grazing and fire.
45. Regeneration of native species is good in evergreen and semi-evergreen forests of

Agumbe and Thirthahalli ranges. But the growth is very poor around the villages. Villagers hack
these plants for green manure resulting in higher population of unsound trees. In moist deciduous
forests of Arsaal and Mandagadde ranges, regeneration of Jambe is profuse. Other species like
Nandi, Mathi, Hunal and Beete are moderate in occurence. Regeneration of Teak in these areas is
very poor. Control of forest fires definitely improves the natural regeneration in these areas. In
20
dry deciduous and scrub forests of Shankar and Ayanur ranges, fire destroys the natural
regeneration every year. Effective protective measures from fire and grazing are essential for the
improvement of natural regeneration in these areas.
Fauna:
46. The evergreen forests are less frequented by the wild animals. Wildlife is generally
guided by the prevalence of food and if the natural food required by any animal is absent or
inadequate, that animal is also scarce. The relative scarcity of carnivores in these areas is due to
the excess humidity and to the scarcity of the deer population, their natural food. Carnivores like
Tiger and Panther are therefore scarce and visit these forests during the drier periods and migrate
to locality of less rainfall in the rainy seasons. Panthers, both spotted and black, have been
encountered. Bears are fairly common.
47. Wild pigs are common in areas round the cultivated fields and cause considerable
damage to the field crops. Spotted deer is found in open moist deciduous forests confined to
Mandagadde, Arasal and parts of Ayanur ranges.
48. Herbivorous animals such as Barking deer, Spotted deer, Sambhar, Elephant, Bison are
distributed throughout the deciduous forests.
Condition of the crop:
49. The general condition of the forest does not indicate the original luxuriant and
magnificient growth on account of over exploitation in the past. Most of the economically
important species were exploited for sleepers, plywood, matchwood and electrical transmission
poles. Exploitation in the past years was mainly revenue oriented. Over exploitation has created
larger openings, which resulted in degradation of forests. Heavy lopping of trees for the purpose
of green manure for Arecanut gardens near the cultivated lands has also contributed to the
degradation of the forest.
Status of natural regeneration:
50. Except in evergreen forests, status of regeneration is not satisfactory, as all the age
classes of different species are not represented. This can be seen from the regeneration survey
and graphs and "J" Curve, which are in Annexures – 6a and 6b.
Section 2
INJURIES TO WHICH THE CROP IS LIABLE
51. Little or no damage is caused by the climatic factors. Frost is unknown and except for
occasional uprooting of tree due to wind, no damage results from natural causes.
Fire:
52. Fire hardly occurs within the evergreen zone, as the undergrowth is not inflammable. Fire
occurs mainly in deciduous forests in the months from middle of January to the end of May.
21
Considerable damage is caused to forest growth by the annual fires. Fire destroys humus, causes
unsoundness of the trees and burns younger regeneration. Forests situated on either side of the
public roads and near villages and towns are very susceptible to fire damages. Forests containing
dry bamboo clumps are also more vulnerable.
53. The villagers set fire to the forest in their vicinity to get good flush of new grass. Fire
protection measures being carried out include clearing and burning of demarcation lines, fire
tracing of inspection paths in plantations and engaging of firewatchers during the fire season.
Fire protection measures need to be taken timely and comprehensively. Otherwise, there is all
possibility that such measures become totally futile and sometimes, counterproductive..
Man:
54. Man is the chief source of injury or damage to the vegetation. Theft of forest produce in
almost all the forests in the neighborhood of towns and villages is very common. It is difficult if
not impossible to check this. Earlier, firewood was allowed to be removed by cartloads on
prepaid license. Although this system has been stopped, illegal removal of firewood by bullock-
carts, bicycles and on headloads is persisting. Green trees are usually cut in the forests and the
material allowed to dry for sometime before removing to the consuming centres as firewood.
Smuggling of timber is again a threat to the forests. Thefts of forest produce even from
plantations are of common occurrence. The smugglers come in an organised manner in big
groups of 40-50 persons. There have been many instances of clash between the staff of the Forest
Department and smugglers; even deaths have been reported in both sides. Smuggling of
Sandalwood is rampant in Thirthahalli and Mandagadde ranges, which is evident from the
number of cases booked and also the extraction of Sandal stumps in these ranges. Unauthorised
cultivation and encroachments are increasing day by day.
Grazing:
55. Grazing by domestic cattle in forest areas is on the increase as the domestic cattle
population has increased many folds. Excessive trampling by cattle renders the soil surface very
hard and compact, thereby obstructing the growth of natural regeneration. Some seedlings like
Burga, Honne and Sandal are heavily browsed
Wild animals:
56. Bison, Sambar, Spotted deer, Wild boar do damage by browsing the regeneration of
various species, especially Beete, Buruga and Honne. They also strip the bark of younger
saplings. Pigs, porcupine and rodents sometimes cause large-scale destruction of nurseries. It is
also noticed that monkeys and wild pigs destroy the young bamboo rhizomes during the rainy
season.
Insects:
57. Owing to the mixed nature of the forests, damage by insects is not found to be
considerable. Insects cause some damage to plantations. Two varieties of caterpillars have been
observed on Teak. . Teak is liable to attack by the defoliator Hyblaea puera and the skeletoniser
22
Hapalia machaeralis. Other insects also cause some damage to plantations. However it is not of
a serious concern.
Offences:
58. In all the forest areas whether accessible or not, the forest offences are on the increase.
Teak and Rosewood smuggling is more common in Ayanur, Arasalu and Shankar ranges
adjoining the townships. The use of wireless network and protection camp at Doddamathi in
Ayanur Range has checked the occurrence of offences to some extent.
Poaching:
59. Illicit shooting of Sambar and Spotted deer is prevalent in the forest areas adjoining to
villages. Although such instances are rare, vigilant watch in and around forest areas is required.
Encroachment:
60. Encroachment is more prevalent in the moist and dry deciduous forests than the
evergreen forests and is seen increasing day by day. Ragi, Jawar, Maize, Ginger and Rubber are
grown on the encroached forestlands. Encroachment of forestland for extension of cultivation
has caused considerable damage to the forests. The total encroachment to the forestland in
Shimoga division is 3466.00 ha.
61. The details of encroachments in state forests and minor forests and action taken to evict
these encroachments are appended in Annexure – 7.
23
CHAPTER III
UTILISATION OF THE PRODUCE
Section 1
AGRICULTURAL CUSTOMS AND WANTS OF THE POPULATION
62. The population of the division is largely dependent on agriculture. Agriculture which was
much neglected in the past has been considerably extended and is now of great importance. Due
to the rise in the price of food grains every conceivable plot of land outside the forest, though
required for grazing etc., has been brought under the plough. With the law of succession, which
constantly fragments the holdings bound by expensive social conventions and with no reserve to
face a bad year, the average farmer is always in debt. The main crops are Paddy, Maize, Jawar,
Sugarcane, Areca, Banana, etc. Details regarding human population, livestock population,
occupations, land holding patterns, etc are given in Annexure – 34.
63. Large farms of modern techniques in agriculture have been just started but form still a
very small percentage. Only the age-old ploughs drawn by draught cattle are in vogue. There is
an increasing demand for timber and other forest produce for agricultural implements,
construction or repair to dwelling houses, firewood, green leaves, fencing material, etc. The
agriculturists mostly depend on forest, generally through illicit removals, and meet their bonafide
requirements. This is impossible to check. The good will of the villagers who are living close to
forest is a necessity. In view of the increase in price of timber and other forest produce, theft not
only for bonafide use but also for trade is very often resorted to. However it is difficult, if not
impossible to check this unauthorised trade.
64. Grazing is one of the essential needs of the local population for their cattle. The people
maintain large herds of cattle for the purpose of getting manure. With the increase of livestock
and the conversion of traditional grazing grounds for farming and other purposes, forest lands are
under a lot of pressure and are facing serious grazing problems. Stall-feeding is not very popular
in the locality. Hundreds of cattle, which find unhindered entry into the forest, cause severe
damage to the forest by way of grazing, browsing and trampling. Maximum damage is caused to
the younger regeneration. Therefore there is immediate need to divert this pressure to unreserved
areas and to promote stall-feeding locally.
Section 2
MARKETS AND MARKETABLE PRODUCTS
Markets:
65. Various kinds of timber from dead and fallen trees and teak poles are removed to
Government timber depots. From the depots timber is supplied to Government departments and
public at retail price fixed and revised from time to time. Timber left after making these supplies
is auctioned periodically. Merchants from Shimoga, Bangalore and other places including Kerala
and Maharashtra States attend these auction sales.
24
Marketable products:
Timber:
66. Timber is the principal marketable produce. The kinds of timber in demand are chiefly
Teak, Beete, Honne, Mathi, Hunal, Nandi, Surhonne, Hebbalasu, Yethyaga, Bilidevdar and
Neralu. Teak poles obtained from thinning in teak plantations find ready sale in periodical
auctions.
Firewood:
67. The local demand for firewood from the villages situated close to forest is considerable.
In addition there is large-scale demand of firewood for Tobacco curing, brick making, Arecca
nut processing, etc. There is demand for firewood from distant places like Davanagere,
Chitradurga, etc. The firewood requirement is met partly from harvest of Acacia auriculiformis
plantations of the department and partly from the harvest of captive plantations of the MPM Ltd.
The MPM Ltd., as per the agreement conditions of the lease, concedes 12.5 % of the harvested
produce to the Forest Department as lease rent for the land. The lops and tops of the plantations
after harvest and removal of firewood and pulpwood are used by the neighbouring villagers.
Bamboos:
68. At present dead bamboo is removed for supplying to the Mysore Paper Mills,
Bhadravathi. The local demand for green bamboo is limited. However, the demand from the
Medars from Bangalore, Kolar, Chitradurga, Tumkur and the other bamboo-based industries like
Agarabathi making is considerable.
Sandal Wood:
69. Dead and fallen sandalwood trees and stumps / roots of illicitly removed trees are
extracted from forests departmentally and supplied to Government Sandalwood depot at
Shimoga for further conversion. Supplies to various agencies are made from the Sandalwood
depot.
Minor Forest Products.
70. Various minor forest products are available in the division and are leased to contractors
periodically. The common minor forest produces are Soapnut, Myrobalans, Tamarind fruits,
Tanning barks, Tupra leaves, Honeybee wax, seeds, non-edible oil seeds etc.
Section 3
MODES OF TRANSPORT
Road:
71. The chief means of communication and transport of forest produce to places within and
outside the division are roads. The Bangalore - Honnavara National Highway passes through
25
Shimoga. The Hospet - Mangalore National Highway passes through Thirthahalli and Agumbe
towns. These roads connect almost all the areas of the division by linking these with other
district and forest roads.
Rail:
72. Meter gauge Railway lines connect Arsalu to Shimoga. Shimoga is connected to Birur,
Bangalore, Mumbai etc. by Broad gauge Railway lines.
Section 4
METHOD OF HARVEST AND COST
73. Since 1983, no extraction of timber in the division is done due to ban on clear felling
issued in the year 1983 by the Government of Karanataka. Only salvaging of dead and fallen
timber and firewood has been carried out on a limited scale departmentally. Thinning of Teak
plantations with a view to improving the status of stands has been carried out, but related records
have not been maintained properly. Acacia auriculiformis plantations have been clear felled to
meet the fuel wood requirement of the local people. After the trees are marked and felled, logs
are prepared out of them. The prepared timber is removed by means of Lorries to various timber
depots. The logs are classified as per the standard classification norms and stacked in the depots.
Departmental elephants are sometimes used for dragging timber, poles in inaccessible and
difficult parts of forests to places from where the logs can be carted in lorries. The cost for
extraction and transportation of timber varies from Rs 2000 to 3000 per cubic meter.
Section 5
PRICES
74. Since no green trees were felled, average sale prices for dead and fallen timber were
found to fetch comparatively lesser price than the timber obtained from green trees due to
generally poor quality. Still the revenue obtained in the division by sales of Timber, Firewood,
Bamboo and NTFP is given in the concerned Annexure – 8.

CHAPTER IV
PAST SYSTEM OF MANAGEMENT
Section 1
GENERAL HISTORY
77. The Mysore Forest Department was formed in 1864. Since then there was no
comprehensive working plan for the entire Shimoga forest division. However, after declaring
some of the forests as state forests, separate working schemes and working plans were written for
different state forests. So the past history of the forests has been taken mainly from the few
working plan reports of the state forests of Shimoga division. In the past, importance was given
mainly to selection felling and improvement felling. Collection of revenue was the primary
objective. Timber was mainly brought to the depots for sale. Some of the timber was utilised for
railway sleepers and electric transmission poles.
78. Before the formation of the Forest Department in 1864, Sandalwood was collected
through the "Amildars" of the taluk, who employed on their own responsibility men called
"Mangers" who felled, prepared and collected the wood in small local stores called "Pattadis"
scattered all over the taluk. When sufficient quantity was brought in, it was sent to division
stores where the wood was classified and sold in due course. On formation of the Forest
Department, "Mangers" were placed under the offices of the department. Collection of
Sandalwood was done partly through contract and partly departmentally. A revised
classification of prepared wood based on that obtaining in Bombay was introduced in the
Sandalwood depots from 1897.
Section 2
HISTORY OF MANAGEMENT OF SOME IMPORTANT STATE FORESTS
Agumbe and Balehalli state forests:
79. Till 1910, long before these forests were brought under reserve, coffee and cardamom
planting seems to have been practiced by the white planters, who made dense Malanad their
home. The Agumbe traveler's bungalow is said to have been built by cardamom planters. It is
reported that kumri cultivation (Shifting cultivation) was in practice in those days in Balehalli
state forest and Agumbe state forest.
80. About the year 1910, exploitation of timbers like Kiralbogi, Hebbalasu, Halasu,
Nagasampige, Devadari and others commenced in most accessible portions of Agumbe state
forest. Localities adjoining Yelimane and Agumbe villages were worked. About the year 1914,
Mr. M.G. Rama Rao, Conservator of Forests in Mysore, first drew the attention of the
Government to the pent up resources of ghat forests. He appointed Mr. Rao Bahadhur
M.Ramarao as a special officer for investigating the forest resources. Mr. Rama rao within a
short time with all the difficulties of transportation and communication published his list of
Mysore trees, which fairly gave the variety of wealth of evergreen vegetation for the first time.
29
81. In 1914, Mr. G.Krishnamurthy Naidu, Deputy Conservator of Forests, was placed on a
special duty to investigate and report on the industrial potentialities of ghat forests of Shimoga.
During the short time at his disposal he studied and surveyed and made an estimation of
available commercial forest resources of ghat forests of Shimoga. His book "Commercial guide
to the forest economic products of Mysore” laid a foundation for progress of exploitation of
evergreen forests of Mysore.
Balagi pole supply period:

