EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This document describes Mtibwa forest management activities to be implemented in five years from 20132018. The last management plan which was approved covered the period from 2008 to 2013. The plantation has about 3115.6 ha of land of which 2068 ha are plantable and the remaining area is unsuitable for growing teak trees. The main species grown are Tectona grandis (95%) while Cedrella ordarata (3%), Milicia and Khaya spp (2%) as alternative species. The main objective of the management of the plantation is to produce fine hardwood timber on a sustained yield both for export and local consumption. The specific objectives are: to replant all open areas, to carry out tending operations according to silvicultural prescriptions, to undertake forest protection against human, animals, insects and pests, to carry out resource assessment and harvest due forest, to improve revenue collection and carry out administration effectively. The development of this plan is based on the 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 and data from the 2013 inventory. The age class distribution of the forest is uneven meaning that the forest is not normal, therefore the management will endeavor to regulate the forest close to normal. This will be achieved by planting and harvesting an average of 50 ha per annum. In the plan period a total of 683ha shall be planted with teak, 20.4 ha with Cedrella and 200ha with indigenous spp. In preference replanting of all open areas will start before embarking on the extension sites. All the necessary silvicultural treatments will be undertaken in order to improve the growth and health of trees. Beating up will be done whenever it is appropriate in order to ensure full stocking. The quality of trees shall be ensured by following properly the scheduled thinning. During the plan period the existing infrastructure will be renovated and improved. All buildings and staff houses shall be maintained. At present only few permanent labour force are accommodated at the station and the majority of them have personal houses at Lusanga village and Dihinda village. Two more labour quarters will be built at plantation site in order to accommodate more staff close to the forest. There will be a comprehensive road maintenance programme to rehabilitate the road systems, external firebreaks and internal firelines. Also culverts will be maintained. Maintenance of existing road network and fire lines of about 10 km will be done annually. In the plan period new road/fireline of about 11 km shall be constructed in the extension area in Lusunguru block.

There is no permanent water supply to the forest station. Water for domestic use is drawn from permanent nursery at Log yard after the installation of electric water pump. Clean water for both domestic and nursery is now available at the nursery site. In this plan period, the plan is to connect pipes to staff houses and also pump to reservoir tank near plantation Managerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quarter. ii (2013/14 - 2011/18) Â

Training shall be conducted to various manning levels depending on the needs. The current staff level is 25 expected to decrease in this plan period due to retirement. Recruitment of staff shall be done in order to replacement have adequate number of staff. Protection of the plantation and the tree crop shall be strengthened. Efforts will be made to stop illegal tree harvesting at night. Regular day and night patrols will be made and assistance from police force will be sought whenever necessary. Informers will continue to be used. Manning of forest product examination points shall be done through special unit depending on needs. Plantation boundaries and beacons shall constantly be surveyed and any encroachment shall be punished and pushed out. The plantation shall be protected against fires and other damages by implementing an integrated pest management program. A wooden fire lookout tower shall be constructed at the place where all blocks will be seen clearly. All external firebreaks and internal firelines shall be cleaned before the onset of fire season. The forest plantation management will raise awareness to the surrounding villages on fire control and prevention measures. The available information on plantation resources needs to be updated to make it accurate and adequate.. An inventory carried out in January, 2013 made it possible to know the growing stock of the plantation and was input to the preparation of this management plan. During the plan period, permanent sample plots shall be established During the plan period vehicles and plants will be maintained in order to facilitate the day-to-day administrative and management duties. In the five years management period, the aim is to harvest according to the allowable cut. The allowable cut will be made of clear-felling (99.6%) and thinning (0.34%) The total amount of revenues to be generated during the period of this plan is Tshs. 20,948,435,167 During the management plan period, the plantation will spend a total amount of Tshs 3,101,942,140 for implementing planned operations and will generate a total amount of Tshs 20,948,435,167 as revenues from clear felled compartments and other sources.

