The present study was aimed at observing the types of bamboo growing in the forest and identifying the villagers’ strategies in sustaining natural resource. The study was conducted from September to November 2018. The data of types of bamboo was collected through a field observation, whilst the data on villagers’ strategies was gathered using an interview technique to the 30 respondents. A snowball sampling method was used for respondent selection. The result showed that there were about seven species of bamboo distributed across the forest that have been utilized by Kalaodi villagers, who have a direct access to the forest, as a raw material for making household furniture. Kalaodi villagers have their own traditional way to preserve bamboo trees from extinction. Also, the forest area has been divided into two categories of land use: the privately owned land and the protected forest. The villagers develop strategies to sustain bamboo vegetation by cultivating the plant in both the forest and their owned land; complying with the restriction of over- exploitation and destruction; utilizing bamboo for household needs, and passing the local wisdom to young generation. Keywords: Types of bamboo, types of bamboo utilization, Kalaodi local wisdom.