(History from 1922 - 1932)
82. For the first time, efforts at opening up of Agumbe area were made under the direct
supervision of Shri. B.V. Ramaayengar, Conservator of Forests, Mysore. This period is marked
by supply of Balagi poles to the electrical department. The main difficulty of transportation of
45 feet long poles by the carts posed a real problem to transport and bring to the main roads. In
1928 the cresolting plant (Wood preservation plant) was started at Bhadravathi which opened a
new era in utilisation of Dhuma timber for railway sleepers. The treated Dhuma timber was
accepted as a sleeper wood by Mysore railways. As a result large-scale exploitation of this
timber was started. During 1933 summer for the first time about 80,000 Cft of timber was felled
for conversion into sleepers. In the following years still larger quantities of timber were felled,
converted and used with the result that the wood which was practically unknown a decade ago
became one of the foremost sleeper woods in South India.
83. The forests of Agumbe and Balehalli were not brought under any systematic treatment
until 1921 when the first working plan based on sound silvicultural principles drawn up by Shri.
S.Venkatavaradaayengar, came into force. Before this the forests were worked on the basis of a
system of a rough kind of selection of merchantable wood. Earlier to this there was no
exploitation worth mentioning even by the local population because of the availability of large
areas of unreserved forests from which local demands were met.
84. Exploitation of Balagi poles, which was called thinning of natural forests, did not disturb
the canopy of the evergreen forests. However, with the advent of sleeper operation, the evergreen
canopy was seriously disturbed. Large gaps were created and the virgin soil was thus exposed to
sun resulting in its rapid deterioration. These openings were invaded by perennial weeds and
softwood species shutting out the regeneration of evergreen tree species causing regression from
climax type of growth.
85. These forests were also leased to plywood and matchwood companies on concessional
basis for removal of species of their kind on selection basis, which created further gaps. These
concessions to the various industries were withdrawn by the Government a decade ago giving
complete rest to these forests for recuperation. The Government during the year 1987 stopped
felling of green trees. The gaps created in the forest were subsequently planted by Acacia
auriculiformis. Due to this the soil has improved and the indigenous species like Dhupa,
Gulmavu, Bhogi, Dalchini and Canes are planted as under planting in Acacia auriculiformis
plantations.
30
Shankar and Sacrebyle Ranges:
86. Prior to 1902 these forests were reserved as timber forests at the time when the forest
conservancy was introduced in the state in the year 1863. Accessible areas of teak badly
suffered a heavy depletion of growing stock owing to reckless felling carried out by the
contractors. Between 1902 and 1917, a provisional working scheme was drawn up and regulated
working was introduced in 1902. Minimum exploitable girths were fixed for important
marketable species and felling of 1/2 to 1/3 of the stock of exploitable trees was prescribed in an
arbitrary manner in the annual coupes which extended to 5% of the area in Shankar forests and
10% in Sacrebyle forests. The supplementary regulations included the cutting back of
unpromising teak poles, cutting of climbers and planting with nursery raised seedlings in felled
areas and large gaps resulted by the death of big bamboo clumps.
87. A regular working plan was drawn up and brought to effect from 1917-18. According to
this plan the forests were divided into three types based on quality and girth of teak and felling
was prescribed for 20 years. "Selection in groups" was prescribed for A and B types and
improvement fellings for C type. The number of teak and other kinds to be removed annually
was calculated and prescribed. In case of teak in Sacrebylu A type fellings were limited to half
the annual increment and half the existing exploitable stock of trees. While in B type of the
same forest only the exploitable trees leaving out the increment entirely were prescribed for
removal. In all cases removal of all unsound teak trees was also prescribed. In case of species
other than teak only 2/3rd of the exploitable stock of Honne, Mathi, Nandi, Hunal and whole of
the exploitable stock of other marketable kinds was prescribed for felling. Under the
supplementary regulations, cultural operations such as cleaning, thinning and climber cutting
etc., were prescribed besides sowing of Teak, Beete and Honne seeds in the gaps created by
death of big bamboo clumps.
88. The revised working plan was brought into force in 1933 for a period of 10 years. In
order to attain continuity felling cycle was fixed for 20 years. The salient features of the plan
were:
1. In the conversion working circle, of 75 acres of Teak plantations were to be raised annually.
2. In the selection working circle, areas comprising of B type of Shankar and A and B types of
Sacrebyle were taken for regeneration. The working method was prescribed as "selection
groups".
89. In Shankar state forest, only improvement fellings were prescribed in type C.
90. In order to have an annual coup of manageable size Shankar State forest was divided into
5 felling series and Sacrebyle state forest into 3 felling series.
Purdal, Anesara, Devabal Block I and II, Kunchenahalli, Kumsi, Sudur, Kudi, Arasal etc:
91. Before being notified as reserved forests, because of easy accessibility these forests were
subjected to reckless felling for firewood by the adjoining villagers to meet their requirements.
Felling was also carried out to supply firewood to the Iron ore factory at Bhadravathi. The
department in its turn has also contributed to the degradation of forests by removing only sound
31
timber for supply to Aynur Forest Depot, leaving unsound trees as the stock. Most of these
forests after reservation in the different years mentioned below were managed with selection
system or improvement felling or coppice with standards followed by cultural operations like
sowing of seeds of Teak, Beete, Honne, Mathi, Nandi and Sandal.
Purdal:
92. Purdal state forest was constituted during 1893. A working scheme was introduced
during 1902 prescribing coppice with standards and 20 years rotation. Regular working plan was
effected from 1st July 1917.
Anesara:
93. Anesara state forest was notified during 1920. Provisional working scheme with
‘Improvement Felling’ came into force in 1922. Regular working plan was introduced in 1928,
which prescribed coppice with standards for Anesara working circle and ‘Improvement Felling’
for Sirigere working circle.
Kunchenahalli and Devabal Blocks I and II:
94. Kunchenahalli was reserved during 1901 and Devabal in 1909. Provisional scheme
introduced during 1919-20 and a regular working plan in 1922, which prescribed coppice with
standards with 25 years rotation.
Guddenakoppa state forest:
95. This state forest was reserved during 1923.

Kumsi state forest:
96. Recognised during 1865-66 and included in reserved forest. In the absence of regular
system of felling, a great deal of damage was done to this forest. Provisional scheme was
introduced during 1903. Teak sleepers were supplied to Mysore Railways from these forests
during 1914-16. Regular working plan was prepared during 1917 and introduced in 1919, which
prescribed Selection and Improvement Fellings with 20 years rotation.
Sudur:
97. This forest was reserved during 1926.
Kudi:
98. Kudi state forest was constituted during 1920. Provisional working scheme was
introduced in 1922 with selection fellings in groups. Regular working plan was introduced in
1928 with selection system with a rotation period of 20 years.
32
Masarur state forest:
99. This state forest was reserved during 1891 and notified in 1895, even though recognised
during 1865-66. Provisional working scheme was introduced in 1903 and a regular working plan
was introduced during 1918 with prescription of selection fellings with a rotation period of 20
years.
Arasalu state forest:
100. Provisional working scheme was introduced during 1923 and a regular working plan in
1928-29 which prescribed selection and improvement feelings on a rotation of 20 years.
Harohithlu state forest:
101. Reserved during 1913 and a provisional working scheme during the same year, which
prescribed selection system on 20-year rotation. A regular working plan in 1924-25 prescribed
selection method on 20-year rotation.
Section 3
RECENT MANAGEMENT
102. After the expiry of the above plans and schemes, no working plan has been revised or
written for Shimoga division. Forests were worked on ad-hoc basis for extraction for fuel and
timber. The practice of planting Teak in clearfelled areas was continued. The total extent of Teak
plantations in the division is about 2500 hectares. In the Sixties & Seventies, some of the areas
were clear-felled to raise Eucalyptus plantations. With the State Government's policy decision to
ban clear felling and felling of green trees, forestry operations in the division have been
conservation oriented. Removal of dead and fallen timber trees is being carried out in a limited
scale. Details of timber and firewood extracted in the division during the period 1991-1992 to
1999-2000 are given in the Annexure – 9a. Thinning of some of the Teak plantations was
carried out depending upon availability of funds, but it was unsystematic. Because of the existing
ban on felling of naturally grown trees, only Acacia auriculiformis plantations are either clear
felled (in drier areas) or thinned in (moist areas) for fuel wood supplies.
103. During the year 1971-72, 2533.89 hectares of area were leased to KFDC for raising
Eucalyptus plantation for supply to West-coast paper mills, Harihar Polyfibers and Mysore Paper
Mills Ltd., Bhadravathi. Besides, 5384.64 hectares of area were leased to Mysore Paper Mills
Ltd., Bhadravathi for raising captive plantations for Paper pulp.
104. During the eighties, protection of natural forests and Social Forestry had gained
importance. During 1991-2000, 3400.00 hectares of miscellaneous plantations have been raised
in the division. Due to diversion of forest areas for non-forestry purposes, 339.25 hectares of
compensatory plantations have been raised in the division. Apart from this, 118 hectares of
school forestry and 89 hectares of roadside plantations and 180.85 hectares of urban plantations
(City plantations) have also been raised from 1991 to 2000.
33
105. Shimoga division has appreciable extent of bamboo growing forests. It has traditionally
been an important division for supplying bamboo to Mysore Paper Mills as also to artisans who
are locally known as Medars. Green bamboos have been supplied not only to the Medars of the
division but also to other districts like Tumkur, Chitradurga etc. The details of green and dry
bamboos extracted during the period 1990-91 to 1999-2000 are given in Annexure – 9b.
106. Shimoga division was an important division for supply of Sandalwood to Sandal oil
factory and other users such as artisans, temples, etc. The availability of mature Sandalwood tree
is almost negligible. Dead Sandalwood trees and stumps and roots of illicitly removed trees are
extracted departmentally. The availability of even such material has come down drastically.
Sandalwood trees in private lands are also extracted departmentally and bonus is paid to the
owners as per Government order in existence. Details regarding Sandalwood extracted (both
Government and private) and bonus paid to owners are given in Annexure – 9c.
107. With the introduction of the Western Ghats Forestry Project during 1996, most of the
areas having density less than 0.25 are covered under Joint Forest Planning and Management
(JFPM) programme. Village forest committees (VFCs) are formed, micro-plan is prepared in
consultation with the villagers and Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is signed. So far,
thirty-one village forest committees (VFCs) have been formed in the division. These village
forest committees have so far raised plantations over an area of 1006.5 hectares.
108. A Working Scheme for the harvest of Acacia auriculiformis plantations covering an area
of 258.6 ha for the year 1998-99 was approved by the Government of India vide letter No. F(C)
A /11.6/108/WP/KAR dated 20-4-1999. A Working Scheme for the extraction of dead and wind
fallen trees for the years 1998-99 and 1999-2000 covering an area of 1531 ha and 1428 ha was
approved by the Government of India vide letter No. F(C) A /11.6/108/WP/Kar/3011 dated 29-2-
2000.
109. Details of harvest of Acacia auriculiformis plantations are annexured in Annexure – 38a
110. Details of salvaging of dead and fallen trees are annexured in Annexure – 38b
111. The forests of Shimoga division are very close to highly populated towns like Shimoga
and Bhadravathi. The Teak growing areas and the Teak plantations are very prone to smuggling.
A lot of time and energy of the territorial staff is engaged in containing smuggling, which is
sometimes committed by well organised and armed offenders. In the recent years, regular and
traditional management of the forests of the division has been considerably affected by
smuggling activities.
34
CHAPTER V
ESTABLISHMENT AND LABOUR
Section 1
ESTABLISHMENT
112. Shimoga division is an old division established during the year 1920. At present it has
three sub-divisions, six territorial ranges attached with small depots to range headquarters and
one major timber depot and one Sandal koti. The details regarding staff of the division are given
at Annexure – 36. Besides, there are 81 daily wage watchers engaged for various works in the
division. There are 20 vacant posts at the level of forest guards. This is having a direct bearing on
the protection aspects of this division.
Section 2
LABOUR
113. In the past, large numbers of skilled labourers were required for the works like extraction
of big trees for sleeper conversion, trees with clean boles for match wood and ply wood and for
lengthy poles for electric transmission lines etc. Due to the existing ban on green felling and
clearfelling (except for fuel wood plantations), much of the forestry works have been reduced
considerably. These include afforestation on a few hectares of land, extraction of fuel wood and
bamboos for bonafide uses, extraction of very limited quantity of dead and fallen trees, etc. For
limited afforestation works the available local labourers are used. However, most of the local
labourers in Agumbe, Thirthahalli and Mandagadde ranges prefer to work in areca nut gardens as
they get better wages and incentives like food. The limited works are either carried out on tender
or piecework system. For extraction of bamboos, labourers from the neighboring districts are
imported. The Public Works Department (PWD) revises the labour wages and the same are
adopted by the Forest Department. labour wages from 1990 - 91 to 1999-2000 are as indicated
below:
Wages paid to the unskilled heavy and light-mazdoor from 1990-91 to 1999-2000.

Section - 1
STATISTICS OF FOREST STOCKING, GROWTH AND YIELD
114. In order to have a general idea about the composition of the growing stock of the forests
of Shimoga division, the results of inventory of the forests carried out earlier were analysed.
Inventory of 0.25% was carried out at the compartment level on random sampling basis during
the period from 1993-94 to 1999-2000 for the forest blocks of the division.
115. An abstract of the inventory details indicating the compartment-wise Basal Area of the
forests of Shimoga division is given at Annexure – 28. The average Basal Area of some of the
forests of the division are indicated below:
Name of forest. Basal Area.

(Square meters)
(1) Agumbe state forest 25.25
(2) Chokkadabyle state forest 21.70
(3) Kunda state forest 19.50
(4) Shirur state forest 19.70
(5) Kodlu minor forest 34.50
(6) Megaravalli reserved forest 18.00
(7) Devabal state forest 2.00
(8) Kumsi state forest 9.45
(9) Kunchenahalli state forest 1.70
(10) Sudur state forest 9.70
(11) Mrugavadhe state forest 20.00
(12) Shedgar state forest 24.00
(13) Ubbur state forest 19.40
(14) Arsalu state forest 18.50
(15) Barve state forest 15.33
(16) Masarur state forest 23.20
(17) Hadaginamakki state forest 23.50
(18) Heggargudda state forest 33.50
(19) Tunga state forest 13.50
(20) Bedanakalmatti minor forest 8.50
116. As can be seen from the above, the average Basal Areas of the forests are relatively low
and, in general, are indicative of heavy removals in the past. In respect of the evergreen and
semi-evergreen forests like Agumbe, Chokkadabyle, Kunda, Shirur, Hadaginamakki,
Mrugavadhe State forests, the Basal Area is clearly on the lower side. The Basal area in some of
the Linear Tree Increment (LTI) plots in the evergreen forests in Karnataka is as high as 30-65
square meters per hectare (Chippehole - 37.96, Bannadapare - 41.70, Uppangala - 39.70,
Agumbe - 35.30, Devimane -64.87, Katlekan - 43.50, Kodkani - 49.45, Malemane - 49.45). In
respect of most of the moist deciduous forests like Kumsi, Sudur, Arsalu, Barve, Tunga,
Masarur, Ubbur State forests, the Basal Area is also quite low. The Basal area in some of the
Linear Tree Increment (LTI) plots in the moist deciduous forests in Karnataka is as high as 20-48
square meters per hectare (Rawalwada - 42.74, Usoda - 47.77, Shingatageri - 22.67, Karka -
37
34.67, Bailpar - 33.81, Virampalli - 28.37, Aurla - 29.74, Shiroli - 21.64, Phansoli - 27.57,
Jamaga - 23.79, Kulgi - 25.82, Bhagawati 1 - 25.19, Adikehosur - 19.66, Bhagawati 2 - 22.95,
Mainal - 29.49). The information regarding the Basal area in various LTI plots in Karnataka has
been documented in "Long Term Research Sites in Tropical Forests of India" by Dr. S. N. Rai.
117. Regeneration status for different species in respect of some of the major forests of the
division is given in Annexure – 6a. For assessing the regeneration status, an area of 4m x 4m
was marked in the northwest corner of each sample plot and enumeration of seedlings was done.
Seedlings with a height of one metre and above are considered as 1. Seedlings with a height less
than 1 metre and above 50 cms are considered as 0.5.
118. As can be seen from the Regeneration status survey, there is fairly uniform regeneration
of important and representative species in case of Agumbe state forest. In case of the other
evergreen and semi-evergreen forests where regeneration survey was carried out namely,
Mrugavadhe SF, Hadaginkalmakki SF and Kodlu MF, abundance of species like Cordia myxa
(Salle), Macaranga roxburghii (Badchandlu), Tabernaemontana heyneana (Maddarasa), etc
indicates heavy working in the past resulting in creation of gaps. In respect of the deciduous
forests where regeneration survey was carried out namely, Arsalu SF, Kumsi SF and Masaruru
SF, regeneration of Xylia xylocarpa (Jamba) and Anogeissus latifolia (Dindiga) is high indicating
heavy incidences of fire. In respect of fairly moist deciduous forests like Kannangi MF and
Yadavathi MF, abundant regeneration of Tabernaemontana heyneana (Maddarasa) and Cordia
myxa (Salle) is indicative of excessive biotic interference resulting in creation of openings.
119. Stem size-frequency curves (reversed J-curve) in respect of some of the forests of the
division are given in Annexure – 6b.
120. As can be seen from these curves, the distribution of various diameter classes in the
forests is not normal except to some degree in Agumbe state forest. The coefficient of diminution
in most of the forests has shown erratic variation. In a number of forests like Kunda SF, Ubbur
SF, Kannangi MF, Arsalu SF and Mosarur SF, a higher diameter class is represented by a larger
number of trees than the next lower diameter class. This is perhaps on account of illegal felling
of trees/poles of a particular diameter-class. In some of the forests, the number of over mature
trees (90-cm dia) is more than the number of trees in the next lower diameter-class (80-90 cm
dia). This is perhaps on account of removal in the past of sound trees of lesser diameter in

121. Our present knowledge on the rate of growth of different species is very meager. In order
to understand the incremental pattern of different species, girth measurements of all the stems
present in 1ha of a known plantation (1939 Plantation-60 years) at Shettihalli were recorded for
Teak and other species and the results were analysed. Analysis has revealed that the mean
annual increment (MAI) in respect of the species recorded in the plot more or less tallies with
M.R.S. Pearson’s record for Kalinadi High forests. The results are also similar to the growth
pattern recorded by Erappa in his working plan for Kundapur forest division.