PART A 1.0 DESCRIPTION 1.1 LOCATION Mtibwa plantation is situated in Morogoro Region.It is linked by Morogoro-Handeni road. It is about 110 km from Morogoro town along the Morogoro – Dumila –Handeni road Its located in the the slopes of Nguu Mountains, in eastern side in Mvomero District. . It lies between latitude 60 -60 10’S and longitude 370 40’ -370 45’ E. It is surrounded by four villages namely: Dihinda in the North East, Lusanga in the East, Kunke in South West and Madizini in the South . There is a private airfield owned by Mtibwa sugar Estate for light aircrafts and helicopters situated just 5 km from the forest station which makes accessibility easy

1.2 BACKGROUND INFORMATION 1.2.1 History Prior to the establishment of teak plantation in the area, the area was covered by a closed lowland wet forest dominated by indigenous hardwood tree species. In 1936 Teak was introduced at Mtibwa block as a small trial plot of 8 acres, other experimental plots were established in 1954, 1955 and 1957 at Lusunguru block. Large scale planting started in 1961 at Mtibwa block where compartment number 1 having 38.6 ha was established. Planting continued annually up to 1971 when the whole block was completed. Failures which occurred were replaced by cedrella ssp. From 1972 onwards, planting was confined to Lusunguru block, with annual fluctuations caused by lack of funds. Seventeen (17) Managers headed the plantation since the plantation started (Appendix VI)

1.2.2 Legal status and ownership Mtibwa plantation is territorial forest reserve. The plantation is owned by Tanzania Forest Service (TFS). It was gazetted through Government Notice No 213 of 1944.Currently it is owned by Tanzania Forest services (TFS) under Government notice 269 of 2010. 1.3 LAND 1.3.1 Area Mtibwa forest occupies a total area of about 3115.6 ha. The plantation land is divided into two main blocks or forest reserves and these are separated by a narrow strip of public land as detailed below: Mtibwa block/ forest reserve Total area is 1023.6 ha -33% Plantable area 847.44 ha Planted area 847.44 Ha (Table1 Page5)

(2013/14 - 2011/18)

Lusunguru block/forest reserve Total area 1253.11 ha - 40% Plantable area 1253.11 ha Water logged and rocky area 986.14 ha â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 47% of Lusunguru and 31% of total FR area Planted area 771.42 ha 36% Area available for extension 510 ha - 39% of Block plantable area and 16 of plantation area Total plantation plantable area 2129.28 ha Total planted area 1618.86ha - 51% of plantaion area and 75% of plantable area 1.3.2 Topography The plantation lies approximately 640 m.a.s.l. Topographical features on the two forest blocks are not uniform. Mtibwa block is almost flat while Lusunguru block is dominated by gentle slopes and a number of low lying hills. 1.3.3 Geology and soils The plantation land is underlain by gneiss rocks (lower basement complex) which outcrops on the Lusunguru low lying hills. The soils in Lusunguru are smooth and are fairly strong compacting. They are progressively more fertile down the catena. The soils of Mtibwa block are alluvial and fertile. Also more fertile down the catena, the soils are rich in calcium and have PH of between 5 to 8, though PH 6-7 is more common throughout the plantation area. The soils in Mtibwa and Lusunguru blocks have high capacities for water retention and at the same time very poor drainage. 1.3.4 Vegetation Mtibwa block and northern western part of Lusunguru block (flanking Kirengezi river) were originally under ground water forests. The main tree species were Milicia excelsa, Khaya, Antiaris and Sterculia with an association of heavy undergrowth. All the valuable timber species were exploited. The areas of Mtibwa block were cleared of their natural vegetation for teak plantation. A greater part of Lusunguru block is covered by moist miombo woodlands. Brachystegia with dense undergrowth of grass forms a greater part of the total tree population. The vegetation in the low-lying areas of Lusunguru block gives way to Acacia woodlands. The common tree species in the area are Khaya nyasica,Albizia gummifera,Combretum schumanni, Brachystegia species, Isoberlinia globiflora, Pterocarpus angolensis and Acacia sp. 1.3.5 Biodiversity potential There is a general decrease of plants, animals and birds population in the area. This has probably been brought about by changes in their habitats (destructive) and human population. However there is a seasonal migration of birds in the area soon after long rains to feed on paddy fields. 1.3.6 Hydrology The plantation and the nearby village of Lusanga were formerly getting water from Lunkhalwa River where the flow is annual. The supply was by gravity through aluminium pipes. This was enough to meet the demands for domestic use, nursery and fire fighting. Incidentally, all the water pipes have been stolen and taken away by unknown people. The intake and the main reservoir were left untampered.

