ABSTRACT This plan describes the management objectives of Sao Hill Division IV Forest Plantation for the period of five years from 2013/14 to 2017/18. The goals of this management plan are: to ensure sustainable supply of raw materials to forest based industries and other users; and to ensure that protective functions of forests are observed all over the area under the plantation management thereby conserving water sources, enhancing ecosystem stability and biodiversity conservation. In order to achieve these goals during the planed period replanting of open areas will be done, carry out different tending operations, protect the forest against various damages, and also regulate harvesting to conform to approved felling schedules. Furthermore riverines will be left undisturbed during forest resources harvesting activities for about 50m on both sides. The forest plantation will also ensure protection of natural forests and biodiversity. The other conservation activities include protection against cultivation on steep slopes and on water sources. The development of this plan was guided by existing policies and laws, ecological and socio-economic studies conducted inside and outside the plantation, information from existing documents/ files and personal communications with key stakeholders. Data for this plan was collected by the Forest Inventory Section in collaboration with Sao Hill Division IV Forest Management. Field work took place in May 2013; this data provided information for determination of standing and allowable volume. The standing volume was 529,978.28 mÂł. The age class distribution of the plantation is uneven meaning that the forest is not normal. Therefore the objective of this plan is to regulate the forest to attain normal forest. In order to have a normal forest, harvesting will not exceed allowable cut. In this forest allowable cut has been estimated to be 52,438m3/year. During the planning period the main species to be planted at Sao Hill Division IV Forest Plantations includes Pinus patula,P.caribea,P.kesiya Eucalyptus Spp. The choice of species is based on performance and demand. Land preparation will be done by Casual labourers and permanent staff. Planting will be done during the high rains season (January - March). Planting targets for the planning period is 401.87ha for replanting, 6000hafor planting in new extension areas and beating up 1921ha. A total of 14 compartments will be planted in the plan period. Weeding in plantations will be done in all young compartments, by using casual laboures and permanent staff. Pruning will be done at the age of 4, 6 and 8 years during dry season to reduce the chances of fungal and insect attack through wounds. First thinning at 10 yrs and second at 15yrs will be done for stands that were established with a spacing of 3m x 3m. For stands that were established with a spacing of 2.5m x 2.5m, there will be three thinning regimes, which are first at 10yrs, second at 14yrs and third at 18yrs. The methods to be used for thinning will be selective. Trees to be removed will be marked before harvesting. During the planning period there will be a construction of 50km of new access road at the extension area. In the same period the plantation will maintain about 343km of forest roads. The intention is to maintain all the roads to make the plantation accessible whenever possible. There will be a construction of 11 buildings in the Plantation. One buildings will be constructed during the period of 2014/15, Two buildings 2015/16, Two Buildings 2015/216, Two Buildings 2016/217 and Four buildings 2017/18. At the same time maintenance of the 15 buildings will be done throughout the plan period. ii Â


During the plan period 4 vehicle and 5 motor cycles will be procured for different plantation activities. 5 motorcycle will be procured in year 2014/15 while one vehicle will be procured each year of management plan. A total of 3 vehicle, 1 plants and 1 motor cycles will be maintained. Replacement of unserviceable tools and equipment will be done during the plan period. Taped water from rivers will continue to supply water for both domestic and nursery use. The system to be used under the plan period will be water flows by gravity to the main tank located at high elevation at the station through pipelines, and flows to the nursery and to the staff houses. The plantation manager will strive to cover the staff deficit of four staff. Recruitments of temporary staff will be initiated by the Forest Manager whenever need arises. In the planning period, 62 staff will be trained through short courses/on job training in order to improve their working capacities. The long-term training programmes will be financed by the TFS. The aim is to ensure that all staff are competent in their working areas. Within the tentative period, we will generate a total amount of Tshs 12,873,534,381 from clear felled compartments and other sources (ie. LMDA and Royalty)The sources of revenues will be from the sales of tree standing volumes, poles, pulp wood, fines, and other minor forest products. Staff salaries will continue to be paid by the TFS. During the plan period, the plantation will be protected from fire, diseases and pests. Natural forests that cover 2080 ha will be protected and conserved for their biodiversity and water catchment values During the management plan period, the plantation will spend a total amount of TSh. 11,439,516,362 for implementing planned operations as detailed in Tables 26

INTRODUCTION Tanzania Forest Services (TFS) agency is faced by the challenge of ensuring sustainable management of forest resources for the benefit of present and future generations. Management Plan is one of the most important instruments to achieve sustainable forest management (SFM) practices. The 1998 National Forest Policy statements (1); (6); (18); and (20) and their subsequent directions indicate the need for management of all types of forest reserves based on forest management plans. Furthermore, part III of the forest Act provides legal backing and describes how planning and management can be achieved through Management plans for all types of forests. This document will provide the basis for all Annual Plans of Operations (APO) for the period of five years. This document is divided into four main chapters namely descriptive, directive, and prescriptive, and appendices and each chapter is further divided in subsections. This document describes the Management Plan for Division Four is part of Saohill Forest Plantations in Mufindi District,Iringa Tanzania. The plan will be implemented in the next 5-year management period, 2013/14 to 2017/18.The species in these division that are used for sawlogs, pulp and poles are: i. Hardwoods: Eucalyptus maidenii & Eucalyptus grandis and ii. Softwoods: Pinus patula,Pinus kessiya & Pinus caribea. On the implementation of this Management Plan, the Division Manager shall observe the following;i. ii. iii. iv. v. vi.