123. In general, the rate of increment as per the inventory carried out for the entire crop in Site
quality III is comparatively higher. However, in some of the species it more or less tallies with
the Pearson’s record. Further, the growth increment recorded by Dr.SN.Rai, Silviculturist,
Dharwar also more or less tallies with the Pearson's record. The M.R.S Pearson’s table is
reproduced in metric system for reference.

PART II
FUTURE MANAGEMENT DISCUSSED AND PRESCRIBED
CHAPTER VII
BASIS FOR PRPOSALS
Section 1
GENERAL OBJECTS OF MANAGEMENT
126. In view of the problems of environmental instability and ecological imbalance due to
growing population pressure, the Government of India announced the new National Forest
Policy in 1988. By that time the State Government had taken a major policy decision to impose
ban on felling of green trees in the forest. In a series of judgements in the past few years the
Supreme Court has not only emphasized the scientific management of forests but also redefined
the word forest with much broader meaning and scope. The forests are no longer looked upon as
mere revenue earning resource but are mainly recognized for their role in ensuring the
environmental stability and ecological balance, which are vital for sustenance of all life forms.
Therefore, derivation of any direct economic benefit has to be subordinated to this principal aim.
The main objectives of forest management in the plan are -
1. To maintain environmental stability and ecological balance by adopting measures to

protect, preserve and enrich the existing natural forests with variety of flora and
fauna.
2. To apply a system of management which will ensure maximum degree of protection

to soil and maintain the forest cover in good condition.
3. To maintain or improve natural and man made forest structure and growth in non-
degraded areas to ensure long term sustainability of forest production.
4. To rehabilitate and increase the economic value and utility of the degraded forests.
5. Consistent with the above objectives, to ensure sustainable use of forests to meet the
needs of the people, especially the rural and tribal people, living in the vicinity of
forests.
6. To encourage tree planting in private lands to meet the local demand of forest
produce to a great extent from these areas.
7. To create a massive awareness movement and to ensure people’s participation and

involvement in all round protection and development of forests.
53
Section 2
METHODS OF TREATMENT
127. All evergreen and semi evergreen forests, which require to be preserved for their pristine
flora and fauna, will be preserved without allowing any activity by ensuring rigid protection.
Even dead and fallen materials available will not be extracted. All the dead and fallen timber
and firewood found in the moist deciduous forests and dry deciduous forests are to be salvaged.
By this we will be removing the inflammable material from the forest thereby ensuring
protection to the forest from the severity of fire damages. Bamboos in the forest will be worked
as per silvicultural principles. There are a number of teak plantations that have not been attended
for thinning for a very long period and this needs to be attended to. For this purpose depending
on their age and on the ground realities, thinning proposals will be made keeping the naturally
grown economically important species like Beete, Honne Tare, Hunal etc. intact thereby
ensuring the conversion of monoculture to the mixed culture of the plantation. It is seen that
large numbers of degraded forest patches are available throughout the division and some of them
are in the moist deciduous belt with good rootstock. Rigid protection will be given to these areas
besides planting seedlings of some economically important and indigenous species at the rate of
about 200 to 400 seedlings per hectare. In areas without adequate rootstock, depending on the
condition of the soil, plantations will be raised either for meeting the fuel wood requirement or
for raising Minor Forest Produce yielding species. The areas under encroachment are to be
evicted and planted up departmentally or through the joint forest planning and management
programme. A number of Minor Forest Produces (MFP) have in the past been extracted by using
destructive methods like debarking of Gulmavu, Halmaddi, Dalchini etc. Such Minor Forest
Produces will be given rest for the first five years of the period. Encouragement will be given
for regeneration from the rootstock in areas where MFP yielding species are found in abundance.
A plan will be drawn to link up the revenue from the MFP to the Joint Forest Project
Management areas. To increase the forest cover of the division the waste lands, barren lands of C
and D class, roadsides and urban areas will be planted with suitable species. Smuggling of
sandalwood and other valuable species like Beete and Teak is one of the main problems faced by
this division especially in Ayanur, Arasal, Mandagadde and Thirthahalli ranges. To reduce
smuggling, the existing protective measures will be further strengthened. The division is known
for good sandal regeneration. There are good sandal trees available in Mandagadde, Thirthahalli,
Arasal and Shankar ranges. So to increase the production of the species, pure sandalwood
plantations in the form of Sandal estates are to be grown in Mandagadde, Thirthahalli, Arasal
and Shankar ranges as these are more sandal productive areas. Besides, sandal stumps and dead
sandal trees are to be extracted every year throughout the plan period. Fire is the major problem
in moist deciduous and dry deciduous forest areas. So intensive fire management operations are
to be carried out to tackle the fire effectively in the fire season.
Section 3.
CONSTITUTION OF WORKING CIRCLES
128. Nine working circles have been formed, to achieve the objects in view and to exploit the
forests without endangering their character, and also to improve their present condition. These
working circles are: -

the working circles. An abstract of areas allotted to different working circles is given at
Annexure – 33.
Section 5.
PERIOD OF THE PLAN
130. In the present circumstances it is appropriate to fix the period of plan for 10 years as it is
neither too long nor too short and it can provide a direction to the forest management with the
current policies of Government. Though it is prescribed for the period of ten years (2001-02 to
2010-2011), it is liable for revision after five years if is found necessary.

CHAPTER VIII
BIO - DIVERSITY CONSERVATION WORKING CIRCLE
Section1
GENERAL CONSTITUTION OF THE WORKING CIRCLE
131. Policy resolve of both the Central and State Governments is to protect our ecologically
sensitive and biologically diverse forests. The National Forest Policy, 1988 envisages
preservation of physical and climatic conditions and restoration of ecological balance of our
existing forests. The State Government has banned felling of trees in evergreen and semi-
evergreen forests. Hence, evergreen and semi-evergreen forests of the division, situated in the
crest of the Western Ghats, need to be protected. It is proposed to constitute these areas into the
Bio-diversity conservation working circle. Other reasons for constituting this working circle are:
(1) These forests include areas of unique flora and fauna with rich biological diversity
and genetic resources.
(2) This area is the catchment for many rivers and has steep slopes.
(3) In the past, these forests were worked repeatedly and heavily in accessible areas and
along riverbanks. These areas need complete rest now.
(4) The Ghat forests of Shimoga are relatively free from habitation. These areas are thus
suitable for preserving as conservation area.
(5) The plan deals with part of the fragile Western Ghats ecosystem that is classified as
one of the ‘Mega Bio diversity hot spots’ of the world and, therefore, needs to be
preserved and protected.
132. The areas included in the working circle are known for rich bio-diversity. Many rare flora
and fauna including various medicinal plants are found in this working circle. Most of these
areas have been depleted due to irrigation projects, mining, transmission lines, submersion etc
thus reducing the habitat of the flora and fauna. The cumulative effect is the extinction of some
species of plants and animals. So it is important to protect the existing flora and fauna, some of
which are in the verge of extinction, from further extinction. The average rainfall in this part of
the division is about 7500 mm. These forests exist on ecologically fragile areas and the
topography is steep to precipitous. Census of wildlife found in the forests of the division has not
been done. The rare species present in the evergreen forests include Black Panther, King Cobra
and Lion tailed macaque. Rare kinds of orchids, lichens and Myristica swamps and rare species
like Ebony are found here.
133. In the past attempts were made to raise native species in the grassy blanks of evergreen
and semi-evergreen areas without much success. However, now it is noticed that these species
are thriving well under the older Acacia auriculiformis plantations. The chemical properties of
the soil under the Acacia auriculiformis plantations were tested and compared with those of the
soil in grassy blanks. The soil sample tests reveal the improvement of ph value of soil, mineral
56
contents, organic carbon and potash which in turn improved the general physico-chemical
properties of the soil which might have induced the development of native species under the
older Acacia auriculiformis plantations. The details of the soil tests and its results are appended
in Annexure – 12. In a plot maintained by the Research wing of the Forest Department in Salur
in Thirthahalli range, it has been demonstrated that indigenous plants planted in 1988 and 1991
have thrived well under an Acacia auriculiformis plantation raised on grassy blank in 1983.
Therefore, introduction of indigenous species and rigid protection measures may help the Acacia
auriculiformis plantations existing in this working circle in transforming gradually into natural
forest.
Section 2.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES OF MANAGEMENT.
134. The objects of management are: -
1. To protect these forests to maintain the environmental stability and restore the ecological
balance wherever it has been disturbed.
2. To conserve the biological diversity.
3. To check soil erosion and denudation in the catchment areas of rivers flowing across these
areas.
Section 3.
ALLOTMENT OF AREAS TO THE WORKING CIRCLE
135. Most of the forest areas of Agumbe and Thirthahalli ranges, which are of evergreen and
semi-evergreen types, have been included in this working circle. Details of areas included in the

136. Area proposed under this working circle includes 240 hectares of medicinal plant
conservation area (MPCA) in Agumbe State forest that has been marked and protected under a
program supported by the Foundation For Revitalization Of Local Health Traditions (FRLHT)
because of the presence of varieties of rare medicinal plants in the area. Some of the common
and rare medicinal plants present in the MPCA are as shown in Annexures – 10 and 11.
137. The Government of Karnataka in 25-11-1994 had declared the forest areas comprising of
Hadaginamakki state forest, Ingaladi minor forest, Salagadi minor forest and Patlamane minor
forest as Kuvempu Memorial Bio-Reserve (1292.13 ha) in memory of Shri K. V. Puttappa,
famous poet and Jnanapeetha awardee of Karnataka who hailed from a village called Kuppalli
situated in the vicinity. The purpose of constituting these forest areas as a Bio-Reserve is to
58
conserve the biodiversity of the area and to facilitate research and studies on various aspects of
biodiversity conservation. The forest areas coming under the Bio-Reserve have also been
included in the working circle. The notification of Kuvempu Bio-Reserve is annexured as
Annexure – 39.
Section 4
PRESCRIPTIONS
138. The following prescriptions are recommended:
1. The area is to be given rigid protection from fire, grazing, encroachment and theft.
2. No timber and fire wood extraction is to be allowed.
3. It is proposed that the Acacia auriculiformis plantations coming under this working circle
will be retained as such without felling or thinning. Planting of Cane and dibbling of seeds of
evergreen species may be carried out wherever possible inside these plantations in order to
facilitate these patches to gradually turn into evergreen forests.
4. There is a practice in the neighboring villages to collect the leaf litter of Acacia
auriculiformis plantations for mulching of Arecanut plantations and for using as farmyard
manure. This results in erosion of the top layer and hinders the accumulation of humus
resulting in deterioration of soil. So collection of leaf litter in Acacia auriculiformis
plantations is to be avoided and fire protection measures during the drier period are to be
tightened to improve the soil.
5. As the areas coming under Biodiversity conservation working circle receive very heavy
rainfall (more than 7500 mm), soil conservation works, wherever necessary, have to be
carried out very carefully. It is advisable to adopt vegetative methods such as planting of
Vitex negundo, Pandanus species, etc.
6. Creating massive awareness should form a part of conservation program. Involvement and
participation of people in all round protection and development of forests is desirable. There
should be more emphasis on programs leading to environmental/ecological awareness and
college students may be involved in educating about the bio-diversity.
7. The Forest Department has already taken up works for conservation and development of the
Kuvempu Bio-Reserve. These include demarcation of the boundary of the Bio-Reserve,
formation of fire lines around the Bio-Reserve, planting of indigenous species, constitution of
Village Forest Committee in adjoining Herambhapura village, development of infrastructure
to facilitate research and studies, etc. Research on various aspects of Bio-diversity
conservation may be conducted in collaboration with renowned institutions. The Kuvempu
University, Shankaraghatta, Shimoga has evinced interest in conducting research and studies
in the Kuvempu Bio-Reserve on subjects such as collection of data on important flora and
fauna of the region, formulation of appropriate bio-diversity and conservation strategies,
hydro-biological studies, monitoring of air, water and soil quality, water and sanitation
59
management, etc. These and similar activities should be encouraged and the results and
findings of research and studies should be properly documented.
8. There is a Medicinal Plants Conservation Area known as 'Agumbe MPCA' coming in

Agumbe State forest of this working circle. This MPCA is to be managed as per plan
prepared in consultation with the Foundation For Revitalisation of Local Health Traditions
giving more importance to multiplication of important medicinal plants and their distribution.
The activities prescribed include protection of the MPCA from fire and other biotic
interference, raising of seedlings of medicinal plants, development of Demonstration garden
for raising Redlisted species, conducting of nature camps, community participation
programmes, community interaction activities, etc.
9. The local nativaidyas or traditional healers should be involved in protecting and propagating
the medicinal plants. Wherever possible, the traditional knowledge and wealth of information
available with the nativaidyas about medicinal plants and their usage in treating various
ailments should be ascertained and properly documented.

CHAPTER IX
AFFORESTATION WORKING CIRCLE
Section 1
139. This working circle comprises mainly of very degraded forests. These are areas with or
without rootstock, situated either in hilly terrain or in plains, where the soil depletion is
considerable. Because of poor soil condition, these areas have lost their capacity to sustain good
vegetation capable of regenerating itself. Being directly exposed to the sun and rain, the land-
cover gets further degraded resulting in increased run-off, reduced infiltration and lowering of
ground water table. All the blanks, encroachments, fallow lands, degraded forests are included in
this working circle. It extends to the whole of the division. The total area is calculated after
field visit and also by interpretation of satellite images and by analysing plantation and natural
forest inventory data and by interaction with the regular field staff. Total area to be treated is
19076.24 Ha. Raising of new fuel wood plantations, afforestation of miscellaneous species
including bamboo and sandalwood are proposed in this working circle. Any afforestation
projects and schemes for treatment of area on watershed basis may be done in this area.

Section 3
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES OF MANAGEMENT
141. The specific objectives of the working circle are as follows:
1. To check soil erosion and soil degradation.