Kirengezi river which used to flow through Mtibwa and Lusunguru forest reserves throughout the year is now seasonal. Its course was diverted by M/s Mtibwa sugar estates to avoid swampy conditions especially to the south of Mtibwa Block and Madizini in general. 1.3.7 Special features and sites The plantation area has scattered swampy areas which at present are un-suitable for growing teak and cedrella. 1.4 CLIMATE 1.4.1 Rainfall The plantation experiences two rain periods in a year; the long rains are from March to May. These are followed by a long dry season lasting October. Short rains are from November to December. The average mean annual rainfall is 1200 mm. . 1.4.2 Temperatures Temperatures are high particularly in the months of January and February. Mid day temperatures vary from 28 to 33 0C 1.4.3 Wind Winds blow from South East and North East directions 1.5 GROWING STOCK 1.5.1 Growth rates. The growth Record of teak have shown to grow up to 2.54m height increment per year in the first 10 years. Lusunguru block growth vigour is slightly less. Records have shown growth of 2.0m height in the first 10 years followed by 0.3m in the 10 to 20 years of age. 1.5.2 Mean annual increment (MAI) The Mean annual increment (MAI) for Mtibwa plantation in 1986 inventory was 12.28 in the year 2000 miniinventory MAI was calculated to be 7.866m3/ha/year and 7.05543/ha/year for Mtibwa block and Lusunguru respectively. Thus average MAI (2002) was 7.5 m3/ha/year for Mtibwa Plantation.

1.5.3 Allowable cut The age class distribution of the plantation is uneven (Fig 1), which means the forest is not normal. Therefore, the objective of this plan is to try to regulate the forest to normal. The allowable cut for the plan period is given in Appendix 8. It shows total volume to of 53,901.23 m3 will be removed 1.5.4 Health and vitality The establishment of newly seed orchard at Kwengoma area aiming at tree improvement. • Avoidance of poor stock will be done by using improved material from selected plus tree from Mtibwa and Longuza forest plantation respectively. • By using tissue culture large number of planting material will be produced. 1.5.5 Stocking The growing stock is the sum by number or volume of all trees growing in a forest. The main tree species planted at Mtibwa are Tectona grandis (95%) and Cedrella ordoratta+Milicia exelsa(5%). The age class and species distribution is as shown in

Figure 1: Age class distribution for all species by area- Mtibwa plantation 2013.

1.5.6 Management units The plantation is divided into two blocks which are Mtibwa and Lusunguru blocks. The blocks are further subdivided into smaller units called ranges. Thus Mtibwa block has Mtibwa range and Lusanga range. Lusunguru block is composed of Sambai range and Dihinda range. Each range/block is subdivided into compartments eg MT1, LR3, etc. Compartments are numbered 1, 2, 3 etc 1.6 UTILIZATION 1.6.1 Markets In recent years, demand for teak particularly for export market has increased tremendously. Potential customers are private people and companies. The market absorbs big sized logs from third to fifth thinning and very rarely accepts second thinning. Main markets for forest products from Mtibwa plantation is Morogoro town, Dar es Salaam and Overseas. In addition, the plantation supplies products such as building poles, teak seeds and teak stumps to the nearby villages and regions. 1.6.2 Harvesting The sale of standing trees due for clear felling follows the procedures of Auction Selection of successful buyer is done by theAuction comitee. Small scale customers who can buy from 4m3 to 499m3 of standing timber submit their applications which are considered by the harvesting committee of the plantation. This committee consists of the following members: • Director of planning and Resource Utilization (Chairperson) • Plantation Manager- (Secretary) • Assistant Plantation Manager (Member) • Forester in charge of the area to be harvested. (Member) • Regional Forest Officer/Regional Natural Resources Adviser (Member . Disposal of forest products is done through three main ways, tender, public auction and private agreement. In the first two methods, TFS advertise through the public media (radio or newspapers). Interested buyers visit coupes to inspect and assess the stocking there-after invitation for tender or execution of auction is done. First thinning is done by the plantation staffs, forest assistants trained for tree marking and scaling under 5

(2013/14 - 2011/18)

close supervision of AFO and FO. Felling is done by experienced casual laborers. Poles from thinning are sold according to prevailing Government Notice (G.N), other thinning regime are done by customer under supervision of plantation staffs. 1.6.3 Other forest uses. Apart from saw logs and poles the forest reserve also generate some income through sales of firewood, murram, stones, and tree seeds. Seeds are collected freely by Tanzania Tree Seed Agency (TTSA). 1.7 INFRASTRUCTURE 1.7.1 Road The access road to offices of the station branch off from the Morogoro â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Handeni main road near compartment MT 1. The plantation roads were constructed to act as compartment boundaries as well as internal firelines. They run paralled to each other and finally join the Morogoro-Handeni link. The road network covering the whole plantation is about 74.8 km and they are not in good condition.