read and clearly understand the contents of the plan; carefully make use of all forestry resources i.e land, trees, labour, funds, tools, machines and equipment in the right time and manner so as to obtain maximum achievement of objectives as stipulated herein; choose the shortest effective and efficient methods to achieve maximum targets stipulated in this plan; be prepared to take risks in order to achieve planned objectives; ensure that the best returns (Revenue or Production) against all marketable resources or products are achieved while ensuring environmental conservation; and Organise jobs and weigh the results by giving a close follow up of the planned jobs by keeping up to date information for comparison and control of targets and costs.

This Management Plan is valid for the period of 5 years effective from 1st July 2013 to 30th June 2018. Revision of this plan shall be done six months before expiry of the five years period

CHAPTER ONE DESCRIPTION OF THE FOREST PLANTATION

1.1. LOCATION

The Division four (Mgololo) is one of the four divisions of Sao Hill Forest Plantation which is situated in the Northern Highland part of Tanzania in Mufindi district Iringa region. Division IV forest is located in the lower elevation area of the Mufindi Escarpment and partly in Kilombero District.It lies between grid references 750000 E – 9050000N and 770000E – 9032000N and about altitudes 2000m. a. s. l. on the Eastern and South Eastern side of the division TAZARA Railway line passes. The office is situated about 88Kms from the main office of Sao Hill Forest Plantation, which is about 20 Kms from Mafinga Town.

1.2. HISTORY AND PROGRESS OF THE PLANTATION 1.2.1 History

The Sao Hill Division four Forest Plantation started during the phase II of the World Bank Loan Agreement, which took off since 1980 and ended 1989. That was regarded as aforestation programme of Pine and Eucalyptus to meet the domestic and export demand for paper and to supply round logs, poles and fire woods to the sawmill. From 1980 to date, a total 9622.72 ha of forest plantations have been planted with various species mainly Pines patula, Pines kessiya, P. elliotii, P.caribea, E.grandis, E.maidenii, and mixed species of P.patula/P.kessiya and E.grandis/P.patula

1.2.1.1 Division of the plantation The Division is devided into three administrative ranges namely i/ Kitasengwa This range is devided in several compartments which makes a total of 3418.ha and the main species includes Pines patula, Pines kessiya, P. elliotii, P.caribea, E.grandis & E.maidenii. ii/Luiga range. This range covers a total 19659.9ha of which 11635 ha is extension area not yet planted and 8024.9ha is planted with different species including Pines patula, Pines kessiya,& E.grandis, This range is neither surveyed nor mapped so those operations are to be conducted during this plan period as well to divide it to form new range(Simbi). iii/Magunguli range. This range is located in Magunguli village with a total area of 2571 ha of which 2080 ha is natural vegetation and 491 ha is plantation with Pines patula, Pines kessiya and Ciprus spp

1.2.1.2 Legal Status and Ownership The Forest and the land are owned by the Government of Tanzania, and were gazetted from Mufindi District of Iringa Region under Government Notice No. 102 of 27/8/1982 Mgololo Forest Reserve and Government Notes 450 Mufindi Escapment Forest as shown on the JB 2053 map. Now the forest plantation is under the ownership of Tanzania Forest Services Agency (TFS) which was 1


established by the Government Notice No. 269 of 30th July 2010. The Division is divided into three administrative ranges namely Kitasengwa,Magunguli and Luiga range.Luiga range needs to be surveyed and mapped and to be divided to a new range Range. ( Sao Hill Forest Plantations Management map, Appendix 9) . 1.2.2. Progress of the Plantation for the last Management Plan

The performance of the forest plantation for the last five years was good. During that period the division has succeed to plant a total 6245.22ha in both extension areas and replanting , and also to produce an average of 2,500,000 Seedlings in every year and other several tending operations according to annual plan of operation (APO). Different kind of challenges affected plantation performance. Some of these challenges include inadequate qualified forest staff to execute forest operations according to the APOs.There is also occasional illegal harvest of trees probably due to the vastness of the plantation area as compared to few staff at present; obsolete and inadequate vehicles and machines (plants) for different operations.

1.3.2. Topography and hydrology

The reserved area including the surrounding area is very broken with steep valleys. Almost every valley bottom consists of swampy grounds portraying streams and rivers flowing out. Average altitude ranges from 2000m.a.s.l over the escarpment to 1200m.a.s.l below the escarpment. At the foot of the escarpment is a strip of easy country beyond which the terrain changes rapidly to folding topography. 1.3.3. Geology and Soils

The soils derive mainly from granites, which are deeply weathered. The soils are moderately acidic, freely drained and markedly compacted near the surface where there is often a very high coarsegrained soil fraction. Top soils, frequently exposed to farm cultivation and are somehow exhausted in humus content. Soil colours range from olive-brown to red-orange. The soil pH varies between 4.5 and 6.5. 1.3.4. Vegetation

The lower elevation (–Mgololo area) below the escarpment is mainly covered by tall grasses principally Loundetia simplex, which grows in warmer areas. The north area of the Mufindi Paper Mill site going-up the escarpment falls into dry sub-humid forest with natural glades. The forest of woodland vegetation is scattered with open grassland composed of Themeda elyonurus and trichoptery species of grass. The Northern Eastern slopes goes down to the Ruaha River are covered with woodland typical of dry sub-humid and dominated by Miombo trees; Isoberlinia and Brachystegia spp, mixed with Euphorbia napaca. 1.3.5. Biodiversity Potentials

The plantation area is rich in biodiversity especially in the river valleys. These sites inhabit different life forms of flora and fauna. Animals like monkeys, squirrels and ‘ndezi’ as well as variety of birds, snakes and insects.

