Plantation and Interaction Program On the Occasion of National Community Forestry Day, 2081

The Plantation and Interaction Program for National Community Forestry Day 2081 took place on July 25, 2081, at Badkibhawani CF in Bansgadhi. The event, chaired by Mrs. Mina Rijal and attended by key local figures, began with a tree planting activity involving species such as Amala, Jamun, and Amriso. This was followed by speeches that highlighted the significance of community forests, their historical development in Nepal, and strategies for sustainable management.

Key speakers, including Mr. Krishna Prasad Bastola and Mr. Prem Prasad Sharma, underscored the importance of community forestry for conservation, community development, and ecotourism. The event emphasized the need for proper care of plantations and fostering collective efforts among stakeholders to protect forest resources and promote local cultural sites like the Badkibhawani Temple. The program successfully enhanced community awareness about forest conservation and management, though it faced challenges such as coinciding with the rainy and agricultural season and the Nagpanchami Festival. It concluded with a shared commitment to future initiatives and sustainable forestry practices.