PART B 2.0 DIRECTIVES 2.1 OVERALL GOAL The overall goal of the plantation is to produce fine hardwood timber on a sustained yield both for export and local consumption. 2.2 SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES 2.2.1 Silviculture Teak will be the main timber species for planting. Due to soil differences, some areas especially those deposited with silt or water logged areas shall be planted with other species. Possible species are: (a) Cedrella ordorata for silt deposited areas (b) Eucalyptus spp. For water logged areas (c) Khaya nyasica for water logged areas (d) Milicia excelsa also alternative species. Teak will continue to be established in flying nurseries. Other species shall be raised in a permanent nursery. Water for nursery use is obtained from deep boreholes and pumped out by electrical pump. Increased production of wood shall be achieved through expansion of available land. In preference we shall start to replant all open areas before embarking on the extension sites. Land preparation will be done by clearing its natural vegetation and burning the trash. Beating up will be done whenever it is appropriate in order to ensure full stocking. All the necessary silvicultural treatments will be undertaken in order to improve the growth and health of trees. At least two weeding will be done each year while trees are still young. When ever conditions allows, Taungya system will be encouraged. The quality of trees and timber girth increments shall be ensured by following proper scheduled thinning. 2.2.2 Capital investment During the plan period the existing infrastructure will be renovated and improved. All buildings and staff houses shall be maintained. At present only few permanent labour force are accommodated at the station and the majority of them have personal houses at Lusanga and Dihinda villages.. New roads shall be aligned and constructed in the extension area before planting commence. There will be a comprehensive road maintenance programme to rehabilitate the road systems, external firebreaks and internal firelines. One vehicle 4FWD pickup and a farm tractor with logging accessories and log trailer shall be procured. The other tractor and a Gen set shall undergo routine maintenance. 2.2.3 Human Resources Training shall be conducted to various manning levels depending on their needs. The present staff strength of 25 shall be increased to 30 through new recruitments and replacements of those who retired or transferred.

(2013/14 - 2011/18)

2.2.4 Revenue Generation Increased revenue is expected to come from compartments which are going to be clearfelled, thinning and various fees from sales of services. We shall intensify proper control and accountability during revenue collection. In addition, the plantation will produce teak stumps and sell them to increase revenue but at the same time, this measure will reduce theft of stumps in our nurseries/planted areas. The total amount of revenues to be generated during the period of this plan is Tshs 20,608,439,314.48 Table 5: Allowable cut and forecasted revenues during the plan period (2013/2014-2017/2018) Year Allowable cut at standing vol.cm3 thinning clearfelling LMDA Royality Total

2.2.5 Utilization During thinning proper care to the remaining trees will be taken, by restricting the operation to permanent under supervision of Forest officer. Markets for small logs shall be created by encouraging saw mills to renovate their processing equipment to suite for small logs. Surveys for potential customers particularly building contractors in Morogoro and nearby urban centres shall be sought. 2.2.6 Protection and Conservation Protection of the plantation and the tree crop shall be strengthened. Efforts will be made to stop illegal tree harvesting at night. Regular day and night patrols will be made and assistance from police force will be sought whenever necessary. Also we shall continue using informers and villagers in neighbouring villages to protect their adjacent areas. Manning of forest product examination points shall be enhanced and further improvements will be made. Another checkpoint will be established near our central log yard for control of other forest products e.g. murram, fire wood, charcoal and poles. Plantation boundaries and beacons shall constantly be surveyed and any encroachment shall be punished and pushed out. The plantation shall be protected against fires and other damages, and a wooden fire lookout tower shall be constructed at Lusunguru block. All external firebreaks and internal firelines shall be cleaned before the onset of fire season. Monkeys have been noted to cause damage to young seedlings in the nursery and stumps in the planted areas. We shall keep a clear watch and if such damage occurs we shall seek advice of wildlife department for proper action. For soil erosion control and other conservation measures tree planting will be restricted to gentle slopes. Natural vegetation around riverbanks and hill tops shall not be cleared. 2.2.7 Resource assessment The available information on plantation resources is both inaccurate and inadequate. Some compartment areas are not accurate and others have not been included into the plantation maps. All compartments shall be resurveyed and accurate areas established. An inventory carried out in January 2013 allowed us to know the 12 (2013/14 - 2011/18) Â