2. To enrich the fertility of the soil thereby increasing the productivity of the area.
3. To conserve soil moisture and increase the water table.
4. To clothe the area with vegetal cover.
5. To improve the quality and quantity of root stock regeneration.
6. To facilitate ground water recharge and water harvesting.
Section 4
PRESCRIPTIONS
1. The total extent of blank area in the division is 7131.36 hectares. As per the interpretation of
satellite imagery, the area under encroachment is 2042.41 hectares. As per the figures given
by the DCF, Shimoga the total area under encroachment in the division is 3466.00 ha out of
which approximately 508.00 ha is occupied by permanent structures and the remaining
2958.00 ha is under illegal agricultural crop. The figure of 3466.00 hectares was arrived at
after physically identifying the encroachments in the concerned beats by the beat guards. So
for all practical purposes 3466.00 ha is considered as the total encroachment in the division.
Action may be taken to evict the encroached land and the same may be brought under tree
cover. About 30 hectares of forestland have already been retrieved and planted in the
division. As the encroached areas are close to human habitations, it is prescribed that these
areas after their retrieval should be planted up with fast growing fuel wood and small timber
yielding species. It is advisable to plant these with species like Acacia auriculiformis. In this
way the areas can be covered up easily and within a relatively shorter period of time. The
blank areas in the division without rootstock are 3665.36 hectares (after deducting the area
under Transmission, Rocky areas, areas under mining, submersions and canals that are
219.63 ha). Since these areas are without rootstock action may be taken to plant some of the
areas at the rate of 2500 plants per hectare with high yielding varieties of Eucalyptus or
Acacia auriculiformis to meet the firewood requirement. Acacia auriculiformis may be
planted in areas with good rainfall (above 1000 mm). As a general guidance, high yielding
variety of Acacia auriculiformis is recommended for afforestation of blank areas in high
rainfall zone comprising of Agumbe, Thirthahalli, Arasalu and part of Mandagadde ranges.
High yielding variety of Eucalyptus is recommended for afforestation in dry areas
comprising of Shankar, Ayanur and part of Mandagadde ranges. Suitable site preparation
methods may be adopted giving importance to soil and water conservation preventing soil
erosion.
2. In the areas having rootstock, the stumps should be cut flush to the ground during February
and March, so as to get good and vigorous coppice shoots.
3. Where the number of coppice shoots is more in a single stump, singling out is to be done
retaining the best one.
74
4. Dibbling of seeds of indigenous species including sandal is to be done during the pre
monsoon showers. Care is to be taken to treat the seeds with insecticides before sowing to
prevent rodents eating the seeds.
5. The total extent of degraded forests with rootstock and having density less than 0.25 is
10890.62 ha. Depending on the density of rootstock, well-grown 8" x 12" or 10" x 16" poly
bag seedlings of indigenous species, including fruit, fodder, MFP yielding species, should be
planted at the rate of 200 - 400 seedlings per hectare. On an average, about 190.00 ha per
range per annum during the plan period should be planted to cover up the total area.
6. Cultural operations such as soil working are to be done for naturally grown economically
important seedlings for first three years in the planting area.
7. Wherever sandal mother trees are found, trenches around the mother trees should be dug to
encourage sandal root suckers.
8. In all those areas that are within 5 kms from the villages and where the villagers evince
interest in participatory forest management, village forest committees (VFC) may be
constituted and villagers may be encouraged to protect and manage forest and plantations as
per the guidelines of JFPM.
9. As the areas included in the working circle are degraded, effective water harvesting
structures like check dams, gully plugs, contour bunds, nala bunds, vegetative gully plugs,
boulder bunds, percolation tanks etc. are to be erected in order to conserve soil and moisture.
10. The treated areas are to be closed at least for the first 3 to 5 years form biotic interference.
11. Mining activities in Kumsi range have been stopped. The blank areas including the dumps
should be planted with suitable species. The mine-pits may be converted into water holes by
diverting rainwater into these pits. The wildlife around these areas will be largely benefited
by these water holes.

CHAPTER X
FUEL WOOD PLANTATION WORKING CIRCLE
Section1
143. All the Acacia auriculiformis plantations raised in the division excluding those belonging
to the Mysore Paper Mills limited and the Karnataka Forest Development Corporation and
including the plantations raised under compensatory afforestation are included in this working
circle. The total extent of the plantations is 2879.30 ha.
Section 2
144. The area allotted to this working circle is 2197.00 hectares out of which 1519.70 hectares
are in forestland and 677.30 hectares are in non-forest Government land. Plantations of Acacia
auriculiformis raised in Agumbe range covering 682.30 hectares have not been included in the
Fuel wood plantation-working circle, as these plantations are in the evergreen and semi-
evergreen zone and included in the Bio-diversity conservation-working circle.

Section 3
1) Primary objective is to meet the firewood requirement and small timber needs of the local
community thereby reducing the pressure on natural forests.
77
2) To convert the Acacia auriculiformis plantations into natural forest by planting indigenous
species (Cane, Dhupa, Gulmavu, Bhogi, Nagasampige, Dalchini, Nandi, Mathi, and Beete
etc.,) under the Acacia auriculiformis plantations.
3) To regenerate plantation areas after clearfelling plantations at the end of rotation period.
4) By retaining the good Acacia auriculiformis trees after thinning to get Acacia timber as an
alternative to teak timber which is useful for furniture and small timber.
5) To rehabilitate the degraded areas and to increase the nutritive value and humus status of the
soil.
6) To increase the green cover for maintaining the ecological balance.
7) To check the soil erosion and to enhance the water holding capacity of the soil.
Section 4
PRESCRIPTIONS
1) As per the report published by the Mysore Paper Mills Ltd., Current Annual Increment (CAI)
and Mean Annual Increment (MAI) curves culminate at the age of 8th year for Acacia
auriculiformis in which period it yields maximum yield. So a felling cycle of 8 years has
been recommended for the plantations.
2) It is proposed not to clear fell the Acacia auriculiformis plantations but to follow a systematic
thinning schedule. This will ensure supply of firewood besides production of some quantities
of small timber. The first thinning should be done at the end of the eighth year by retaining
about 800-1000 sound and promising trees per hectare. No tree of local species should be
felled. It is prescribed to plant indigenous species like Dhupa, Gulmavu, Halasu, Hebbalasu,
Canes, Bamboos, Bhogi, Nandi, Mathi, Beete etc., as a under planting under Acacia
auriculiformis so as to convert these plantation into natural forest.
3) Another thinning may be carried out at the end of the 15th year and about 400-500 trees per
hectare should be retained.
4) Final harvest of the plantations may be carried out at the end of 25th year.
5) The area should be replanted after final harvest. The species and density of planting should
be decided on the basis of site condition and natural regeneration present. In some favourable
sites natural regeneration of Acacia auriculiformis is found to come up well. In such cases
mere protection of the area from grazing and fire may be enough. If natural regeneration is
not adequate artificial regeneration of suitable species should be taken up. It has been found
that introduction of Acacia auriculiformis has considerably improved the soil conditions of
the plantations. Therefore, after clear felling of the plantation if the area is found to be
conducive, local species suitable to the site may be introduced by planting. Otherwise,
78
Acacia auriculiformis may be replanted in the area. While preparing site for planting due
importance should be given to soil and water conservation preventing soil erosion.
6) The local species coming up naturally in the area should be encouraged by taking up soil
working, singling, trimming of branches, etc.
7) Plantations should not be finally harvested in a situation where preparations are not done or it
is not possible to regenerate the area in the following year.
Table showing the felling schedule of the Acacia auriculiformis plantations is appended in
Annexure – 13.
147. The total quantity of firewood sold by Karnataka Forest Department and KSFIC during
the last 5 years to meet the requirement of fuel wood of the local people of Shimoga forest
division is as shown below. This firewood is obtained partly from departmental plantations and
partly from the plantations of the MPM limited. As per the lease agreement between Karnataka
Forest Department (KFD) and the Mysore Paper Mills (MPM) limited, the MPM has to give
12.5% of its yield to the KFD as lease rent in addition to 5% of the yield on recovery of current
seigniorage value from the department. The average quantity of firewood expected in the
division i.e. KFD and MPM is 16789 m3 (MPM-11789 m3 + KFD 5000 m3). An average of
15600 m3 of firewood is sold per annum during the last 5 years. As per the RAMIS data the total
population of the division is 66258, according to Josh et.al, per capita consumption of fuelwood
for cooking and bathing is 0.94 Kgs. So total requirement of firewood is 52286 m3 [(66258 x
0.94 Kg x 365 days) / 1000 x 2.3]. There is a deficit of 33497.18 m3 of firewood that is to be met
by raising fuelwood plantations and encouraging use of agriculture waste and fuel saving
devices.

2. Average firewood sold in the division in past five years ( KFD + KSFIC ) = 15,600 m3
3. As per the RAMIS data Firewood demand = 52,286 m3.

i.e. Total population of the division 66258 x 0.94 Kg.

4. Deficit is 35497.18 or say 35500 m3.
148. The existing deficit of firewood will have to be made good by taking up fuel wood
plantations in blank and degraded forest areas as proposed in the Afforestation working circle.

CHAPTER XI
TEAK PLANTATION MANAGEMENT WORKING CIRCLE
Section 1
149. This working circle consists of teak plantations raised in the division. The plantations
coming under the wildlife areas have been excluded. Large extents of teak plantations have been
raised in the past and these have not been thinned systematically. The site quality of teak in this
division is generally III / IV. Since the regular thinning cycle was not adopted in the past, crop
diameter varies from plantation to plantation of the same age. Because of not maintaining
records like plantation journals, name boards, it is very difficult to identify the age of the
plantations. The total area of this working circle is 2542.85 ha.
Section 2
1. To convert the existing growing stock into valuable productive Teak plantations by following
proper thinning schedule.
2. To meet the Teak pole requirement of local and distant stakeholders.
3. To convert pure Teak stands by removing the Eucalyptus trees present.
4. To convert the teak plantations to partly mixed crop by retaining the naturally grown
economically important species like Beete, Honne and Mathi etc.
Section 3
PRESCRIPTIONS
151. Many of the older plantations were not thinned in the past either for lack of funds or for
not having maintained authentic records about the age of plantations. In order to improve the
productivity of the plantations thinning is to be carried out before root competition sets within
the plantations. Usually the thinning cycle will be at the age of 8, 14, 23, 32, 40 and 48 years.
First two thinnings will be mechanical thinning. The first mechanical thinning involves removal
of alternate diagonals and the second involves removal of alternate lines. In the field no
plantation boards are maintained showing the year of plantations. However, a list of teak
plantations is maintained in the division office. While doing the inventory of plantations,
approximate age of the plantation is ascertained by making local inquiry. Because of the lack of
information about the age of plantations and about their past thinning details, it has not been
possible to prescribe which thinning is to be done and when it is to be done. So based on the
average diameter of the trees present per hectare, it is proposed to carry out thinning by using
81
Laurie's formula, which gives the number of trees to be retained per hectare. After completion of
thinning, a permanent board indicating the year of thinning and the type of thinning carried out
should be displayed on the site. Further thinnings are to be carried out based on this record.
152. Laurie's formula is:

S = (d + 3) x 1.5
S is espacement between the trees after thinning in feet and d is diameter of mean
dominant trees in the existing crop in inches.
153. List of Teak plantations is in Annexure – 14 a. Inventory details of the plantations are in
Annexure – 14 b. An abstract of the thinning schedule is in Annexure – 14 c.
Method of executing fellings:
(a) First mechanical thinning.
154. This thinning is mechanical in nature. At the 8th year, stems in the alternate diagonal lines
have to be removed (50% will be removed).
(b) Second mechanical thinning.
155. At 14th year, stems in the alternate lines should be removed. Here also once again 50% of
the stems will be removed.
(c) Third thinning.

(First silvicultural thinning).
156. At the 23rd year, while marking for thinning sound and promising trees at the rate of
395/ha to be retained by marking the rest for felling. The resultant average espacement will be
5.03 m (16 ft). Valuable species such as Mathi, Nandi, Beete Honne and other important species
to be retained for obtaining mixed nature in the final crop.
(d) Fourth thinning.

(Second silvicultural thinning).
157. At the 32nd year second silvicultural thinning is done on the same line as above by
retaining 321 trees/ ha. Sound and long clear-boled trees, which are promising, are retained and
other trees are marked for felling. The selection for felling is from pre-dominants and co-
dominants. The spacement after this felling will be 5.58 m (18 ft).
(e) Fifth thinning.

(Third Silviculture thinning).
158. At 40th year 267 trees/ ha are selected (best ones) and are retained. Rest is removed. The
resultant spacement will be 6.12 m.
82
(f) Sixth thinning.
(Fourth or final silvicultural thinning)
159. It is the ultimate thinning. At 48th year 198 trees / ha, which are sound healthy and
vigorously growing, are selected and retained. The remaining 69 to be removed. The resultant
spacement will be 7.10 m (23ft).
160. In general it is to be remembered that thinnings to be carried out before any competition
between the individual trees sets in and as per the schedule. In case of any financial constraints
for carrying out thinnings, it shall not be deferred for more than 2 years in any case.
161. As soon as thinning is carried out the same shall be entered in the plantation register
along with number of poles removed, year and month of extraction, cost incurred etc.
Section 4
MARKING FOR THINNING
162. The following should be kept in mind while marking trees for thinning:
1. Trained Range Forest Officer should do marking for thinning.
2. Assistant Conservator of Forest will inspect 50% of the trees marked and effect necessary
changes if any.
3. Deputy Conservator of Forests will check 10% and approve the list of thinning.
4. Marking for thinning will be carried out from October – December (when the crown is still
green).
5. In case of poor growth in some plantations due to adverse locality factors, thinning may be
delayed by 2 years and it will not amount to any deviation. However, if there is good growth
in some plantation due to good locality factors it need not be advanced but has to be as per
the schedule.
6. At the time of thinning, boundary of the plantations to the extent of 3 m will be cleared all-
round the plantation to maintain its identity.
7. If the plantation area is highly infested with Eupatorium, clearing of undergrowth is to be

done and it should be allowed only after due inspection by the Deputy Conservator of
Forests.
8. Saws only will be used for felling trees. But ends will be cut with saw to chisel the numbers,
which would fetch better rates.

SUBSIDIARY OPERATIONS
163. Lops and tops to be left in the forest to increase the nutritive value of the soil by humus
formation.
Climber cutting.
164. This operation should be combined with thinning. In addition to climber cutting
Loranthus, a parasite, which is more common is to be removed.
Tending.
165. Clipping of side shoots and epicormic branches should be done wherever required. Weed
growth competing with the main crop should be removed when required.
Closure for grazing.
166. Plantations should be closed for grazing at least for a period of 4 – 5 years.
Fire Protection.
167. Plantations have to be well protected against fires. Control burning in the plantation may
be done and fire lines in the periphery have to be cleared well in advance by the end of January
each year.
168. Fallen leaves as far as possible have to be swept and forest floor has to be kept clean till
the rains set in.
Plantation Boards.
169. Plantation boards (stone slabs or Cement boards) indicating the year of plantation, area of
regeneration, extent, number of Blocks and Compartments, etc should be erected and maintained.

Section 7
CONTROLS
170. The following records should be maintained:
1. Control Books,
2. Record of works and
3. Plantation Journals.
Control Books.
171. Felling prescriptions of the plan, the works carried out and yield obtained will be
recorded, which should be in Form 3 and 4 of Karnataka Forest Code vide
Annexure – 15
Record of Works.
172. This will be a record of all operations carried out in accordance with the Working Plan
prescriptions for the management of the forests, which is in Form 5 of Karnataka Forest Code
vide Annexure – 16.
Plantation Journals.
173. It is a permanent record to reveal the history of a plantation giving description of each
plantation, year of formation, yield from thinning, revenue realised, etc.