1.3.6. Special feature and Sites

There are some few special features which are within the forest plantation, these features include, land slide which occur mainly along slopes of escarpment and mafinga mgololo public road which passes in the forest

1.4. CLIMATE 1.4.1 Rainfall Distribution and Reliability

The climate is characterized by a long dry season and a bimodal rainfall distribution in Long period (December sometimes January to May) and the Short periods (July). The mean annual rainfall for the Division IV (Mgololo) plantation is about 1,500mm, which ranges from 500mm to 1650mm. The most reliable rains are the long rains; short rains are rather unreliable in most cases. Despite the marked seasonality, there is no distinctive dry period in Sao Hill division IV (Mgololo). The rainfall distribution is uniform throughout the plantation area.

3


1.4.2. Temperature

The temperature in lower elevation of Mufindi Escarpment is relatively warm compared to the upper parts where temperature is cold in some period of the year. The mid temperature of division ranging from 25 to 28 1.4.3. Wind

The plantation has three common wind patterns; the East Monsoon wind, which prevails from August to October, the West East winds, which prevail from February to March and unidirectional winds prevailing in April to July and November to January. The East Monsoon wind accelerates fire occurrences in the forest. Note. This climatic record described above is collected from mufindi paper mill(MPM) since there The following climatic records and explanation are obtained from Mufindi Paper Mill(MPM) since there is no reliable weather station in Division Four

1.5. GROWING STOCK 1.5 Growing stock The forest growing stock was determined by way of forest inventory and subsequent analyses. The details are provided in the following subsections.

1.5.1 Forest inventory Forest inventory field work started in April to May 2013. This was done by staff from Forest Plantations, Zonal TFS Offices and District forest offices. Inventory methodology was designed and adopted from the first phase of the forest inventory conducted in 2007/08 with some technical modification proposed by Forest Plantation Managers in the Iringa Workshop held in June 2012. The workshop was facilitated by the ForestCalc ® Inventory version 6 © 1998–2012 software developer Lauri Vesa from Finland. The description of this methodology is detailed in the Field Manual prepared by the Forest and Beekeeping Division (URT, 2008). 1.5.2

Inventory Results

Division IV of Sao Hill Forest Plantation has a total standing volume of 529,978.28m3. However, a large volume which constitutes 71% (Table 2) is a young stands range from 0 – 5 years. This implies that large volume of the plantation is from young stands.

Note: List of compartment per each site class are shown in Appendex 12 1.5.4 Current Annual Increment (CAI)

The compartment register (Appendix V) contains Current Annual Increments (CAI) for each compartment as extracted from the Yield Table by Malimbwi et al. (1998). The current annual increments were adjusted proportionally to stocking levels as follows: CAI = (Actual SPH/Yield Table SPH) x Yield Table CAI Compartment CAI = CAI X Compartment Area (ha) Allowable cut for the entire forest is the summation of all compartment CAIs. The current allowable cut is 52,438 m3/year which is equivalent to a total of 262,150 m3 for the entire five years of the plan. This volume comprises of clearfellings and thinnings. Most of the allowable cut is from clear felling. Compartments to be thinned and clear felled in the plan period are shown in Table 6. 1.5. 5 Health and Vitality

Most of the compartments are well stocked with good tree forms. Currently, tending operations are carried out in time due to the availability of funds as a result of the establishment of Logging Miscellaneous Deposit Account (LMDA). The clear felled areas are currently replanted immediately. The health of forest stand is good except for some parts of compartments affected by fire, which have contributed to the degradation of health and vitality of the plantation. 1.5.6

Management Units

The Division is managed in units of different sizes, ages and species which are known as compartments. The Management Units are known as compartments. These are units of different sizes, ages and species. The management units, however, form three blocks namely Luiga, 7 Â


Kitasengwa and Magunguli. The management units are referred according to division, block and then number of the compartment and subcompartment

1.6 Utilization 1.6.1 Markets

Due to the fact that nowadays most of the forest plantations in the country have few or no harvestable mature stands, many Saw millers are applying for harvesting permits in Sao Hill Forest Plantation so as to get wood raw materials for their sawmills. This ensures a readily available market for our raw materials. The wood from this Division is mainly sold to Mufindi Paper Mill and other medium to small sized mobile saw millers. In addition, the plantation supplies products such as building poles, firewood and non-wood forest products (fruits) to the nearby villagers.