PART C 3.0 PRESCRITION 3.1 SILVICULTURE 3.1.1 NURSERY OPERATIONS 3.1.1.1Species selection The choice of main species will be done by the Forest Manager on the basis of prescription of technical order recommendation. Suggestions for alternative species will be made by the FM and forwarded to the CE for approval. 3.1.1.2 Soil mixture Teak There is no standard soil mixture. The FM will select a suitable site for locating a flying nursery each year. It should have fertile soils which are well drained. The site will be ploughed and harrowed prior to seedbeds construction. Cedrella Soil mixture is 50% top forest soil and 50% cow mixture. 3.1.1.2.1 Soil ingredients as above 3.1.1.3 Seedlings raising techniques This will be governed by technical order prescription and local built up experience. 1 kg of Teak seeds produces 700 seedlings. Pre treatment of seeds is by soaking in free running water for the period of 72 hours to break their seed dormancy. Then they are broadcasted in seedbeds of 12m x 1m separated by 0.5m. 3.1.1.3.1 Pot size Black polythene tubes gauge 250 cut into inches length. 3.1.1.3.2 Sowing techniques Sowing shall be done in the month of February. The soaked seeds are broadcasted on the seedbeds at the sowing density of 4kg per 12m2 (1 karai to 1 seedbed). The seeds will be left uncovered for a period of 24 hours and thereafter covered with a layer of 2.5 cm ordinary top soil. 3.1.1.3.3 Seed germination The germination of Teak seeds is sporadic with the early seeds shooting up on the seventh to tenth day after sowing. Germination continues throughout as long as conditions for growth are available until all viable seeds germinate.

16 (2013/14 - 2011/18) Â

3.1.1.4 Nursery tending technique The Forest Management shall decide on the timing and frequency of the following activities. 3.1.1.4.1 Watering regime Watering in flying nurseries is not done but may be necessary if there are shortages of rain or prolonged drought. In such cases watering is done twice a day early in the morning and late in the evening. 3.1.1.4.2 Sanitary operation The nurseries are weeded regularly to free young teak seedlings from weed competition. The surroundings are also kept clean. A fire line is made and a strip of up to 20 metres is burnt before the onset of dry season to reduce fires risk. 3.1.1.4.3 Pricking out This is only done for Cedrella ordorata. Pricking out commence soon after appearance of second pair of leaves. This is a delicate operation and is done under shade with minimum exposure of roots. First the polythene tubes are filled with soil mixture. A hole is made at the centre. A seedling is pricked up from seedbed and inserted into the hole. The soil is leveled lightly and firmly by hand to make sure no air pockets are left. 3.1.1.4.4 Root pruning The roots growing out of polythene tubes are pruned using a sharp knife. This is done after every 3 weeks. Root pruning results in a balanced shoot-root ratio at the time of planting and creates increased mass of fibrous roots which ensures improved field survival particularly in areas of marginal rainfall. 3.1.1.4.5 Stump preparation At the time of planting out sufficient plants are left in nursery area (in situ) to form a plantation compartment at 2.5 x 2.5. The stock which remains can also provide for beating up stock for the next season (short rains). 3.1.1.5 Nursery Calendar The Forest manager will observe the following activities are undertaken within specified period (see also Appendix 4

(2013/14 - 2011/18)

3.2 PLANTING 3.2.1 Land preparation The FM will authorize commence of the following activities, where and when to do what. Mechanical land preparation shall not be applicable, due to lack of machines and equipment. 3.2.1.1 Manual land preparation The activity should commence in July soon after long rains. In the extension area, the natural vegetation will be cleared to give room to new teak crop at beginning of short rain. Taungya system will be allowed whenever possible to minimize land preparation costs. 3.2.1.2 Stake and stakes cutting Stake cutting for beating up will be carried out in the month of October and should be completed before short rains of November/December; when beating up would commence. The cost is 1,000 stakes per man day. Staking for normal planting shall start in February/March before long rains. Cost is 4mds/ha. 3.2.2 Spacing The spacing adopted is 2.5mx2.5m. This is according to technical order No.1 of 2003 for teak. 3.2.3 Pit size Planting holes should be as deep as 10cm. usually the holes are prepared by a crow bar. The stumps are inserted into the hole with an allowance of 20mm of its stem protruding above the ground. Finally it is firmly compacted to remove air pockets.