CHAPTER XII
IMPROVEMENT WORKING CIRCLE
Section 1
GENERAL CONSTITUTION OF WORKING CIRCLE
174. This working circle includes all those moist and dry deciduous forest areas having
density more than 0.25. These areas have mostly been worked in the past under selection
working system for removal of timber and firewood. The principal species found in these forests
are Tectona grandis, Dalbergia latifolia, Terminalia tomentosa, Terminalia paniculata,
Anogeissus latifolia, Pterocarpus marsupium, Lagerstroemia lanceolata, Madhuca longifolia,
Butea monosperma, Garuga pinnata, Randia dumetorum, Emblica officinalis, Bombax ceiba,
Diospyros montana, Zizyphus xylopyrus, etc. Both big and small bamboos are also found in
varying proportions all over the areas under this working circle.
175. During inventory works carried out in these forests it is found that the growing stock is
not adequate. The status of regeneration is also not satisfactory; the regeneration of many species
is not represented as can be seen from the regeneration graphs vide Annexure – 6a. It is also
seen from the graphs vide Annexure – 6b for different state forests that inverted “J”-Curve is not
properly represented as all the diameter class trees are not represented; either only matured trees
or only pole crops are represented. It is also seen from the Annexure – 28 that the average Basal
Areas of many of these forests are much less. Due to all above reasons it is proposed not to take
up felling of green trees in these forests. However removal of dead and fallen trees followed by
regeneration has been prescribed in this working circle.
Section 2
176. The main objectives for the constitution of the working circle are:
1. To maintain environmental stability through preservation and restoration of ecological

balance.
2. To conserve natural flora and fauna.
3. To check soil erosion and denudation in the catchment areas of rivers flowing across these
forests.
4. To maintain or improve natural forest structure and growth in non-degraded areas to insure
long term sustainability of forest production.
5. To increase the productivity of natural forests and to make degraded forest areas productive.
6. Consistent with the above objectives, to ensure sustainable use of forests to meet the needs of
the people by salvaging the dead and fallen material.
86
7. By avoiding green felling, to improve the regeneration status and representation of all age
gradations of many species so as to get sustained yield from these forests in the future.
Section 3
177. All the dry and moist deciduous forests of this division having density of above 0.25
covering 24759.38 hectares have been included in this working circle. These forests are located
in Ayanur, Rippanpet, Mandagadde, Thirthahalli and Shankar ranges.
Section 4
DIVISION OF AREA AND CYCLE OF SALVAGE LOGGING
178. For the convenience of operation and treatment, the following Improvement working
series are proposed:
1. Mandagadde - Shankar Improvement series,

2. Ayanur - Rippanpet Improvement working series and
3. Thirthahalli Improvement working series.
179. A working cycle of ten years has been proposed. The entire area of the working cycle
will be gone over in a period of ten years. This is considered appropriate as the availability of
dead and fallen material is limited and the areas are prone to smuggling and recurring fires.
180. An abstract of the allotment of areas to the three Improvement working series is given
below:
Name of the working series Area in

hectares
Ayanur – Rippanpet Improvement working series. 8224.10
Mandagadde-Shankar Improvement working series. 6925.00
Thirthahalli Improvement working series. 7674.12
Total area 22823.12
181. Each working series has been divided into ten blocks of comparable size. Each of these
blocks is an annual coupe. The details of area and time schedule are given in the following

RULES FOR MARKING AND EXTRACTION
182. The following should be borne in mind while marking and extracting dead and fallen
trees:
1. Only dead and fallen trees should be marked. The Deputy Conservator of Forests should
inspect the area and he should check marking.
2. Marking should be checked 100% by the Range Forest Officer and at least 50% by the
Assistant Conservator of forests.
92
3. Marking should start from the month of September and extraction should be completed
before March of the subsequent year.
4. The gap between two successive working should be ten years.
5. As far as possible, departmental elephants should be used for dragging.
6. No new roads should be formed and the existing old extraction paths should be used for
carting the material.
Section 6
IMPROVEMENT OPERATIONS
183. The coupe area, after the removal of dead and fallen material, will be taken up for
improvement operations. As the forest area is more degraded, the improvement operations will
also include raising of plantations wherever required. But the total extent of the area to be
treated by gap planting, under planting, tending operations, protection or by their combination in
a coupe should not exceed 20% of the coupe area. For this purpose, areas requiring any
treatment in the coupe should be identified and marked on the coupe map. For carrying out the
improvement operations, the area should be effectively fenced by using barbed wire fencing.
Grazing should not be permitted in such areas for a minimum period of 10 years. All the
advance works should be completed before the onset of monsoon by aligning the area at suitable
espacements depending upon the gaps. In case of patches are covered with weeds, the same may
be cleared and where the gaps are bigger alignment at regular espacement may be done.
Selection of species should be done to suit the local requirement. Suitable local miscellaneous
species like Teak, Rosewood, Mathi, Nandi, Honne, Thare, etc., plus Bamboo may be chosen.
One to two years old tall and healthy seedlings of these species should be used for planting. In
respect of Teak, pre-sprouted poly bagged seedlings raised from Teak stumps should be used.
All the seedlings should be sufficiently hardened in the nursery before they are brought for
planting. All planting works should be completed by the end of June. The seedlings should be
given a good soil working. Soil working to the prominent natural seedlings will boost their
growth. The success of the planting will depend upon the quality of protection provided to the
plantation. Therefore protection measures need to be strengthened. As a matter of fact, if the
area can be effectively protected form fire and grazing successively for 3-5 years, tremendous
improvement will take place in the site. Along with the planted seedlings, substantial natural
regeneration, both of seed and coppice origin, will show up in response to continuous protection
measures. Bamboo regeneration will also come up profusely from hitherto suppressed rhizomes.
It is reiterated that rigid protection of the treatment area from fire is a must. For this fire lines
around the area and criss-cross fire lines within the area may be maintained. All fire tracing
works should be completed by the end of December.

CHAPTER XIII
BAMBOO OVERLAPPING WORKING CIRCLE
Section 1
184. This is an overlapping working circle comprising of the bamboo bearing forests of
Shimoga division. Both big and small bamboos (Bambusa bambos and Dendrocalamus strictus)
occur in the tract. The habitat of bamboo is confined to the deciduous forests. Both the species of
bamboo occur quite often in the same locality. Big bamboo or Dowga bamboo is more
predominant in moister localities, whereas Small bamboo or Medri bamboo finds its place in
drier localities. The present condition of bamboo growth is not very good due to congestion and
faulty extraction. Bamboos have been hacked indiscriminately by various users. Further, due to
congestion, 30-35% of bamboos has dried up posing a serious threat to the resource. Fires have
often occurred in these areas affecting the natural regeneration.
185. Analysed data of bamboo in the division reveals as follows:
Small Bamboo Big bamboo

Average clumps / ha. 2 12
Average culms / clump 29 28
Percentage of green culms 64.45 % 69.35 %
Percentage of dry culms 35.55 % 29.59 %
Percentage of current year 0 1.07
186. Bamboo plays an important role in the socio-economic life of the rural population and in
the cottage industries of the State. As the availability of bamboo is mostly restricted to the
Western Ghats and its transition areas, supplies from these areas are made to other parts of the
State also. Substantial quantities of bamboo from Shimoga division are locally utilised by the
Medar community for making various bamboo-based articles. Bamboo is also supplied to other
districts of the State like Davangere, Tumkur and Bangalore for distribution among the Medars.
Dry bamboo from the forests was being allotted to the State-owned Mysore Paper Mills Limited,
Bhadravathi for manufacture of paper.
187. This is an overlapping working circle comprising of 9263.80 ha falling in Rippanpet,

Mandagadde, Shankar and Ayanur ranges. In these areas, bamboo is found in concentrated
patches and can be commercially harvested though the species is found scattered in other parts of
the division.
188. An analysis of the RAMIS data from all six ranges reveals that 88 families of basket
makers require 1,14,400 bamboos per annum at the rate of 25 bamboos per family per week.
Besides meeting their requirement on top priority, bamboo is also to be supplied for construction
and requirement of distant stakeholders.
94
189. The following table reveals the extraction of bamboos in past 5 years:

Section 2
1) To manage the bamboo forests on sound silvicultural principles to enhance the

productivity thereby improving the growing stock.
2) To ensure sustained supply of bamboo to various users consistent with the principles of
sustained use of forests giving priority to rural population, local artisans and to the
cottage industries.
3) To increase the bamboo area by artificial planting of the bamboos by taking the area from
afforestation working circle.
Section 3
WORKING CYCLE
191. The minimum age at which culm is harvestable and age of full maturity of culm
determine the length of working cycle. The minimum age of harvest is two years and the age of
full maturity of a culm is about 5-6 years. Smaller working cycle may result in over exploitation
of clumps whereas longer working cycles result in over crowding of clumps. In view of the
prevailing biotic conditions, a working cycle of 3 years has been prescribed from technical and
administrative convenience.

Note: Bamboo inventory analysis data is annexured vide Annexure – 17.
195. While delineating the coupes efforts are made to make these as equi- productive as
possible. During the inventory work in the division, it was observed that most of the clumps are
over crowded and a large number of culms are damaged. This has happened partly because
people from the surrounding areas remove bamboos by cutting at a considerable height to avoid
inconvenience due to thorns and partly because of unsystematic and irregular working by the
department. It is proposed to first remove all these damaged, dry and decayed culms from the
clumps. After the removal of these culms if the number of green healthy culms is more than
twelve in the clump, further working will be done with the condition that all the culms up to 2
years in age must be retained. A minimum of 12 culms is to be retained in each clump.
97
196. While executing working of bamboo, strict supervision has to be ensured so that there is
no deviation from the proposed treatment either in respect of working cycle or in respect of the
method of working.
Section 6
BAMBOO WORKING RULES
197. The rules to be followed while working bamboo clumps are as given below:
1. The oldest and deteriorating culms, which cannot last for another working cycle, should be
harvested first. Young and healthy culms are to be retained. This will help in better support
to younger culms and also for better production of culms.
2. Culms should be cut on thinning principles. The retained culms should be distributed
uniformly over the entire clump in such a way that young shoots get enough of support and
the clump is kept open and workable.
3. Immature culms should not be cut. Cutting in the periphery is to be completely avoided, as it
checks the centrifugal development of the clumps which is characteristic of bamboo.
4. Clumps should be cut at a height of 6" to 18" from the ground level, cutting higher than this
should be totally avoided as it makes future working difficult and causes congestion. Cut
should be clear and slanting and just above the node to prevent collection of rainwater.
5. In the un worked clumps, cutting should start from center and proceed outwards in a circular
fashion. During cutting attention should be paid to remove congestion. All the malformed,
dead, diseased or otherwise useless culms should be removed on priority.
6. Wherever the culms are highly congested, cutting should start in a horse shoe fashion leaving
the peripheral growth in tact. Least disturbance is caused on the sides by this method.
7. Culms and clumps in flowers should be cut only after the seeds fall.
8. In hilly areas cutting in clumps should be done from down hillside.
9. In each clump there should not be less than12 culms after cutting and in case the number of
culms in a clump is less than 12, cutting should not be done in such clump.
10. Only bamboos that are more than two years old should be cut.
11. The period of extraction should start after the closer of rainy season (i.e., from 15th October)
to before the on set of coming raining season (i.e., upto end of May).

Section 8
REGENERATION
199. Natural regeneration of bamboo in the area covered under the plan is found to be poor
due to biotic pressure such as heavy grazing and recurring fires. Rigid protection from fire and
grazing will induce suppressed rhizomes to give out shoots. This will also help in establishment
of natural regeneration of seeds available from sporadic flowering or gregarious flowering as and
when these occur.

CHAPTER XIV
MINOR FOREST PRODUCE OVERLAPPING WORKING CIRCLE:
Section 1
200. Forests of Shimoga division produce a variety of products such as leaves, fruits and
flowers that are used locally or traded. These products, which as a group are known as minor
forest produce (MFP), play an important role in the rural economy. MFP also includes varieties
of medicinal plants that are economically valuable. Because of over exploitation and, sometimes
unscientific harvesting, the resource base of minor forest produce in the division has eroded
considerably. For better regeneration, protection and management of these resources, the Minor
forest produce working circle is proposed.
201. This overlapping working circle consists of all the forest areas of Shimoga division. It
also includes the non-forest Government lands falling under the jurisdiction of the division
which are either under the control of Forest Department or where the tree growth belongs to the
Government and the department exercises control over it.
Section 2
202. The specific objectives of management of the working circle are as follows:
1. To ensure sustained use of forests by streamlining the collection of MFP on scientific

basis compatible with sound silvicultural principles.
2. To involve the local people, especially communities living in and around the forest
areas, in the management of resources.
3. To motivate and train the forest dependent communities in protection, improvement,

harvesting and disposal of MFPs including non destructive collection, processing and
marketing of value added products.
4. To meet the local requirement and raw material for cottage industries. And to
encourage cottage industries to generate employment for the local people.
5. To increase the extent of minor forest produce plantations and to increase the yield of
MFPs by encouraging regeneration and supplementing with artificial regeneration by
intensive cultivation.
6. To identify and conserve locally available medicinal plants and raising endangered or
threatened medicinal species on a large scale by involving village forest committees
and research organisations.
100
Section 3
AREA AND ALLOTMENT
203. It covers the entire working plan area of Shimoga division. No special area has been
allotted.
Section 4
CROP AND YIELD
204. At present Minor forest produces are sold through tender-cum-auction sale once in two
years taking range as a unit. Since there is no proper knowledge available for the collection of
the products the contractors use very crude methods for collection of MFP. This results in large-
scale destruction of the resource base. There is no regulation whatsoever by the Department
(KFD) on the intensity of collection of MFP. Since the payment to the workers is made based on
the quantity of the produce collected, the workers (Unskilled / Skilled) have a tendency to extract
maximum quantity within the shortest possible time to earn more without any care for the quality
even by destroying / damaging the mother trees. This situation has pushed many MFP species to
the brink of extinction.
205. The problems faced at present in the field of MFP are twofold:
(i) Lack of knowledge on collection and processing techniques and

(ii) Lack of marketing facility.
206. The important MFPs present in the division are:

Section 5
METHOD OF TREATMENT
210. Minor forest produces are important sources of revenue. More importantly, they play a
very significant role in the rural economy and rural life support system. Therefore systematic
management of MFP is necessary. The present system of collection and disposal of MFP is
through tender-cum-auction sale. With the introduction of JFPM programe, it is desirable that
collection and disposal of MFP should be increasingly channelised through the institution of
village forest committees (VFC). Therefore, wherever there are village forest committees, MFPs
should be collected and disposed of through these committees and each village forest committee
should be considered as a unit.
104
211. For all the remaining forests, the working circle is divided into convenient units for
exploitation. Each range is taken as a unit for the purpose of sale. The produce will be sold
through tender-cum-auction. The period of lease will be for two years (Biannual). The units of
sale are:
1. Shankar unit,
2. Aynur unit,
3. Mandagadde unit,
4. Arsalu unit,
5. Agumbe unit and
6. Thirthahalli unit.
Section 6
PRESCRIPTIONS
(1) As narrated in the foregoing paragraph, currently the methods adopted for collection of
MFP's are traditional and very crude methods, which have a deleterious effect on the very
ecosystem itself. This needs to be revised and strengthened. Presently the MFP's are
being auctioned for the highest bidders through tender-cum-auction on unit basis, once in
two years.
The collection of MFPs should be done in a systematic, scientific and controlled

manner. Therefore there should be proper supervision at the field level to avoid any harm
to the trees. The responsibility to the proper compliance of agreement conditions will be
with the Range Forest Officer concerned. In case of any violation of agreement
conditions, he should report the matter to the Deputy Conservator of Forests for taking
penal action against the society/contractor.
(2) It will be the responsibility of the MFP contractor or the village forest committee to
ensure that during summer season the people engaged in the collection of MFPs do not
set fire to the forests to facilitate collection of any item and that they extend all co-
operation to the local staff to keep the forests free from fire. In the interest of forests and
wild life, the sensitive areas having the problem of smuggling, poaching, fire etc. may be
ordered for closure, if the Deputy Conservator of Forests feels necessary, after obtaining
the prior approval of the Chief Conservator of Forests (Working Plans).
(3) The Deputy Conservator of Forests should ensure that the village forest committee or
contractor concerned submits regular monthly returns of the quantity of MFP collected
and disposed off. This information will give an idea about the correct potential of
particular MFP in the division and will also help in fixing more realistic upset price for
future.
(4) The restricted items like antlers, horns, bones, teeth, skins, etc of wild animals found
during the routine perambulation of the staff should be sent to the concerned Range
105
Forest Officer for safe custody. Range Forest Officer in turn will give regular report in
this regard to Deputy Conservator of Forests.
(5) In case the seeds of any species included in the list of MFPs are required for departmental
purpose, the village forest committee/contractor will have to supply the same to the
Department on priority as per the rates fixed by the Silviculturist.
(6) Punitive measures are to be imposed on those who resort to destructive ways of
harvesting MFPs.
(7) Rest for at least five years is to be given to the trees like Halmaddi, Dalchini, Gulmavu
where much damage is done by debarking for the purpose of collecting bark, resin, etc.
(8) Awareness is to be created among the school children and public about the use and
importance of medicinal plants.
(9) Publish a book giving the sources and availability of medicinal plants, package of
practices for propagation, systematic harvest and processing including the method of
usage for particular ailment etc.
(10) Besides conserving the medicinal plants and their habitats an attempt is to be made to
raise common medicinal plants in their habitat by taking the area from the Afforestation
working circle.