1.6.2 Logging Logging is carried out by customers themselves according to plantation harvesting plans. Compartments due for felling are measured and standing volumes are sold to the customers through special permits given by a committee nominated by TFS. Customers are required to pay first for felling license before they are allocated felling coupes/ plots. The size of the plots or coupe varies according to the requirement. Plots or coupes are sold as standing volumes based on volume obtained on 100% assessment as carried out by the Harvesting and Licensing section of the Sao Hill forest plantation. Mechanism of harvesting are of two types namely; i. Mechanical harvesting –which are carried out by Big Customers such as Mufindi Paper Mills and ii. Manual harvesting-which are normally done by Small Customers.

1.7

Protection and conservation

1.7.1 Forest Fires Fire incidences have been a serious problem in Division IV despite having firelines in all compartments which are well maintained. In addition there are equipped fire fighting crews. 1.7.2 Man and domestic animal Illegal cutting of trees for logs is a sporadic phenomenon in the forest, especially in stands bordering villages. Cutting is usually done at night and weekends by neighboring villagers usually for commercial purposes. However, there is no incidence of domestic animals grazing in the forest.

1.8

Capital investments

1.8.1 Roads Generally the existing road network in the division is poor especially to the new extension areas . The road length in Division four plantations is about 423kms. The large portion of the forest road in extension areas was constructed by hand so need machine in order to be in a good condition. The road density is 98.7m/Ha in a plantation area of 9870.11Ha. The cost of maintaining 1Km using casual labour is about 15 mandays/Km.

CHAPTER TWO

2.0 DIRECTIVES 2.1

Overall goal

2.1.1 Wood production The overall goal of this management plan is to ensure sustainable supply of raw materials to forest based industries and other users. In order to achieve this goal during the planed period replanting of open areas should be done, carry out different tending operations, protect the forest against various damages, and also regulate harvesting to conform to approved felling schedules. Division Four should be managed for the following purposes:(a) To tend the existing plantations so as to maintain good stands for the productions of good quality raw materials for internal market; (b) To carry out replanting in already clear felled compartments to fulfill the protection function of the Division Four plantation thus to maintain soil, to conserve water, improve vegetation cover and conserve biological diversity; (c) To utilize the wood resources as it becomes available in regulated and economic manner; (d) To ensure sustainable supply of wood for now and the future by replanting immediately clearfelled compartments; and (e) To provide employment particularly to local communities and create awareness on Conservation needs of forests and environment. 2.1.2 Conservation

To ensure that protective functions of forests are observed all over the area under the plantation management thereby conserving water sources, enhancing ecosystem stability and biodiversity conservation. Riverines are left undisturbed during forest resources harvesting activities for about 50m on both sides. The forest plantation also ensures protection of natural forests and biodiversity

2.2

Specific Objectives

2.2.1 Silviculture

• The objectives of the silvicultural operations are to raise improved, healthy and adequate in number of planting stock (seedlings) to replant all clear felled areas to ensure sustainable yield for the present and future generations. • Tending operations are carried out in order to get quality final crop for forest-based industries and other users.

14 Â


2.2.2

Capital investments

The plantation objectives in capital investments include the following: • To maintain the existing structures (buildings) so that they are in good order. • To maintain the existing vehicles and plants so that they are in good working condition. • To purchase new vehicles and plants for smooth execution of plantation programmes • To maintain the whole length of existing forest roads to allow smooth execution of forest operations. • To establish a reliable communication facility for the plantation. 2.2.3

• • • • 2.2.4

Human resources

To improve working environment and general livelihood of workers and their families. To develop human resources capacities in terms of skills and knowledge. To ensure that the plantation staff and their families are in good health. To increase the number of staff members so as to satisfy the project requirement. Revenue generation

In order to improve revenue generation, the plantation will endeavour: • To improve revenue collection process by intensifying control and accountability amongst the responsible officers. • To explore new sources of revenue generation such as camping and eco-tourism. 2.2.5 Utilization

The objective is to ensure that raw materials are supplied sustainably to all users. The plantation management must keep on encouraging saw millers to utilize all tree parts including short wood and stumps and branches. 2.2.6

Protection and conservation

• To protect both natural and plantation forests against forest fires, illegal logging and grazing, insect attack and diseases and wild life damage. • To ensure that all water sources including riverine forests, steep slopes, valleys, are well protected by avoiding any kind of disturbance such as cultivation. • To ensure that all forest reserve boundaries are protected from encroachment. • To ensure that all inter-compartment boundaries and fire lines are maintained by slashing and screefing. • To maintain biodiversity (fauna and flora) which is available in the area. • To create a harmonious environment with our neighbours for good communication and support. • Maintain and intensify checkpoints for proper control of forest produce transportation from the forest 15


2.2.7

Resource assessment

• To make sure that accurate stocking, biomass, and specie-wise data are available. • To make sure that the whole plantation area is resurveyed and up-to-date maps are produced.

