Project Purpose
Sets of technically appropriate and economically affordable measures for natural forest rehabilitation are developed that can be used by forest enterprise, watershed management board, and extension workers.("Sets of measures'' means the methods to apply silvicultural techniques for natural forest rehabilitation and farmland management techniques in watershed area.)
Expected Outputs
1. Information on existing techniques and policies in relation to natural forest rehabilitation and on techniques developed by the Project is complied and disseminated in a timely manner.
2. Silvicultural techniques for natural forest rehabilitation in watershed area are developed through research and on-farm trials.
3. Farmland management techniques in watershed area are developed for Song Da FE, Song Da WMB, extension workers of AFE, and local farmers through on-farm trials.
4. Examples of silvicultural techniques for natural forest rehabilitation and farmland management techniques in watershed area are demonstrated for technical officers and local farmers to apply in their localities.
5. Monitoring system is established for assessing the achievement of each Output and for deriving the lessons of each Output to attain the Project Purpose.
Activities
1.1 Collect and analyze written documents.
1.2 Conduct field visits to advanced projects and good examples.
1.3 Identify prominent species and methodology for the natural regeneration research and on-farm trials.
1.4 Publish leaflets on hands-on techniques targeting local farmers based on existing information and share with other projects.
1.5 Establish and maintain web-based database for collected information in an easily accessible manner.
1.6 Share the techniques developed by the Project with relevant organizations.
2.1 Based on information collected by activities 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3, investigate the existing silvicultural and nursery techniques in the surrounding area of Hoa Binh Province and in the other areas of Vietnam for comparison.
2.2 Design and establish experimental sites and on-farm trial activity sites on silvicultural techniques for natural forest rehabilitation in watershed area.
2.3 Conduct and analyze research on native species seedling production.
2.4 Conduct and analyze research on silvicultural techniques for natural forest rehabilitation.
2.5 Conduct and analyze on-farm trials to identify effective techniques to increase forest coverage and socio-economic values of bare-lands and uplands through farmers' participatory practices.
2.6 Compile silvicultural techniques including seedling production for natural forest rehabilitation in watershed area.
3.1 Design and establish on-farm trial activity sites to apply and verify farmland management techniques.
3.2 Provide the practical knowledge and techniques for local farmers, Song Da FE, Song Da WMB, and extension workers of AFE in order to implement on-farm trial activities.
3.3 Conduct and analyze on-farm trials to identify effective techniques to increase agricultural productivity with utilizing local resources through farmers' participatory practices.
4.1 Establish a demonstration site to show examples of silvicultural techniques for natural forest rehabilitation and farmland management techniques in watershed area.
4.2 Maintain the demonstration site.
4.3 Establish management system involving local people.
5.1 Based on activities 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 and baseline survey (activities 2.2.1 and 3.1.1), refine the Plan of Operations and the indicators for Project Purpose and Outputs described in PDM.
5.2 Conduct monitoring to assess the achievement of each Output.
5.3 Derive the lessons of each Output to develop the methods to apply silvicultural techniques for natural forest rehabilitation and farmland management techniques in watershed area.