CHAPTER XV
PROTECTION WORKING CIRCLE
Section 1
GENERAL CONSTITUTION OF WORKING CIRCLE
213. This is an overlapping working circle covering the whole division. Protection is one of
the most important activities of the forestry sector. The problems of protection of the forests are
increasing day by day posing real challenge to the Forest Department. The problems associated
with forest protection are manifold. These are:
a) Encroachment of forest land.

b) Illicit cutting and removal of timber, firewood, sandal wood, MFP, etc.
c) Protection of forest from fire and
d) Protection of forest from over grazing.
214. Encroachment is one of the major problems of the division. After the formation of
irrigation channels, the forest areas adjacent to the channels are almost occupied by unauthorised
cultivation. Extension of cultivation is the major cause of large-scale encroachment in the
division. There is no proper demarcation of the forest boundaries in some places. This has also
resulted in encroachment of forest land. Immediate action should be taken to detect and book
these cases as per law. It is also likely that some of these encroachments are on account of forest
lands being granted by Revenue Department to land less people. There are instances where
Revenue records have not been updated after forests were notified and Revenue department
continued to grant from these lands treating these as Revenue lands. It is therefore very important
to ensure that the Revenue records are updated so that no grants are erroneously made by the
Revenue department from out of forest lands.
215. Shimoga division has large extents of teak growing areas. These are fairly close to the
urban centres like Bhadravathi, Shimoga, Aynur and Thirthahalli. Illicit smuggling of timber,
especially of Teak, Rosewood and Sandalwood, is quite common in these areas. Organised gangs
often do smuggling and unless the departmental personnel are well prepared to face them in the
forest, it becomes difficult to apprehend them. There have been instances of departmental staff
being assaulted by gangs of armed smugglers.

216. Occurrence of fire in the dry season is very common in the forest areas of the division. It
is estimated that about one third of the moist deciduous forests, about two-thirds of the dry
deciduous forests and the entire extent of scrub forests are run over by fire every year. Most of
the fires are accidental and some are intentional. Fire burns seeds, kills younger seedlings and
damages saplings, poles and trees. The dead and fallen material also gets burnt due to ground
fire. The humus is invariably burnt. There is loss of bio-diversity of flora and fauna and loss of
soil microbes. Most of the burnt ashes are washed away during the following monsoon,
depriving the soil of its fertility. Recurring fire, year after year, can be devastating and is one of
the chief causes of the general degradation of our forests.
217. The forests of Shimoga division, particularly the deciduous and scrub forests, are
subjected to uncontrolled and unrestricted grazing. This has caused loss of regeneration and
degradation of forests. Overgrazing has rendered most of these forests unproductive.
Section 2
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES OF THE MANAGEMENT
1. To retrieve the encroached forestland from the encroachers.
2. To prevent the smuggling of the important wood like Teak, Beete and Sandal from
smuggling.
3. To minimize the occurrence of fire in the forest.
4. To control grazing incidences in the forests.
Section 3
PRESCRIPTIONS
219. A. Protection from encroachment, smuggling, etc:
(1) As far as the encroachments are concerned, the present policy is to evict all the
encroachments that have taken place after 27.4.1978. Therefore, all these encroachments
have to be evicted as per law after following due procedure. As these encroached areas
are close to human habitations, it is prescribed that these areas after their retrieval should
be planted up during the plan period with fuel wood and small timber yielding species. It
is advisable to plant these with fast growing species like Acacia auriculiformis. In this
way the areas can be covered up easily and within a relatively shorter period of time.
Therefore these areas have been allotted to the Afforestation working circle.
(2) Maintenance of boundaries of the forests is essential for the effective management of the
forests. This is also useful for the field level functionaries to trace and book forest
offences. Many of the forest areas have been demarcated by fixing stone pillars and
cairns. Further, compartments have been laid out by fixing GI plates along the
108
boundaries. These boundaries need to be maintained annually by clearance to a width of
at least 3m, which will also help in checking fire during the dry season.
(3) As soon as an area is notified as Reserved forest under Section 17 of the Karnataka Forest
Act, 1963, the Revenue authorities ought to make entries in the mutation register to that
effect stating that the area is declared as Reserved forest. However, it has been noticed
that on several occasions this has not been done. This has resulted in grant of reserved
forestlands by the Revenue authorities to the local villagers. In order to avoid such
discrepancies, the territorial staff should look into the matter and contact the concerned
Revenue authorities to update the forest details in the revenue registers (Mutation
registers) Directions from the Government in this regard have already been issued, which
need to be pursued vigorously.
(4) It is noticed that Beat and Section boundaries are not delineated on the ground. In the
absence of clear-cut Beat and Section boundaries, the concerned Beat guards and Section
foresters are totally unaware of their exact territorial jurisdiction. This hampers smooth
administration and results in loss of accountability. Controlling of smuggling also
becomes difficult. It is suggested that the issue of delineating proper Beat and Section
boundaries should be immediately attended to by the Deputy Conservator of Forests and
comprehensive proposal should be got approved from the competent authority before
carrying out actual demarcation in the field.
(5) Beat and Section books are supposed to be maintained by the Beat guard and Section
forester respectively for their jurisdictional Beat and Section. At present this is not being
done. Immediate action should be taken to get these books printed and distributed among
the concerned officials with instructions to make necessary entries as and when required.
These books should be provided along with Beat/Section maps, which should be cloth
mounted with laminations to avoid spoilage.
(6) A number of protection camps have been established in the smuggling prone areas of the
division and these are manned day and night. There is need to strengthen these camps by
providing sufficient number of protective staff with better communication facilities, arms
and ammunitions. There are a number of vacancies at the level of foresters and forest
guards, which need to be filled at the earliest. Protection camps are to be established in
sensitive areas in Ayanur, Mandagadde and Thirthahalli ranges.
220. B. Fire protection measures:
(1) It is always better to take preventive measures to check the outbreak of fire rather than
allowing it to break out and then trying to extinguish it. Re-clearing and fire tracing works
along demarcation lines and other fire lines should be completed by the end of December.
Fire sensitive areas should be marked on the range and division maps and special attention
should be paid to such areas. Watchtowers should be constructed at convenient places and
fire patrol parties should be stationed there to take prompt action in the event of occurrence
of any fire in the area. Special care needs to be taken in the regeneration area. Fire tracing
works should be carried out in and around plantations. Proper communication network
should be established to convey the message of fire occurrence to take quick action.
109
(2) Re-clearance and maintenance of forest and compartment boundaries is given in para 274.
However to check the outbreak of the fire, accidental fires and to create awareness among the
villagers and also to check the smuggling it is proposed to engage fire watchers during the
fire season which also acts as a strike force. After a detailed discussion with the Territorial
Deputy Conservator of Forests the following proposals are made. The fire intensity is less in
the evergreen and semi evergreen areas i.e., Agumbe and Thirthahalli ranges. So it is
proposed to engage four and six watchers respectively. Mandagadde range which covers
moist deciduous forests and also smuggle prone area so it is proposed to engage four
watchers in Shedgar and Mrugavadhe sections, six watchers in Kannangi section and ten
watchers in Mangadadde section (Totally 20 watchers for that range) Most of the areas are
handed over to wild life in Shankar range so only four fire watchers have been proposed for
Shankar range. Ayanur is one of the most sensitive, fire and smuggle prone range. So it is
proposed to make three temporary camps of four watchers each in Kumsi SF which is having
valuable teak forest. Similarly three camps of three watchers each in Sudur SF which is also
Teak area. It is also proposed to keep five fire watchers as a strike force in the head quatress
of the range which can be used during the accidental fire incidents and also to prevent the
smuggling activities. Arasalu which also contains semi evergreen and deciduous forests
mainly Teak and Beete. So it is proposed to make three camps of three watchers each in
Masarur SF and two camps of three watchers each in Arasalu SF and three watchers for
Kundur forest. The watchers in above-mentioned camps are not only used purely as a fire
watchers but also to be used as a striking force to prevent the smuggling activities.
(3) Wherever village forest committees (VFC) have been constituted under the JFPM
programme, the concerned VFC should be entrusted with the task of controlling smuggling
and fire in the forest area under its management. There should be provision to pay incentives
to the VFCs for fire control. The payment may be on the basis of the quantum of success in
protecting the area from fire. Incentives may also be paid to VFCs who have protected the
forest areas from smuggling and who provide information about smugglers.
(4) A comprehensive fire management plan should be prepared for the entire division keeping in
view all the above aspects of fire protection.
(5) Awareness programs, publicity, trainings, workshops may be conducted involving non-
Government organisations about the ill effects of fire.
221. C. Protection from grazing:
(1) Protection from grazing is one of the important measures proposed for effective management
of forests. Following are the various measures that are used for regulating grazing in the
forest lands:
Controlled grazing: Number of animals allowed for grazing per unit area is fixed based
on the carrying capacity. The carrying capacity is determined by the productivity of the
area.
Continuous controlled grazing: Here the animals are kept permanently on a given area
and allowed to move freely. Since Cattle shows preferential feeding on certain species
only such species disappear in the long run. This is not preferred.
110
Deferred grazing: This implies postponing or delaying the grazing. The idea is to
provide an opportunity to new plants to establish themselves and to gain sufficient
growth for the older plants. Deferred grazing can be easily applied in the forest of
Shimoga division by dividing compartments under 3 grazing series. Grazing is allowed
in two series and rest is given in the 3rd series during the favourable growth.
Rotational grazing: Here the grazing cattle are distributed in such a way that animals
make a more uniform usage of forage. In this case the compartments are classified into 10
grazing blocks excluding the compartments situated in the vicinity of the villages. Cattle
are allowed to graze in sequence from block 1 to block 10, which are evenly distributed
so as to meet the fodder requirement of cattle of different villages. Further the
compartments, which are included under Improvement working circle, are totally
prohibited from grazing for a period of 5 years from the year of extraction. However they
may be allowed to graze in the in the remaining plan period.
Deferred rotational grazing: This is a combination of both the practices of Deferred

grazing and Rotational grazing. In this case grazing in one part of the forest is deferred in
some season of the year during which time the other part of the forest is grazed.
The most ideal method that could be adopted in this case is the Deferred rotational
grazing by slight modification where the period of deferment may be for some years
instead of a few months.
Though control of grazing is extremely difficult in the present day context, still
concerted efforts need to be made by the department to enrich the forest, which are totally
devoid of under storey. This is possible only by prohibiting grazing in forest lands for a
particular period. The following measures are suggested:
(a) All compartments adjacent to (within 2kms) villages be allowed grazing unless
otherwise prohibited, while notifying the forests.
(b) All compartments, where regeneration is proposed either artificially or naturally

are to be prohibited from grazing irrespective of their locations.
Wherever there is a need, such block or compartment has to be closed by erecting
3 line-wire fencing.

CHAPTER XVI
SANDALWOOD OVERLAPPING WORKING CIRCLE
Section 1
222. This overlapping working circle comprises both forest and non-forest areas in the
division and also includes all the tree growth in other lands over which the Forest Department
exercises control. Shimoga division was once known for abundance of sandalwood trees. Its dry
deciduous forests are ideal habitat for the species. However, the occurrence of sandal in various
areas of the division has come down sharply over the period of time. All the mature trees have
been extracted in the past and the remaining mature ones are lost on account of smuggling,
which is quite rampant in the division. The efforts made by the department to control smuggling
have had partial success. There are now no concentrated patches of sandal trees in the division
but are scattered very widely. It is found in Thirthahalli, Mandagadde, parts of Arasal and
Shankar ranges. Finding full-grown matured sandal trees is very difficult because of rampant
smuggling. However due to the presence of some mother trees good regeneration is found in
Thirthahalli, Mandagadde, parts of Arasal and Shankar ranges. These need protection from fire,
browsing and lopping.
223. Because of their scattered distribution, the trees are exposed to illicit cutting and removal.
The number of sandal offences booked and value of material seized during the period 1990-91 to
1999-2000 are as follows:
Sandalwood offences booked and value realised.

224. During the preparation of this plan no attempt was made to enumerate the sandal trees
occurring in the various categories of Government and non-government land as was done in the
past under the intensive sandal enumeration scheme, where village was taken as the unit. This
was not only because of paucity of time but also because of the fact that occurrence of sandal has
come down sharply over the period of time due to several reasons. Whatever trees could be seen
during the field inventory were found to be young.
Section 2
1. To improve the growing stock of sandal in the forest areas by carrying out tending
and other cultural operations.
2. Providing strict protection to sandal bearing forest areas from fire, grazing, theft etc.
3. Restocking by supplementing the natural regeneration with artificial regeneration.
4. To encourage the farmers and other private individuals to grow sandalwood in private
lands by providing quality seeds and technical support.
Section 3
PRESENT STATUS
226. The occurrence of sandalwood, once abundant in these areas, has come down sharply
mainly because of increased smuggling activities. Other factors that contributed to its depletion
are uncontrolled browsing, repeated fires, lopping for fodder, diseases and pests etc. Whatever
regeneration is found at some places it is due to a few young mother trees in the area. It is
difficult to find any tree more than 20 cm in girth anywhere in the forests due to rampant
smuggling. Even younger trees are not spared. Therefore, there is no possibility of getting any
mature tree for extraction. Only dead trees, stumps and roots of illicitly felled trees are permitted
for extraction.
Section 4
WORKING CYCLE
227. Working cycle of one year is being adopted keeping in mind the poor availability of
sandalwood. Going over each area every year will reduce the probability of theft of all such
material. Annual working area in the particular working series is taken as Range. While working
113
in the annual area, all types of lands are to be covered for removal of dead trees and left over
stumps and roots of the illicitly felled trees.
Section 5
WORKING SERIES
228. Each range has been taken as a working series to be covered every year so that available
material may be removed promptly as and when it is found. The details of the working series are
given in the following table:
Name of the Years in which

Sl no Annual working area
series to be taken up
1 Shankar WS All the areas falling under the jurisdiction of Each year
Shankar range.
2 Aynur WS All the areas falling under the jurisdiction of Each year
Aynur range.
3 Mandagadde WS All the areas falling under the jurisdiction of Each year
Mandagadde range.
4 Rippanpet WS All the areas falling under the jurisdiction of Each year
Rippanpet range.
5 Thirthahalli WS All the areas falling under the jurisdiction of Each year
Thirthahalli range.
6 Agumbe WS All the areas falling under the jurisdiction of Each year
Agumbe range.
Section 6
EXTRACTION AND TRANSPORTATION
229. No yield has been prescribed for extraction. All available material in the specified
categories may be collected.
230. Regulation of working will be entirely by area. One annual working area will be worked
every year irrespective of yield.
231. Following rules will be complied for marking extraction and conversion:
1. Marking, extraction and conversion will be executed departmentally as per the codal
provisions and other orders issued from time to time.
2. Range Forest Officer should attend to marking and the Assistant Conservator of
Forests should inspect at least 50% of the marking. Marking and inspection work
should be completed by the end of May. Extraction of sandalwood should be
completed by the end of October when the soil is loose and there is no difficulty in
uprooting the stumps or roots.
3. Separate register for each working series should be maintained.
232. After uprooting of the dead trees/stumps etc. a peg should be fixed at or near the place of
uprootal. Range Forest Officer should submit monthly report of the progress of work. The work
should be inspected frequently by the Deputy Conservator of Forests/Assistant Conservator of
114
Forests to ensure proper extraction. No part of tree/stump/roots etc. should be left in the ground.
Saw should be used for pruning the branches.
233. When any part is sawn off from the tree/stump, the number of tree/stump and the number
of the pieces should be noted on it. If the piece is long it may be converted into billets of one
metre or multiple of it. All the material so prepared should be transported to Range Forest Office
with proper permit and under escort. When sufficient material gets collected at the Range Forest
Office it should be further transported to Sandalwood depot with proper permit and under escort
after obtaining the permission of the Deputy Conservator of Forests. The account of all the
material received at Range Forest Office and thereafter transported to Sandalwood depot should
be submitted regularly by the Range Forest Officer to the Deputy Conservator of Forests.
234. Transportation of sandalwood should be done only during the daytime duly ensuring that
the consignment reaches the depot well in time before its closure. The officer in-charge of the
depot should weigh and acknowledge the receipt of Sandalwood promptly after due verification.
235. These are the general rules to be followed for marking, extraction and transportation of
sandalwood from any type of land. But in case of private land, while extracting the material, a
mahazar should be drawn in the presence of the owner and, in the depot, the material should be
kept separately. After proper verification of the records/ownership etc., further action regarding
the payment of bonus should be taken as per the existing Government orders.
Section 7
PROTECTION
236. By and large, sandal regeneration is unsatisfactory in the forest areas. Situation is worse
in non-forest Government lands where it used to flourish luxuriantly. In the private lands also, its
stock is depleted. The depletion of sandalwood is primarily on account of rampant smuggling.
Therefore, the first step to restock all these areas with Sandalwood is to ensure effective
protection to the species from smugglers. This can be achieved only by enlisting strong public
support and by enforcing various rules and regulations strictly. Criminal cases against the
smugglers should be persued vigorously in the Courts so that these result in conviction.
Section 8
TENDING
237. Natural regeneration sandalwood can now be seen only at places where there are some
young mother trees. Many of these young seedlings are found suppressed because of overhead
shade or due to the presence of weeds and climbers. Therefore it is proposed to carryout the
following tending operations, taking one Section every year in each range:
1. Making sandal seedlings free from climbers.