2.3

Strategic Targets

2.3.1 Silviculture 2.3.1.1 Species

Species selection is based on technical Order No. 1 of 2003. Seeds to be used in raising seedlings should be purchased from Tanzania Tree Seed Agency (TTSA). Due to delays in getting tree seeds from TTSA, sometimes the plantation collects tree seeds from plus trees in the plantation. Emerging sources of planting material such as the use of clones from TAFORI will also be considered. Also the choice of species will be governed by market demand, resistance of the species to diseases and suitability of the species to environment as well as its performance. In order to avoid monoculture and associated risks other species will be considered. 2.3.1.2 Planting Area

To ensure sustained yield of wood products, the Forest management should ensure that all clear felled areas are planted in time. According to rainfall regime in Southern Highland zone, the planting seasons are in January to March and beating up is done during the same periods. Stands establishment should continue to use taungya system but under close supervision of Forest staff. Plots in clearfelled areas earmarked for planting are allocated to both plantation staff and surrounding villagers well in advance to ensure that land preparation is done before trees are planted. Allocation of taungya plots is done by management. According to Technical Order No.1 of 2003, the spacing of 3 x 3 m. giving 1111 stems per hectare continues to be used unless directed otherwise by Tanzania Forest Service Agency (TFS). The system (Taungia) allows the farmers to do farming for one year and hence assists in initial weeding of trees while they weed their crops 2.3.1.3 Nursery operations

Seedlings should be raised in polythene tubes of size 10cm diameter and gauge 250 using soil mixture of 7 parts top forest soil, 1 mycorrhizal and 2 parts of cow manure (7:1:2). There is no official document directing the use of these sizes. However, these were adopted through experience and economic point of view. The amount of soil ingredients filled in pots provides enough nutrients to the seedling which stay in the nursery for at most six to seven months after which they are planted out. In addition NPK fertilizer is added at the ration of 28gms per tin of soil mixture. The main species to be raised will be Pinus patula, P. kesiya and Eucalyptus spp. According to the plantation nursery calendar (Appendix III, seedling to be planted in December/January are raised in April/May. Based on the size of the polythene tube of 10cm diameter, Division Four can raise up to 2,500,000 to 3,000,000 seedling/year respectively.

16


2.3.1.4 Tending operations 2.3.1.4.1 Thinning

Thinning is necessary to enhance diameter increment. The thinning schedule indicated in technical order No 1 of 2003 should continue to be applied (Table 9). All species planted in Division Four except Eucalyptus require thinning. The thinnings are selective and priority for removals is defective and diseased trees. Thinning is done by customers after marking of the trees to be thinned by plantation staff. Table 10: Thinning schedule for Pines S/No

Survival assessment of planted trees should be done after one year prior to next planting season in order to determined survival percentage as the basis to carry out beating up. However, currently there is no technical order in place for survival assessment. 2.8.4

Assessment for Harvesting

Choice of compartments to be harvested should base on the following criteria diseased: wind thrown, damaged by biological or climatic agents, and those subjected to drought are given first priority; Stands of higher site class are also given priority as they mature early; on the same site class start with older stands; on compartment of the same age start with lower stocked stands; compartment which are inaccessible should be left out of calculation; and in respect to customers need’s and preference, start with customers preference. Harvesting involves establishment of TARIFF NUMBERS for compartments due for harvesting in order to determine the value for pricing according to laid down guidelines titled “Measurement and Selling of Timber Using Tariff Table”.

2.9 Research 2.9.1

Research areas/problems for research

2.10

Social economic aspects

Forest research activities are the sole responsibility of TAFORI and higher academic institutions however the plantation should liaise with them to establish Permanent Sample Plots (PSP) for monitoring of tree growth and assist in protecting their trial plots. These institutions are also encouraged to undertake research to solve emerging management problems

The area of Division Four bordering with local people’s farms the boundary trees (Eucalyptus spp) should be maintained to indicate permanent boundary between village farms and forest plantation to avoid encroachment.

CHAPTER THREE 3.0 PRESCRIPTIONS 3.1 SILVICULTURE 3.1.1 Nursery Operations

Tree seedlings for replanting in clearfelled areas, beating-up and planting in extension area will be raised at Kitasengwa nursery. In addition another tree seedlings will be obtained from Irundi n ursery will. 3.1.1.1 Species selection

The main species to be planted at Kitasengwa nursery includes Pinus patula, P. kesiya, P. caribea and Eucalyptus Spp. The choice of species is based on performance and demand. Moreover, proposed Eucalyptus clones will continue to be planted in selected extension areas. 3.1.1.2 Soil Ingredient

The soil mixture which will be used in Meru forest permanent nurseries will be as follows:• • • •

7 parts forest soil; 1 parts cow manure (decomposed); 2 parts decomposed litter (mycorrhizae) (from old stand of the species to be raised) 28 gms of NPK.

3.1.1.3 Seedling raising techniques

Seedlings will be raised in polythene tubes of size 10cm diameter by 15cm length. A total of 15,000,000 seedlings will be raised in the plan period for the plantation needs based on estimates of 1,111 stems per hectare for pines and 2,500 stems per hectare for Eucalyptus including 25% as losses and amount needed for beating up. Seed sowing will be done in seedbed for Eucalyptus and pines. Seeds will be evenly broadcasted, covered with thin layer of sand (twice the seed thickness) then will be pressed gently. The sowing density depends on type of seeds. However, low sowing density will be applied to avoid damping off. Seedlings for planting December/January, seeds will be sown in April/May. Pot filling will be done by casual labourers at 1,000 pots per man-day. The soil will be stored under shade six months before filling into the polythene tubes. It will be turned once or twice during the preparation period.