18 (2013/14 - 2011/18)

3.2.4 Timing Planting out is done soon after the beginning of long rains when the soil have attained enough moisture, usually in mid March. 3.2.5 Planting Stock Size The right size for planting is reached when the root collar thickness is 20mm and of planting stock is 12.5cm long. 3.2.6 Survival assessment Survival assessment is done at least six months after planting. The survival of 80% and above indicates satisfactory stocking. Beating up is effected when the survival assessment is below 80% but above 50%. When survival assessment is 50% and below the whole area (compartment) is replanted. 3.3 TENDING OPERATIONS These are initiated by the Forest Manager in accordance to T.O No 1 of 2003 for Teak, Field experience and prevailing condition. 3.3.1 Weeding. The newly established compartments receive complete weeding during the first two years and thereafter sanitary slashing and climber cutting is done once in a year. 3.3.1.1 Timing. This is done at least 2 weeks before long rains and end of short rains. 3.3.1.2 Frequency Weeding is done four times in a year for the first 2 years and if the area is under Taungya, two weeding in a year are enough. Climber cutting and sanitary slashing is done once in a year. 3.3.1.3Types Complete weeding (clean weeding) is applied. 3.3.1.4 Method Manual weeding by using hand hoe. Task 20mds/ha. 3.3.2 Pruning Teak trees are self pruning. Only climber cutting and brush cleaning is done occasionally double ladders are taken out. 3.3.2 Thinning Thinning will follow technical order number 1 of 2003. For older stands which were established with an initial spacing of 2.5 x 2.5 m, thinning will follow technical order No. 1 of 2003 Annex B. For older stands there are four thinning regimes, which are first, second, third, and fourth . The second, 3rd, and 4th thinnings are commercial. Clear felling will be at the age of 40-60 years. The thinnings will be done manually. Selective thinning will be applied for all thinning regimes . The inferior and suppressed phenotypes are selectively 19

(2013/14 - 2011/18)

marked and felled according to the thinning schedule. (Appendix 16). For young stands established after 2003, there are three thinning regimes which are 1st, 2nd and 3rd at 5, 10 and 15 years respectively Appendix 15. 3.3.2.1 Timing The operation can be done throughout the year except during long rains of March â&#x20AC;&#x201C; May 3.3.2.2 Thinning frequency Thinning will start at the end of the 4th year following at an interval of 5 years as follows; Table 9: Thinning schedule for Teak stands Operation

3.3.2.3 Thinning method The operation is semi mechanized. Felling and delimbing is done by manual labor using axes, crosscutting is done by chainsaws and terrain transport (skidding) is done by farm tractors. Tasks Felling 20-25 trees/crew (2mds) crosscutting to produce 100 logs/day (chain operator) skidding 100 logs/day (tractor operator +3chockermen) 3.3.2.4 Thinning types Selective thinning is adopted for all thinning regimes. The worst trees are removed systematically leaving the best trees for final crop. 3.3.2.5 Thinning assessment A tree to be removed will be judged in terms of: - i) its quality (form, growth) ii) spacing factor iii) diseased or abnormality 20 (2013/14 - 2011/18) Â

The standing stock is assessed to establish the number of stems per hectare present in a particular compartment. Trees to be removed are marked on the basis of the standard thinning regime and the current stock (SPH) established as above i.e. If the current stocking has more trees than the standard (final stock) the extra trees are removed. If stocking is equal or less, none is removed. Marking for thinning is carried out by the department inventory section. For a mixed stand (e.g. teak and Cedrella ordorata) cedrella or other species shall be removed in favour of teak. 3.4 CAPITAL INVESTMENTS 3.4.1 Roads 3.4.1.1 Construction This represents a substantial investment in terms of capital and also involves continuing charge for maintenance.