2. Judicious pruning of overhead trees causing shade to ensure proper light to sandal
seedlings.
3. Removing the obnoxious weeds hindering the growth of seedlings.
115
238. In this way tending operation should be attended between November to March in all the
Sections in the successive years.
Section 9
GROWING CONDITIONS AND REGENERATION
239. Sandalwood tree is a semi root parasite. It can parasitize over 300 species from grass to
another sandal plant. Under gregarious growing conditions, self-parasitism is common.
Sandalwood establishes haustorial connections with the host plants and depends on them for its
requirement of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. It can obtain other nutrients on its own.
Seedlings are found to survive without a host for 3 years but thereafter they tend to die. In a
natural population 2 percent of seedlings do not produce haustoria, and they fail to survive on
their own beyond three years of age.
240. Sandal is primarily a tree of dry deciduous forests. It is prone to fire damage. It generally
avoids hill slopes and grassy blanks that are prone to annual fires; however, when these areas are
protected from fire, sandalwood appears again. Similarly, under moist deciduous conditions
when a site becomes more mesic, sandalwood recedes to drier portions. Its main associates in the
top canopy are Terminalia tomentosa, Terminalia chebula, Anogiessus latifolia, Sapindus
trifoliatus, Diospyros melanoxylon, Albizzia lebbek, Albizzia odoratissima, Albizzia amara,
Chloroxylon swietenia, Feronia elephantum, Limonia acidissima, Zizyphus xylopyrus, Grewia
tilaefolia, Bridelia retusa, Ixora parviflora, Pterocarpus marsupium, Dendrocalamus strictus,
Bauhinia racemosa, Acacia sundra and others. The undergrowth consists of Carrissa carandus,
Dodonea viscosa, Randia dumetorum, Cassia fistula, Cassia auriculata, Lantana camara,
Zizyphus oenoplea, Flacouria montana and others.
241. Sandalwood regenerates naturally under the protection of thorny bushes, along streams
(some seeds that float in water germinate faster), and under trees where birds generally roost.
Dispersal of seeds and spread of the species effectively takes place through birds, provided the
area is free from recurrent fire and browsing animals.
242. Initially, seedlings need shade for survival, and in the sapling stage they need diffused
light for proper growth. However, once the trees are nearly 4 meters high, they can grow under
full overhead light. Plants growing under full exposure have yellowish leaves while those under
lateral shade have dark green leaves.
243. Growth rate of sandal in natural forests in favorable soil and moisture conditions is
around 5 cm per year at GBH. Heart wood formation starts at 10 – 13 years. The details of the
study on growth of sandal wood in natural forests as conducted by Dr. S.N. Rai (1990) are given
in the following table:
Age (years) GBH (cm) Heart wood (Kg) Separate wood (Kg)
10 10 1 5
20 22 4 25
30 33 10 60
40 44 20 100
50 55 30 135
116
Plantation techniques.
244. Sandal is successfully regenerated by the following techniques:

i) Dibbling of seeds under bushes and thickets.
ii) Dibbling of seeds in pits or on mounds.
iii) Planting of container raised seedlings
i) Dibbling under bushes and thickets.
245. This technique is to be adopted in open scrub jungles with lots of bushes. Areas
containing fairly good soil with bushy undergrowth will promote the development of sandal,
which is gregarious in habit. It is therefore desirable to form large groups of sandal patches
uniformly distributed all over the sandal bearing areas. Cattle readily browse sandal. It is
therefore necessary to dibble the seeds under bushes and thorny thickets. The seeds are sown
during monsoon. An instrument can be made by using a bamboo pole of 4 to 6 cm internal
diameter and 1.5 m long to sow the seeds. The septa at the nodes are removed and one end of the
pole is sharpened, or a hollow metal piece is attached to rake the soil. The pole is introduced at
the base of the bush and through the hole four to five seeds are transferred to the base of the
bush. Fairly good success has been achieved by this method.
ii) Dibbling of seeds in pits or mounds.
246. The usual trench mound technique adopted for afforestation for other species of trees has
also been adopted for sandal, but here a perennial host plant is also grown along with sandal
either on the mound or by the side of the pit. Large numbers of pits are formed while uprooting
sandal trees and while raising new plantations. Sowings should be done in these pits after 1st
shower. The seeds should be covered with earth. Seeds of host plants preferably Neem, Cassia
siamea, Cajanus cajan should be sown on periphery of pits.
iii) Planting container-raised seedlings.
247. The area required for this purpose is completely clear felled. Pits of 50 cm3 are dug out at
a spacing of 3 m. Healthy sandal seedlings, preferably above 30 cm in height, are planted in the
pits. The usual trench mound technique adopted for afforestation for other species of trees has
also been adopted for sandal. Growth of sandal is found to be much better if, at the time of
planting in the field, a perennial host can be planted adjacent to the sandal seedling. Some of the
good hosts are Casuarina equisitifolia, Acacia nilotica, Pongamia pinnata, Melia dubia,
Wrightia tinctoria and Cassia siamea. Miscellaneous secondary host plants are planted in the
alternate row. This method has proved successful in many areas.
After care.
248. Working the soil to a radius of 50 cm once in 6 months is recommended. The host plant
tends to overgrow sandalwood and may be pruned so that sandal gets maximum sunlight.
Adequate protection against fire and grazing is necessary.
117
Regeneration from seed.
249. Seeds from known superior populations are desirable. Sandalwood flowers and fruits
twice a year, i.e. in September/October and in March/April. The seeds of both the seasons
perform alike. Sandal fruits are collected fresh from the tree, soaked in water, and rubbed to
remove the soft pulp. The wet seeds are dried under shade, then the dry seeds are stored in
polythene bags or gunny bags. About 6000 seeds weigh 1 kilogram.
250. Fresh seeds usually have a dormancy period of 2 months. The seed takes 4 to 12 weeks to
germinate after the dormancy period. Eighty percent of the seeds are viable upto 9 months. The
germination rate is about 80 percent under laboratory conditions and 60 percent under field
conditions. Germination can be hastened by cracking the hard seed coat. Soaking seeds in 0.05
percent gybralic acid overnight before sowing, ensures uniform germination.
Nursery Techniques.
251. Seedbeds, either sunken or raised, are formed with only sand and red earth in the ratio 3:1
thoroughly, mixed with nematicides (Ekalux or Thimet at 500 g per bed of 10 m by 1 m). . Plus
trees will be marked and the seeds collected for sowing elsewhere or to supply in the division
The seeds are soaked in 0.02 percent Agallol (organo mercuric compound) solution for half an
hour to remove surface contamination. Then the seeds are spread uniformly over the bed. About
1 cm of sand is spread over the seeds. Around 2.5 Kgs of seeds are used for one bed. The bed is
covered with straw, which should be removed when the leaves start appearing on the seedlings.
252. The seed beds are sprayed with (1) the fungicide Dithanc Z-78 (0.25 percent) once in 15
days to avoid fungus attack, and (2) 0.02 percent Ekalux solution once in a month to avoid
nematode damage. Sandal seedlings suffer from a virulent disease caused by a combined fungal
and nematode infection. The initial symptom is wilting of leaves followed by sudden chlorosis
and root decay. On account of this disease the mortality rate is very high, but this can be
controlled by the application of nematicide and fungicide (Ekalux and Dithane) as mentioned
above.
253. When the seedlings have 5 to 6 leaves, they are transplanted to polyethylene bags along
with the seedling of the primary host Cajanus cajan. The seedlings are carefully removed from
the bed with all the roots intact and then carried in a container with fungicide solution (Agallol
0.1 percent). Roots should not be allowed to dry.
254. Shade can be provided for a week immediately after transplanting. Watering should be
done daily, but excess moisture is to be avoided. Host plants are pruned frequently so that they
do not overgrow the sandal and hamper its growth. Polythene bags should contain a mixture of
sand, red earth and farm yard manure in the ratio 2: 1:1. Polythene bags of dimensions 30 cm by
14 cm are the best. To avoid nematode damage, Ekalux at the rate of 2 gm/poly bag or 200 g for
1 m3 of poly bag mixture should be thoroughly mixed before filling the bags.
255. A plantable seedling of about 30 cm height can be raised in 6 - 8 months. A well-

branched seedling with brown stem is ideal.
118
256. While carrying out the tending operation in a Section, suitable area to the extent of 20 –
40 ha having the potential of supporting the species should be identified. Preference should be
given to the areas already rich in natural regeneration. The area should be fenced either by
barbed wire or Solar/Electric fencing by the end of May. With the onset of monsoon dibbling of
sandal seeds should be done in and around the natural bushes along with one or two seeds of host
plants by slightly disturbing the soil. On an average, the spacing between the two places of
dibbling should be 4m x 4m. To identify the spot, pegs should be fixed near the place of
dibbling. The work of dibbling of seeds should be completed by the end of June. By the end of
July or early August the area should again be gone over to check the causalities and resowing
should be done wherever earlier dibbled seeds have not germinated. In case natural bushes are
not evenly found, pits of 45cm x 45cm x 45cm may be got dug at an espacement of 4m x 4m and
after refilling the earth, one year old tall, healthy polythene bagged seedlings of sandal raised
with host plants should be planted with the onset of monsoon. Casualty replacement, if any,
should be completed by the end of July. The regeneration area should be marked on the Beat
map and toposheet. During the next time, when this Section is taken up for regeneration, this
plantation itself may be extended by including adjoining area instead of taking up planting at a
new place. Intensive management at a concentrated place will gradually lead to management of
Sandalwood plantations as an Estate. Effective protection to the seed bearing mother trees in the
area will further help in dispersal of seeds by birds etc. and encourage natural regeneration in and
around the area. Artificial regeneration by planting is recommended as supplementary to
regeneration by dibbling of seeds, as the latter is found to be economical and more effective.
257. Regeneration through dibbling should be done in the areas of Improvement working
circle along with the other improvement operations. The seeds should be obtained from known
superior populations or identified Plus trees. The dibbling of treated seeds may be completed by
15th of June and thereafter by the end of July the areas should be revisited and in case of any
failure dibbling may be done once again and completed by the first week of August.
Section 10
ALLOTMENT OF AREA
258. The Sandalwood working circle is an overlapping working circle. So far as extraction of
sandalwood is concerned, the whole of the Shimoga division is included in the working circle.
As regards regeneration of the species, it is proposed to raise 100 hectares of Sandalwood estates
in each of the ranges of Thirthahalli, Mangdagade, Arasal and Shankar during the plan period. A
good sandal bearing area is to be identified and is to be completely cleared of unwanted growth
retaining the existing sandal trees, saplings and their host plants. The area selected for this
purpose should be at least 60 hectares in extent, although a continuous patch of 100 hectares will
be more desirable. As sandal seedlings are heavily browsed, the area selected is to be protected
effectively by cattle proof trench or by barbed wire fencing or by a combination of both. Every
year only 20 hectares are to be tackled in each of the four ranges for planting. Planting can be by
any of the methods already described above according to the suitability of the sites selected.
However, planting of container raised seedlings by the pit-planting method or by trench-mound
(manual or mechanical) method is advisable.
119
259. The following table shows year wise phasing in each range ( 100 ha ):

Note: Dibbling of treated seeds is to be continued upto 3 years after the planting.
260. Heartwood formation starts from 10-12 years. During this period, threat to the trees from
smuggler increases. So it is proposed to erect chain-link mesh around the area (i.e.100ha) in each
range.
Harvesting of the plantation:
261. By giving allowance for failure and smuggling it is assumed that 40% will remain at the
age of 30 years i.e., 1,000 plants per hectare will remain at end of 30 years. By taking 10 Kgs as
the yield from each tree, the total expected heartwood would be 200 tonnes for each block of 20
hectares. Assuming the present market price of Sandalwood at Rs 5,00,000 per tonne of
heartwood, the anticipated revenue and yield on harvest would be as follows:
Year Yield for 20 ha. Yield from all the ranges Rev / market
20 x 4 Rate in Rs.
2033 200 x 4 = 800 tonnes x Rs. 5,00,000 Rs. 40,00,00,000
2034 200 x 4 = 800 tonnes x Rs. 5,00,000 Rs. 40,00,00,000
2035 200 x 4 = 800 tonnes x Rs. 5,00,000 Rs. 40,00,00,000
2036 200 x 4 = 800 tonnes x Rs. 5,00,000 Rs. 40,00,00,000
2037 200 x 4 = 800 tonnes x Rs. 5,00,000 Rs. 40,00,00,000
Section 11
SANDAL IN PRIVATE LANDS
262. In addition to growing in forest areas, there is immediate need to encourage regeneration
of Sandalwood in private lands. The incentive in the form of payment of bonus is already there
but because of the increase in smuggling of sandalwood, people have lost interest in growing this
tree in their land. Immediate action is to be taken by the forest and police authorities with the
public support to control smuggling. Farmers and other private persons may be provided good
quality seeds and technical know-how to encourage them to grow the species in their farmland
and around their houses. Under the JFPM programme, VFCs may also be persuaded to grow
sandalwood trees in the degraded Government land and in other areas. Incentives may be given
to the staff who can successfully carry out these extension activities in their jurisdiction.
120
Section 12
OTHER REGULATIONS
263. The following regulations are prescribed:
1. Any plant or tree, which serves or may serve as a host to sandal, should not be destroyed.
If necessary, such trees may be pollarded.
2. In case of sandalwood sapling whose crown is within easy reach of goats, it is advisable
not to destroy any bushy or thorny shrub, which shields it on either side, but to pollard
the branches that overtop the sandal.
3. Climbers on sandalwood trees are to be cut back at two places.
4. When sandalwood grows into a tree, it requires complete exposure to the sun and as such
over topping trees should be pollarded.
5. All plantations raised under this working circle should be closed to grazing for 5 years.
6. Under the joint forest planning and management programme, village forest committees
should be involved in protection and conservation of sandal bearing areas wherever
possible.
7. Focus should be given to management of private sandalwood farms. Private farmers
should be encouraged to plant sandalwood in their own lands.
Section 13
CONTROL RECORDS
264. The following control records should be maintained:
1. Record of yield: Total yield of sandal from forest and other Government lands.
2. Record of yield: As per the work actually carried out.
3. Control of works: Works prescribed in the Working series and the works actually
carried out.
121
CHAPTER XVII
MISCELLANEOUS REGULATIONS
Section 1
JOINT FOREST PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT (JFPM)
INTRODUCTION
265. The National Forest Policy, 1988 gives priority to protection of the natural forests for
environmental stability and ecological balance and for meeting the biomass needs of the local
community. It also lays emphasis on creation of a massive people's movement and on ensuring
their participation and involvement in the all round protection and development of forests. The
approach of joint forest management was recommended by the Government of India in June
1990 and the Government of Karnataka issued its JFPM notification in 1993, giving guidelines
for the constitution of village forest committees (VFC’s), and formulation of management plans
in consultation with the community. JFPM was restricted to forest areas having less than 0.25
crown density and net incremental benefits were to be shared equally between the community
and the State.
OBJECTIVES
266. The objectives of JFPM are as follows:
1. To ensure people's participation in village level planning to address the issues

pertaining to the forestry related problems faced by them and the Karnataka
Forest Department.
2. To ensure forest protection and management.
3. To analyze the causes of degradation of forests and evolve appropriate measures
to halt such degradation and to take appropriate steps to improve the ecology and
environment of the JFPM areas.
4. To ensure that the communities utilise the forest resources sustainable.
STAKEHOLDERS
267. The stakeholders are:

* Local communities and department.
* Small scale industries and artisans.
* Local health practitioners.
* Woman folks.
122
AREAS
COVERED UNDER JFPM.
268. The areas covered under the JFPM include the following:
(1) Degraded forest areas having density less than 0.25 are to be included in the JFPM
working circle.
(2) Government wastelands like C and D class lands, Gomals, village lands and Tank
foreshore areas etc, where plantations have been raised under specific Social forestry
schemes are also to be included in the working circle.
(3) All the areas covered under the management of VFCs formed in the division since the
inception of JFPM. So far 31 Village forest committees are formed in this division
covering an area of 8955.00 ha.
269. All the forest areas coming under the Afforestation working circle i.e. areas which are
either blanks or with crown density less than 0.25, are eligible to be treated under the JFPM
overlapping working circle provided the people come forward for JFPM programme.
ACTIVITIES
270. The activities of JFPM are as follows:
1. To Form village forest committee as per the guidelines.