3.1.1.4 Nursery tending technique 3.1.1.4.1 Watering regime

Watering frequency will depend on the season of the year. During dry season, watering will be done in two times per day, early in the morning and late in the evening consecutively for 6 months. After six months, seedlings will be subjected to hardening off for three months before planting them. 3.1.1.4.2 Sanitary/health operations

The nursery will be weeded regularly to free young seedlings from weed competition. The surroundings 23


will be kept clean to avoid pests. The frequency will depend on the type and amount of weeds. Fungicide and insecticides application will be done in the nurseries to overcome the problem of fungi and insects. All other non-required items will be removed from the nursery, as they often tend to harbour unwanted insects and animals. The nursery will be protected against any destructive agents like wandering animals, playing children etc. the hedges will always be maintained. 3.1.1.4.3 Pricking out

The filled pots will be watered for two days before transplanting so as to stabilize the soil. Pricking out of seedlings will be done immediately after attaining first two leave in the seed- bed. Seedlings will be held by the cotyledon to avoid damage of the stems. Pricked out of seedlings will be done on polythene pots arranged in a transplant beds. 3.1.1.4.4 Root pruning

Root pruning will be done using knives or sometimes by shifting pots. Pruning exercise will be done fortnightly and normally 3 months after transplanting in pots until seedlings are ready for lifting out to the field. Seedling will be subjected to hardening off by reducing the frequency of watering and increasing frequency of root pruning. In order to ensure success in nursery activities all nursery activities will follow nursery calendar as shown in the Appendix III

3.1.2 Planting

3.1.2 Land preparation Before planting, land preparation will be done in replanting and new planting areas. During this plan both casual labourer and permanent staffs will be involved to prepare land for replanting compartments. After land preparation this areas of replanting is allocated to permanent staff and nearby villagers to cultivate food crops mainly maize for one year only. Most of the planting will be done during the season when the coverage of rainfall will be high. The planting stock size will be 30 cm in height. The normal spacing for pine in the forest plantation will be 3m x 3m and for Eucalyptus will be 2.5 m x2.5 m. Pit size will be 30 cm x 30 cm. This will be prepared shortly before planting. List of compartments and areas to be planted in the plan period is shown in Table 12.

Planting targets for the planning period is 401.87ha for replanting 6000ha extension areas and beating up 1921h. A total of 14 compartments will be planted in the plan period. List of compartments and areas to be planted in the plan period is shown in Table 12. Table 12: List of compartments to be planted in planning period YEAR 2013/14 TOTAL

3.1.3 Survival assessment for replanting and beating up.

All clearfelled areas will be replanted the next year after completion of clearfelling. Beating up precedes planting of new areas to ensure that the beaten up seedlings catch up with those planted the previous year. The survival assessment will be carried out nine months after planting. Normally beating up is done if survival is greater than 40% but less than 80%. If survival is less than 40% replanting has to be done. 25


3.1.4

Tending operations

3.1.4.1 Weeding

Sanitary slashing will normally done in all young standing compartments. It is done once a year until the compartment attains the age of five to six years old. This is done after long rains. From there onwards climber cutting is undertaken where necessary. In the first year of planting people are allowed to plant agricultural crops.Spot weeding also will be done two month after planting 3.1.4.2 Singling Singling will be done in area where there is unwanted and regenerated plants in the compartments. 3.1.4.3 Pruning

In practice, pruning will be done during dry season to reduce the chances of fungal and insect attack through wounds. Trees will be pruned two meters in height (low pruning or brushing) for the purpose of providing access to the plantation. High pruning will be done two meters above the brushing height. Hand tools such as machetes (panga) and pruning saws will be used in both low pruning (brushing) and high pruning (quality pruning). According to Technical order No 1 of 2003, pruning will be done at the age of 4, 6 and 8 years. 3.1.4.4 Thinning According to technical order No 1 of 2003 there are two thinning regimes, first thinning at 10 yrs and second at 15yrs. The methods used for thinning will be selective. Trees to be removed will be marked before harvesting. Compartments to be thinned are shown in table No 6.

3.2 ROADS 3.2.1 Construction

The construction of new roads of about 50 km each year will be required at Luiga extension areas where planting is carried out. Machines and plants such as Motor grader and buldozer will be required for this activity. 3.2.2 Maintenance

The frequency of maintenance will depend on the intensity of rainfall and type of road damages. The total of 343km will be repaired annually. The method of road maintenance is by machinery (Motor grader, wheel loader and bulldozer).

Communication facilities

During this plan period, the project is planning to maintain fire towers (F9 and F10) and Control center (CC4) at Kisilu and Luiga ranges in order to improve contacts within division and plantation headquarters. These shall include procurement of up to date radio calls and solar panels. The work will be done by the Forest protection and roads section of the Sao hill forest plantation. In areas where local networks are available the use of mobile phones is to a greater extent facilitating the communication between staff and other plantation stakeholders for official and private purposes. Limited airtime will be provided strategically to facilitate communication between staff members.