It was found to be suitable for human consumption and also for nursery use (PH 6.5-7.5). The quantity of the underground water after drilling is expected to suffice the needs of the community around. 3.5 HUMAN RESOURCES 3.5.1 Human resource development 3.5.1.1 Training Plan This shall be initiated by the Forest Manager and sent to the Chief Executive of TFS where it will be incorporated with those from other plantations. 3.5.1.2 Recruitment New recruitment will be done by the Chief Executive following recommendations from Forest Manager and available vacancies in the civil service for a respective cadre. 3.5.1.3 Manning levels The various manning levels within the plantation will be arranged and coordinated by the Forest Manager and his management team.

(2013/14 - 2011/18)

3.6 REVENUE GENERATION 3.6.1 Source of revenue The source of revenue will be from sale of round logs (thinning and clearfelling), poles, firewood, forest seeds (cedrella and teak), murram, stones and sand. 3.6.2 Control of revenue collection The Forest Manager will conduct regular training for personnel who are involved in revenue collection, timber measurements, grading, billing and timber auctioning. Regular checking and monitoring of field measurements will be done to ensure that correct records are taken and recorded in the appropriate books e.g. felling licenses, receipt books and transit passes. The daily collections must be promptly acknowledged through proper ERVs and banked. A convenient place for examination and checking of forest products passing through will be established and maintained in both exist. The purpose is to monitor the movement of forest products passing through the area, whether they are legal and are covered by proper movement order (Transit Pass) and serve for future records. 3.7 UTILIZATION 3.7.1 Harvesting plans A schedule of areas available for wood procurement for the period of 1 to 5 years will be prepared by the Forest Manager. 3.7.1.1 Clear felling In the plan period 321 ha will be clear felled.

3.7.1.2 Thinning All first thinning at the age of 5 will be given priority. This will be followed by third, fourth and fifth thinnings on the criteria of number of stems per hectare and whether they are delayed or not. 3.7.2 Sales 3.7.2.1 Pricing for sales The Director of Forestry and Beekeeping will evaluate and recommend the price of forest products and non wood products available in the area. Actually the price is based on royalty rates, logging fees and silvicultural/ road maintenance fees. 24 (2013/14 - 2011/18) Â

3.7.2.2 Methods of sales Timber from clearfellings will be sold at standing volume. The volume will be stablished by tariff system. Timber from thinning will be sold by volume system (assortments). However, the procedure is to sell timber from both clearfelling and thinning through public Auction or Tender. The Director of Forestry and Beekeeping will assist in the advertisement, processing (evaluation) and award of winner. 3.7.2.3 Markets There is good market for big sized logs. Small logs from first thinning have no markets within the plantation area. The forest manager will look for markets outside the area in particular to big rural centres like Mvomero, Gairo, Dakawa and Kibaigwa. 3.8 PROTECTION AND CONSERVATION 3.8.1 Prevention 3.8.1.1 Fireline The plantation fireline maintenance plan is 500km attached as an appendix 12. 3.8.1.2 Control Plan for diseases and pests There have been no recorded incidences of disease or insect pest attack in the plantation area. If occurs remedial measures will be taken instantly. Currently Management is observing preventive measures through health, vigor forestry practices. 3.9 RESOURCE ASSESSMENT 3.9.1 Timing The forest manager will request from the TFS headquarters for availability of both survey and Inventory crews. The best convenient time is just before thinning/ clearfelling operation commence. 3.9.2 Methodology Survey and Inventory section has well trained crews stationed at TFS headquarters. These are trained on various methods depending on the use for which the (data) results are intended. 3.10 ORGANIZATION The organization structure is shown in the Appendix 3

