No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in any retrieval system or transmitted, in any form or by any means, electronic, mechanical, photocopying, recording or otherwise, without the prior written permission of the copyright holders. 2 Forest Utilization Forest Utilization PREFACE Forestry Utilization is the subject that deals with harvest, processing and disposal of forest produce. Although the focus till now has been on wood products, particularly timber, the economic and social importance of various non-wood products is now duly appreciated in the sphere of forest management. Under the JICA project on ‘Capacity Development for Forest Management and Training of Personnel’ being implemented by the Forest Department, Govt of West Bengal, this course material on Forest Utilization has been prepared for induction training of the Foresters and Forest Guards. The object of this training manual is to help the frontline forest personnel have a better perception about basic principles and procedures involved in forest utilization. The subjects covered in these materials broadly conform to the syllabus laid down in the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Environment of Forests, Govt of India, vide the Ministry’s No 3 -17/1999-RT dated 05.03.13. In dealing with some of the parts of the course though, the syllabus has been under minor revision to facilitate better understanding of the subjects and to provide their appropriate coverage.