3.6. Water supply 3.6.1. Sources

The main source of water supply to the plantation is from rivers and water streams which runs through the plantation. Currently the amount of water is relatively adequate and sufficient. 3.6.2. Supply Systems

The supply system is through gravitational force and pipelines to domestic uses and nurseries. However, during the plan period, the plantation will construct more efficient intake stations able to hold ten thousands litres to ensure availability during emergency as well as drilling 3 deep well one at Makungu station and the other one at Simbi Range.

3.7. Social and health service

The social services available at the Forest Plantation include football pitch, a shop and domestic water tap and one dispensary. During the plan period, the Forest Plantation intends to improve and increase the health facilities and social welfare to cope with the increasing demand.

3.8. HUMAN RESOURCES

TFS will recruit new permanent term staff following recommendations from the Forest Manager. The plantation manager will strive to cover the staff deficit of 158 at Headquarter and 4 staff in Division Four. Recruitments of temporary staff will be initiated by the Forest Manager whenever need arises.

Control of revenues

The forest Manager will conduct regular training for personnel involved in revenue collection, timber grading, checkpoints, billing and timber measurement. Verification of field measurements will be done to ensure that correct measurement and records are taken. The Forest Plantation will collect government revenues by using authorized documents such as ERVs and License books. The daily collections must be promptly acknowledged through proper ERVs after banking by customers. The established gates and checkpoints will be used to monitor forest products passing through it whether they are covered by appropriate movement order/documents (transit passes, felling licences and ERVs). 3.10 Utilization 3.10.1 Harvesting Plans

Inventory data collected in May 2013were used to prepare the harvesting plan. Harvesting will be done by customers under the supervision of forest staff to ensure no destruction is done and no thefts of forest produce. The total allowable cut for the whole planning period is 262,190m3 as shown in Table 18.

3.10.1.1 Clear felling

The compartments earmarked for clear felling during the planning period is shown in Table22. Criteria used to select compartment for clear felling includes; age and low stocking levels. However during the year 2017/18 there will be no clearfelling since there is large amount of volume of thinning (89,089m3) while the allowable cut is 52,437m3. As shown in table No 6.

3.10.1.2. Thinning All first thinning at the age of 10 will be given priority. This will be followed by second thinning at the age of 15 years, on the criteria of number of stems per hectare and whether they are delayed or not. Trees to be thinned will be marked by plantation staff following directives given in the Technical Order No.1 of 2003. Thinning will be done by customers under supervision of plantation staff. A total of 92323m3 will be thinned. Compartments and volumes to be thinned in Division IV during the planning period is shown in Table 23

3.11 Protection and conservation 3.11.1 Fire Prevention and Control

During the plan period, the plantation will be protected from fire. Fire plan will be implemented in order to control fire occurrence. The following measures will be undertaken to prevent and control forest fire occurrences and eventually put off fires. • Cleaning fire breaks before the fire season to remove highly combustible wood and grass; • Purchasing and maintaining fire fighting equipment in a good working condition ready for use in case of fire. This will be done in conjunction with FTI, who has a good stock of fire fighting equipment; • Preventing the use of fire for land preparation by taungya farmers; • Keeping a roster of fire fighting crews and a standby vehicle during the fire season; and • Training plantation staff and community members from adjacent village on fire fighting techniques. In addition to the above precautionary measures, the plantation will continue to employ patrol men for patrolling the forest and reporting any fire incidences. The fire plan is attached as Appendix 1 34


3.11.2. Control plan for diseases and pests

Currently, there are no major diseases and pests in the plantation. 3.11.3 Soil and Biodiversity

Division Four forest plantation consists of planted trees and natural vegetation which has a higher potention of biodiversity. Natural forest covers 2080 ha which includes rivers and valleys that will be protected and conserved. Natural tree species such as miombo,Isoberlinia and Brachystegia spp, mixed with Euphorbia napaca. and many others will be protected and conserved. Also there are ranges of animals such as monkeys, squirrels and‘ndezi’ as well as variety of birds, snakes and insects 3.11.4 Animal and man damage

Animals like monkeys are the most wild animals found in the plantation. Currently there are no serious damage caused by animals. The destruction caused by human being such as encroachment, illegal harvesting are serious problems affecting the quality of the plantation. In the plan period low enforcement and extension services will be intensified through routine patrols and special operations, issue cultivation licences and fines 3.12

Site restoration

Assessment of areas affected by any destructive agent will be carried out immediately after the destruction has occurred. Restoration of such areas will be done through planting, construction of check dams in case of soil erosion or insitu conservation. Such damage will also be reported to the TFS CEO. 3.12

Resource assessment

Resurvey and mapping will be conducted in order to update the existing maps and forest stocking levels. The stocking level in newly planted compartment will be the basis for beating up. During the planning period boundary consolidation and replacing missing beacons particularly in areas bordering adjacent villages will be carried out. For the determination of harvesting coupes the plantation uses tarrif tables. Procedure for determining the tarrif number involves laying down sample plots in the compartment. The number of the plots depends on the area of the compartment. The value of the coupe will depend on the coupe size and tarrif number. The coupes are allocated to customers according to their raw material allocation. As a control measure ground scaling of sold logs will be carried out before transportation. Also firewood will be sold by stacked volume. Poles will be measure and sold by running meter respectively. Transit Pass (TP) will be issued to customers.

