The report COVers the entire forest area of the district comprising three Forest Divisions viz. North Dilaspur(Pendra), Bilaspur and Korba. The inventory shows that out' of the recorded forest area of 7974.5 sq.km, about 92% area is under actual forest cover; ax of the area is either blank or under cultivation. Sal forests occupy 51.43% and MiMed forests occupy 44.95% of the forest. Salai fore~ts occur in 3.62% of the area. Sal is the dominant species in the district and contributes L~bout 31% to the totai growing stock. Other impC?rant species are saja and salai contributing nearly 11.9% of the total vol ume. The tot 1211 growi ng stoc~, in .the di ~tr i ct is about S6.5 million cubic metr~s, WhlCh works out at 82.95 cubic metres per hectar~ of th~ forest area. Bamboo occurs as an under storey in nearly 15X of the forest area. TQt~l yrowing stOC~( of bamboo is to the tune of 4.94 1 al:h tonn8s {ai r- dr-y wei ght) • This report was complIed by Shri S.C.Gupte, IFS, Joint Director, Forest Survey of India, Central Zone, Nagpur with the C:\s&istanc:e from Shri M.D.Singh, Senior Technical Assistant and Shri Anil Biala, Junior Technical Assistant.