FIRE PLAN

INRODUCTION Mtibwa teak plantation is located in an area which is frequently open to forest fires. This is due to the nature of the vegetation, cultural and farming practices adopted in the area. 2. FIRE PREVENTION The common sources of fires are: a) Hunters – They start fires by burning bushes and dry vegetation to drive off wild animals from their hiding places. b) People traveling in buses, Lorries, bicycles etc throw smoldering cigarette pieces along the roadsides. These may later ignite forest fire. c) Farmers – they use fires during preparation of their farms. When left uncontrolled such fires may develop into destructive. d) Arson – These are people who start fires deliberately or with grudges. e) Grazers – They start wild fires at far distances to promote good pastures for their animals. Such fires may later spread into our plantation. f) Small sugarcane growers – they use fires when harvesting their sugarcane. If such fires are not controlled, may later spread and jump into our plantation. 2.1 FIRE DANGER PERIOD The critical fire season is from July to November and January to March For the purpose of eliminating/ reducing the occurrence of fires the following deliberate measures will be adopted each year before the onset of dry season. Prevention activities shall commence on 1st July, each year. 2.1.2 Identification of High and low Fire hazard areas. High fire risk areas are those adjacent to high human activities e.g. farming, hunting, honey collectors etc. which includes the eastern side of our plantation in particular Lusunguru block are more open to fire due to the nature of vegetation (tall grass) and prevailing winds. 2.2.1 Fire protection measures (permanent measures Fire protection measures will involve the following activities: a) Maintenance of external firebreaks This will be kept clean. Manual screefing of both sides of firebreaks should be done at 20md/km and the strip between shall be burnt (early) before the surrounding area is dry. b) Maintenance of firelines/plantation roads These shall be maintained clean. Roadside slashing 6-10 m width by manual labour at 10 mds/km. c) Training All employed personnel must be trained on how to fight fires. Forest officers should from time to time try to educate the people of neighbouring villages on the value of forests to themselves and to the nation. Such education should be delivered through political meetings, village meetings, school and other gatherings. d) Public relations – Good public relations between the public and forest officials is necessary. This is where recruitment of auxiliary forces for fighting fires is obtained.

38 (2013/14 - 2011/18)

3. FIRE DETECTION This is very effective under proper provisions of fire lookouts, communication systems, ground patrols and patrol vehicles. 3.1 LOOKOUT POINTS Two fire towers one for Mtibwa and the second for Lusunguru block are needed. Their function is to detect smoke and relay information to the main office. At present there is only one look out point near the forest manager’s house. It screens all compartments in Mtibwa block, but those of Lusunguru are beyond its reach. 3.2 Communication system There is a radio call facility, which need to be strengthened by increasing the number of units to improve communication with the central unit. Telephone service providers i.e. Vodacom, airtel and Tigo cover some of the plantation area. During this plan period, this telecommunication system (cellular phones) will be utilised by providing the users with airtime. Reporting of fire will be much faster than in the previous years when there was no telecommunication system. 3.3 Patrols During fire season (July –November) a group of casual labourers are employed to patrol along high fire hazard areas on foot or by bicycles. They report fire incidences which are within and outside plantation area but threatening the forest plantation area. Other patrols are conducted by vehicles, including those done during the night. 4.0 FIRE SUPPRESSION During the fire danger period there must always be a standby crew on alert. The necessary fire fighting tools shall be made available and in good condition. 4.1 Standby crew These are formed of Forest officers, Forest Assistants and drivers present in the plantation. Each standby crew will be made of 6 people and they will work on a roaster basis. The officer will coordinate and supervise the crew under their charge. The crews shall be trained on various methods of fighting fire.

4.2 Chain of command Fire fighters will receive commands or orders and report to their crew leader. The crew leader will instruct his crew on what tools and what method to use at the time of fighting fire. If the initial attack is not effective the crew leader will seek assistance from the nearest village. If it is still inadequate the crew leader will report to 39

(2013/14 - 2011/18)

the Forest Manager who will jointly consult other village leaders and government officials in the area to assist in putting the fire out. 4.3 Tools and equipment Fire fighting tools will include the following: 1. Matchet (Panga) 2. Hoes 3. Fire rakes 4. Back packs water pumps 5. Back firing torches 6. Watering cans 7. Fire beaters 8. Water pump with suction and discharge hose 9. Siren (mobile) 10. Binoculars pair Vehicles 1 Land cruiser (4Wd vehicle) 1 Lorry 1 tractor with water bowser or with a trailer Others 1 siren to alert people Maps

4.4 Water supply There should be ample water supplies for fire fighting. Two reservoir tanks (sim tanks) each of 1000 litres will be filled with water for the purpose. 5.0 MOPPING UP This shall start soon after the fire is contained. The crews must not leave the area until when fire is dead and declared so by the officer in charge. During this operation water is essential. The crew leader will be the last person to leave the scene after assessing the following:i. Extent of damage caused ii. Causes of fire iii. Cost of putting the fire out iv. At the office, the crew leader will make a report by using relevant forms. This together with other information is sent to the Director of Forestry and Beekeeping within 48 hours. 6.0 INSPECTION REPORT People are organised along the periphery and within the burnt area to inspect signs for fires, which may resurface again. Patrols will carry hand tools and will be moving within a calling distance until the area is safe.