5. APPENDICES Appendix 1: Fire Plan This is an outline of the fire protection plan for the Sao Hill - Division IV (Mgololo) Forest Plantation and neighbouring natural forest and other land above the plantation. It is a standing instruction to all staff of the Plantation area. 5.1.1 Fire causes (1) Sometimes fire may escape during Land preparation. (2) Travellers on roads and paths. (3) Entry of bush fires from outside the forest. (4) Hunting (Poachers). (5) Arsons. (6) Bee honey collectors. (7) Saw millers logging crews during their activities. 5.1.2 Fire seasons The critical fire season is from July to December 5.1.3 Vulnerable areas The following list indicates the order of priority, which helps in determining the degree of patrol and attention: (1) Areas adjacent to newly harvested compartments. (2) Areas of local community neighbouring the Kitasengwa, Magunguli, and Luiga ranges 5.1.4 Fire protection measures (permanent measures) Fire protection measures will be of two types: i) Major fire breaks. These are clear felled or cultivated belts of 33.0 m wide or planted with Eucalyptus tree species. These firebreaks are to be maintained annually in May and June before the onset of the fire season. ii) Minor firebreaks Minor firebreaks will start and end at the road and compartment boundaries 13.2 m wide. Where the road exists, it will be kept clean of vegetation. 5.1.5 Location of fire breaks (1) Footing of Mufindi escapement west towards east nature reserve (2) Eastern end of plantation along Simbi hamlet (3) Green resources across Lugala village to ngokamisi river (4) A boundary fire break around Kisilu and Magunguli plantations

5.1.6 Communication 5.1.6.1 Roads Roads will provide access for fire fighting and fire baseline for counter firing. 5.1.6.2 Telephone Telephone service (cellular phones) to cover the entire plantation area. During this plan period, this telecommunication system will be improved and maintained by providing the workers with airtime. 5.1.6.3 Shamba allocation Attention will be given to the clear felled areas where there are many burnable materials, which can be source of fires during land preparation. 5.1.6.4 Responsibility of staff Forest staffs are immediately responsible for all fire prevention measures in the assigned ranges and they will organize and supervise fire-fighting operation. There will always be a responsible Officer on duty, a standby vehicle and driver and other staffs on duty at the plantation main office all time during the fire season. A fire roster will be prepared and maintained during fire season. Every licensee is obliged to participate in fire fighting and this is one of the conditions to obtain license. During the period of highest fire danger there will be a permanent fire fighting crew of six permanent staff at the range centres. 5.1.6.5 Entrances to different parts of the plantation (i) Ruaha river entrance into the plantation (ii) Entrance from Pangamaganga (iii) Entrance from Kimwaga mapesa (iv) Entrance from end of tarmac road from Mafinga 5.1.6.6 Burning regulations Burning in shambas will require the permission of in charge of the Range who must be satisfied that there is no risk of fire escaping before giving this permission. This officer will have to check the area if it is adjacent to plantation or if it is next to area of high fire danger. 5.1.6.7Training Improved People trained on fire fighting techniques (on-job training). The training will emphasize on:(i) The importance of fires prevention, quick and unconditional response to fire alarms. (ii) Means and methods of fire suppression. (iii) Use of fire fighting equipment and tools. (iv) Safety measures during fire fighting. 5.1.6.8 Maintenance of fire equipment Equipments to be checked just before the onset of dry season and immediately after use. After work and on weekends, vehicles to be filled up with fuel and left in good running condition. Water tanks to be filled up, with water at all the time and immediately after use. Chain saws to be checked and kept in good running order.

45 Â


5.1.6.9 Fire fighting Different fires require different fire fighting methods and tactics. The method of fighting will be decided and supervised by the fire boss in-charge but it can involve either or both of:(i) Direct attack (ii) Indirect attack Both methods involve(i) Beating up smoother (ii) Suppression by spraying with water (iii) Isolation by hoeing, ploughing or bulldozing (iv) Counter-firing, but it is unlikely that all methods be applied at once and for the same fire. 5.1.6.10 Fire patrols These will be arranged by the Foresters Assistant in charge of ranges and will cover all areas of fire danger. Forest fires outside the plantation area and in the heather land will be fought and suppressed as if they are within the plantation. 5.1.6.12 Fire report After a fire within plantation or natural forest, the Forest Manager will submit a report together with his comments to the Chief Executive TFS. The fire report will include: (i)

Forest Plantation name and date.

(ii) Location of fire (indicate compartment and sub-compartment species involved and year planted). (iii) Time of the day and of the week the fire was reported. (iv) Cause and /or the supposed causes of the fire. (v) Weather conditions of that day (e.g. cloudy, dry and sunny, strong winds, etc.) (vi) Means of reporting and when did fire crew reached scene of fire (if no exact time is known, state the approximate interval between time fire was reported and when the crew was dispatched to the (V) Arriving interval and extinguishing the fire for fire crew (vii) Number of people involved in the fire fighting operation. (viii) Type of equipment used during operation. (ix) Damage (if any) sustained to equipment and estimated cost of repair and replacement of losses. (x) Injuries sustained to personnel during the fire fighting operation. (xi) Acreage burnt and estimated cost of the damage. (xii) Estimated cost of fighting the fire and if labour was paid or free.