2. To register the VFC under Karnataka Forest Act, 1963.
3. To conduct PRA exercise to assess the problems and the local resources.
4. To plan for development by involving local community.
5. To prepare Memorandum of Understanding.
6. To enter into agreement with the VFC.
7. To provide seed money to the VFC.
8. To implement the JFPM.
271. As per the policy decision of the Government of Karnataka, VFC’s are formed for forests
having less than 0.25 canopy cover for the purpose of improving forests and at the same time
meeting the day to day needs of the local community. In turn the Government Order ensures
sharing of revenue between the VFC and the Karnataka Forest Department on 50:50 basis. The
GO also provides for the formation of VFC’s for plantation raised under specific schemes.
PRESCRIPTIONS
272. The following are the prescriptions of the JFPM:
a. The prescriptions of Micro plans of the VFC for a particular portion of a forest
should be considered as prescriptions made in the working plan only.
b. The jurisdictional staff shall follow the procedure laid down and prepare site-
specific plans before implementing the project. Government orders and further
amendments shall be scrupulously followed.
123
c. Every month the Section forester should conduct a monthly meeting of the VFC
under the Chairman ship of VFC president. RFO should attend such meeting at
least once in three months.
d. All MFPs from the areas covered under JFPM shall be sold or harvested by the
concerned VFC only, as decided by the management committee.
e. Continuous efforts should be made to create and sustain the JFPM movement by
creating required awareness among the people and the staff through training
programmes.
Section 2
MAINTENANCE OF FOREST BOUNDARIES
273. Proper maintenance of boundaries of the forests is essential for the effective management
of the forests. This is also useful for the lower level functionaries to trace and book the offences
committed in their jurisdiction. Till December 2000, an extent of 64501.40 hectares out of a total
forest area of 67551.44 hectares have been surveyed and demarcated by the Working Plans
division, Shimoga by using stone pillars / cairns. Further, compartments have been laid by fixing
GI plates along the boundaries. These boundaries need to be maintained annually by clearance to
a width of at least 3 meters. This will not only help in checking fire hazards and illegal
encroachments but also will help in proper management of forests. Balance area to be surveyed
and demarcated is 3050.04 ha, which is to be surveyed by the Working Plan division, Shimoga,
during 2002-2003.
274. The total length of the state forests, minor forests, reserve forests of Shimoga territorial
forest division is 2839.39 kms. Out of this the common boundaries are about 145 kms. So the
net forest boundary lines that are to be maintained annually works out to be 2694.39 kms. or say
2690 kms. It may be noted cutting and re-clearing of the forest boundary every year requires
only in evergreen, semi evergreen and part of moist deciduous forests. This forms 30% of the
division. Which is 807 kms or say 800 kms. Here re-clearing to the width of 10 mtrs. and then
heaping and burning is to be done all along the line. Shimoga circle SSR Item No. 111 is Rs.
774.65 / kms. So this rates keeps on revising every year and depending on the revised rate the
fund may be calculated every year. The remaining maintenance of the ‘D’ line of the division,
which are approximately 1,890 kms. long falls in the drier part of the division. Due to presence
of natural features like roads, rivers, hallas and power and telephone lines which co-insides with
our forest boundaries, about 50% of the ‘D’ lines will not require maintenance remaining 50% of
the ‘D’ line which falls in the drier part of the division requires maintenance i.e., for 1,890 / 2 =
945 k. m or say 940 kms. Here re-clearing to the width of 10 kms and then heaping and burning
is to be done all along the line. Shimoga circle SSR Item No. 112 is Rs. 771.60 / kms. So this
rates keeps on getting revised every year the financial allocations have to be made accordingly.
275. The total length of the compartment boundaries of the division is 1,000 kms. (Which is
40% of the forest boundaries) Here also maintenance of the fire lines is required only in
evergreen, semi evergreen and part of moist deciduous forests. This works out approximately
300 kms. (Which is 30% of the compartment boundary) Here re-clearing to the width of 3.2
mtrs. heaping and burning along the line is to be done. Shimoga circle SSR Item No. 116 is Rs.
469.35/- So this rates keeps on revising every year and depending on the revised rate the fund
may be calculated every year. As in this case the consequences explained above here also 50%
124
of the remaining compartment boundary for maintenance in the drier region i.e., for (700 / 2) 350
kms
276. It is seen that the maintenance of boundaries is not done properly done by the territorial
staff due to busy work and other responsibilities. Some of the stones fixed are found to be
missing; sometimes these are shifted by the local people so as to encroach the adjoining
forestlands. The field staff should be vigilant and check such instances besides taking action
against the offenders.
Section 3
MAINTENANCE OF TIMBER DEPOTS
277. There are two major timber depots in Shimoga division, namely Alkola timber depot and
Kumsi timber depot located at Shimoga and Kumsi respectively. Besides, each range has a depot
attached to it. As there is not much extraction of timber in the division, the depot at Alkola may
only be maintained and the depot at Kumsi may be closed. The staff of Kumsi depot may be used
for protection purpose. Similarly, all the depots attached to the ranges except at Thirthahalli and
Rippanpet may be closed and the staff engaged in these depots may be deployed for protection
duty. The depot at Thirthahalli may be retained for the use of people from Agumbe and
Thirthahalli ranges. The depot attached to Rippanpet range may also be retained for the use of
local villagers of the Arasal. All the Teak and Beete timber caught and confiscated to
Government may be transported to Alkola depot in Shimoga.
Section 4
SANDAL WOOD DEPOT
278. Because of the depletion of mature Sandalwood trees in the forest and private lands not
much sandalwood is supplied to the Sandalwood depots. The supply of Sandalwood made to
various industries is shown in Annexure – 18. At present there are two Sandalwood depots in
Shimoga circle, namely the Sandalwood depots at Tarikere and Shimoga. It is proposed to close
Tarikere Sandalwood depot and retain Shimoga Sandalwood depot as the latter is located in the
district headquarters and is housed in a relatively protected area. The staff of Tarikere
Sandalwood depot may be re-deployed elsewhere.
279. At present Sandalwood seized by the department is kept in the open compound of the
range office compounds. A number of thefts have occurred in respect of Sandalwood stored in
some of the range office compounds because of inadequate security. It is therefore necessary to
transport all the seized material to the Sandalwood depot at Shimoga for better security.
Section 5
UP-DATING OF FOREST RECORDS IN THE REVENUE REGISTERS:
280. As soon as the notification is issued under Section 17 of the Karnataka Forest Act, 1963
declaring certain area as Reserved forest, it is the duty of revenue authorities to change the
details in the mutation register to that effect stating that land is declared as Reserved forest. But
usually in practice, it is not being done by the Revenue authorities, with the result that Reserved
125
forests are being granted to the local villagers. In order to avoid such discrepancies, the territorial
staff should take up the matter with the Revenue authorities to update the forest details in the
revenue registers (Mutation registers). Directions from the Government are already available to
the effect, which need to be pursued vigorously. So far, 51,849.27 hectares of forest land have
been mutated in the revenue records in favour of the Forest Department. It is suggested that
balance areas should also to be mutated by 2003-2004.
Section 6
MAINTENANCE OF BUILDINGS
281. The division has a large number of buildings including residential houses, rest houses,
office buildings, seed storage sheds etc., which were constructed over the years. Due to paucity
of funds many of these assets have not been maintained well and some of these are in dilapidated
condition. These need to be repaired and regularly maintained. It is suggested that at least one
percent of the financial allocations of the division should be towards maintenance of these
buildings. The details is shown in Annexure – 19.
Section 7
AREAS TO BE NOTIFIED UNDER SECTION 4 OF KARNATAKA FOREST ACT, 1963
282. An extent of 4122.35 ha of revenue lands was handed over by the Revenue department to
the Forest Department as per Government order No. 32LAD 62 dated 1.8.1964 and 6.7.1965.
These areas need to be notified under Section 4 followed by Section 17 of the Karnataka Forest
Act, 1963. The details of areas are given in Annexure – 20.
Section 8
AREAS TO BE NOTIFIED UNDER SECTION 17 OF THE KARNATAKA FOREST ACT, 1963
283. An extent of 4122.35 ha comprising of 1013.76 ha in Hosanagara taluk, 464.13 ha in

Shimoga taluk and 2644.46 ha in Thitthahalli taluk has been notified under Section 4 and
notifications under Section 17 are awaited. Forest Settlement Officer should take appropriate
action to get the final notifications issued. The details have been given in Annexure – 21.
284. At this stage detailed prescriptions cannot be prescribed as there are many encroachments
in the areas and some portions are likely to be deleted at the time of settlement.
285. These areas have to be treated as per the prescriptions under the JFPM or Afforestation
and plantations management working circles depending upon their priority and site needs. The
Deputy Conservator of Forests, Shimoga should plan accordingly after the issue of notifications
under Section 17 covering the above areas.
126
Section 9
REGULARIZATION OF FOREST LANDS ENCROACHED PRIOR TO 1978
286. Government of India vide letter No. 8-50 / 95 dtd 15.5.1996 have approved regularisation
of 1246 hectares of forest land in favour of 1121 persons who have encroached these lands prior
to 1978. As per the guidelines issued from the Government the scrutiny of the beneficiaries is to
be done at the earliest so as to deduct the area from forest area after issuing of notifications.
Section 10
MAINTENANCE OF PLANTATION JOURNALS
287. Plantation journal is not a control record but its maintenance becomes absolutely
necessary to know the historical accounts of the plantations raised. As stipulated in the
Karnataka Forest Code, Plantation journal has to be maintained for each plantation raised.
Perusal of the plantation journal gives a total account of the plantation, starting from raising to
the final harvest. It should therefore be ensured that in the division plantation journals are
opened as soon as new plantations are formed and posted up to date by the concerned Range
Forest officers. Besides, the Deputy Conservator of Forests should prepare a compendium of
plantations at the end of the year showing the exact location of the plantations in the village
maps with number of the forest compartment, extent and year of formation etc. The compendium
of plantations should be prepared in the prescribed format, as indicated in Annexure – 22.
Section 11
REGISTER OF DEVIATIONS FROM THE WORKING PLAN
288. Working Plan prescriptions are given depending on the requirement of the area based on
the inventory analysis and keeping in view the policy guidelines. However, certain local
conditions may warrant deviations from the prescriptions given in the plan. Under such
circumstances, the jurisdictional Deputy Conservator of Forests should write to the Chief
Conservator of Forests, Working Plans giving justification for such deviations and seek
permission for such deviations. Only after receipt of approval from the Principal Chief
Conservator of Forests, Evaluation, Working Plans, Research and Training, the Deputy
Conservator of Forests should implement the deviations. While doing so, the Deputy
Conservator of Forests will record in the register called Register of Deviation from the Working
Plan.
289. At the end of the year, a consolidated statement of deviations made in the Division will
be submitted by the Deputy Conservator of Forests to the Chief Conservator of Forests, Working
Plans in the Performa as given in Annexure – 23.
Section 12
CONTROL MAPS
290. Control maps should be maintained on blank copies of 4 inch or 8 inch to a mile scale
maps. Two copies of each map should be kept posted up, one in
Range Forest Office and the other in Division office. Once in a year, the Range Forest officer
127
should send the map maintained in his office to the Division office Details from this map are
then marked in the map maintained in the Division office. The control map should show the
boundaries of exploited compartments, conservation areas, plantations, thinned areas, tending
and regeneration areas. The locations of wells, tanks, buildings, fire lines should also be shown.
Section 13
BEATS AND SECTIONS BOUNDARIES
291. It is noticed that Beat and Section boundaries are not delineated on the ground. In the
absence of clear-cut Beat and Section boundaries, the concerned Beat guards and Section
foresters are totally unaware of their exact territorial jurisdiction. This hampers smooth
administration and results in loss of accountability. Controlling of smuggling also becomes
difficult. It is suggested that the issue of delineating proper Beat and Section boundaries should
be immediately attended to by the Deputy Conservator of Forests and comprehensive proposal
should be got approved from the competent authority before carrying out actual demarcation in
the field.

Comparative soil analysis report in open areas ( grassy blanks ) in Acacia auriculiformis plantations and in
natural forests of Thirthahalli range
The study was undertaken to know the reason, why the native species did not come up in the
barren grassy patches and now they are coming up well in the Acacia plantations in the same area. This
might be attributed to improvement in the physico chemical properties of soil after planting the Acacia.
In this connection, a study has been taken to know the relative changes in the chemical
properties of soil in the grassy blanks and 10 year old Acacia plantations of Thirthahalli range, where the
extensive Acacia plantations are raised on grassy blanks.
The soil samples were collected from different plantation areas randomly at three different depths
viz. 0 - 10, 10 - 25, & 25 - 40 cms approximately 0.5 Kg soil collected from each depth during December
2000. The soil analysis result has been given in the following tables: -

Inference :
PH: In general, the soil of Thirthahalli range are found to be acidic. As per the soil analysis report PH
value of the soil under Acacia plantations is turning towards neutral. It is suggested from the soil
laboratory to add 250 Kg. of Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) / acre to improve the PH value of the soil.
Minerals: There is an improvement in the mineral content of the soil under the Acacia auriculiformis.
Organic carbon : The significant improvement in the organic carbon content in the soils of Acacia
auriculiformis plantations.
Phosphorus : There is an significant change in the phosphorus content soils. The afternoon
requirement phosphorus is 22 Kg. / acre. But however the soil analysis report shows 32 Kg / acre, which
is more than sufficient for forest crop.
Potash : There is a significant improvement in the potash content of the soils under Acacia plantations
compared to barren areas, which may be due to continuos accumulation of leaf litter.
Conclusion :
From the above, it reveals in the improvement of PH, availability of minerals, organic carbon &
potash which in turn improved the physico-chemical properties of soil, which might have induced the
development of native species under the older Acacia plantations. Which was not the case, when the
areas were grassy patches.
