ABSTRACT This plan describes the management objectives of Shume Forest plantation for the period of five years from 2013/2014 to 2017/2018. In the past there was a management plan which was in use and approved by the Director of Forestry and Beekeeping. The overall goal of the Shume forest plantation is to ensure sustainable supply of forest products and services to the forest based industries and community as a whole. This will be achieved by replanting the harvested areas, carry out proper tending operations, protect the forest from wild fires, carry out resource assessment and protect the forest soil, illegal harvesting, and monkey damage. 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. The age class distribution of the plantation is almost even meaning that the forest is nearly to normal. Therefore the objective of this plan is to regulate the forest close to normal. In order to arrive at a normal forest, average harvesting should be equally to the average planting for softwood species effective next plan period. There are several capital investments such as procurement of vehicles and plants. The aim of the management is to maintain the existing facilities to accommodate the existing staff and facilitate the day to day administrative and management duties. To develop human resource capacities, the forest plantation is aiming at giving short courses and tours to the staff. In the five years management period, the aim is to undertake pruning and thinning according to the prescribed schedules. The plantation management will protect and conserve forest plantation from fires, insects, fungi, encroachment, human and animal damages. The plantation management will raise awareness to the surrounding villages on establishing their nurseries, fire control and prevention. Patrols will be intensified to detect and control any damage to the plantation. The plantation management will also carry out a resurvey and mapping, compartimatation of the forest plantation in collaboration with the Survey and Inventory Unit of the TFS in order to update compartment boundaries and maps.

The research plots established by TAFORI and SUA which are located within the project area are not properly maintained to be able to generate the required information, During this plan period the plantation management will work closely with TAFORI and SUA to make sure the established research plots are well maintained and to monitor crop growth, quality and yield. Data for this plan was collected by the Forest Inventory Section in collaboration with Shume Forest Management. Field work took place in November, 2012 the data provides information for determination of standing and allowable cut volume. The allowable cut obtained was 30,809 m³ and standing volume was 154,045 m³.The age distribution of the plantation is uneven. Inorder to regulate the forest normal 30,809 m³ per year will be harvested. At present, the demand for wood products from the forest plantation is higher as compared to allowable cut. The demand is more than 80,000 m3 per year while supply is 30,809 m3. The average CAI of the plantation is 9 m3/ha. Most of the customers coming from Lushoto and Korogwe.The main tree species planted in the plantation include; Pinus patula, Cupressus lusitanica, Grevillea robusta, Accacia melanoxylone, Accacia mearnsii, Juniperus procera and Eucalyptus spp. The total area of the plantation is 4303.61 ha

INTRODUCTION This management plan is a framework document detailed actions to be undertaken to reach and achieve specified goals and objectives.The forest policy recognise forest management plans as important instruments to ensure sustainable forest management. An inventory that was conducted during November 2012 by the TFS inventory team has given reliable source of data for compilation of this management draft plan. This plan draft is expected to be valid for five years as from 1st July 2013 to 30th June 2018. The plan contains four main section namely Descriptive, Directives, Prescription and appendices. The management draft plan is expected to be the basic of all activities and budget during a period of its implementation. The annual work plans and the performance budgets are expected to reflect the management plan. The plan is however flexible in the sense that it will need to be revised whenever necessary in order to meet the expected objectives and goals. In this plantation there are introduction of new species such Grevillea robusta, Acrocarpus fraxinifolius was done to reduce the effects of monoculture following the outbreak of Cinara cupressi aphids and which threatened to wipe out Cuppressus lusitanica tree species which was the major species grown in West Kilimanjaro Forest Plantation in the first rotation. Major species planted are Pinus patula and Cupressus lusitanica. On implementation of this Management Plan the Forest Manager shall observe the following: 1. Read and understand clearly the contents of the plan. 2. Carefully make use of the forestry resources i.e land, trees, labour, capital (funds, tools,machines,equipments) in the right time so as to obtain maximum achievement of objectives as stipulated herein. 3. Choose the shortest effective and economical methods to achieve maximum targets stipulated in this set up. 4. Should be prepared to take risks in order to achieve something. 5. Ensure that the best returns (revenue or production) against all marketable resources or products are reached. 6. Organize 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.

DESCRIPTIO N OF THE PLANTATION

1.1

Location

The Shume Forest plantation is located in the Western part of Usambara Mountains in Lushoto District, Tanga Region. 1.1.1 Position

The Shume forest plantation appears on the map that was prepared by the University of HelsinkiFinland, department of forest mensuration and management in 1986 and is available in the office. Also some latest photo mosaic, on the scale of 1:10000 is available in the office. The plantation is divided into four major plantation blocks, includes Shume West, Shume East, Shagayu, Magamba blocks. Magamba block is located about 10km North of Lushoto township and Shume Block (Gologolo), 27km North of Lushoto township along Magamba –Gologolo road between 4042’S and 38015’E. Shagayu Block is situated about 25km from Shume –Gologolo at 4033’S and 38015’E. 1.1.2 Accessibility

The main access to the plantation is from Tanga –Moshi main road. The distance from Tanga to Shume forest plantation can be reached by continuing the road via the so-called Grewal Sawmill (17.6km) from Lushoto township) to Gologolo, where the forest office and one nursery tree are situated. A loop road provided the main access within Shume Block to the West, via Shume old station to Manolo village and East via Viti village, then turning West to Manolo again. By continuing the road from Manolo village, Shagayu block can be reached, some 52.8 km from Lushoto Township on the Northward direction (See Appendix 7).

1.2

HISTORY AND PROGRESS OF THE PLANTATION

1.2.1 History

The Germans felled trees from natural forest in Shume block, their aim was to exploit wood from the natural forests and later, little planting was done in 1900,s. No further planting took place until after the First World War, when the British administration was in power.

Planting of Cedar started again in 1922 with some annual fluctuation until 1930’s when other softwood 18


species were introduced. The new species were Cupressus lustanica, Pinus patula and Pinus radita. Most of the plantations were established by the method of licensed cultivation on cleared natural forests. People were issued with temporary permits to reside and farm in forest reserves and in turn they offered their labour force for various forest activities, including forest establishment and protection. Later as the plantation matured, they were clear felled and people were allowed plots to cultivate food crops, along side with young trees. This is known as Taungya system. Forest Division by that time never incurred costs for land preparation and weeding on large scale. Plantations in Shagayu block were started in 1956 with cypress and some hardwood trials. 1.2.2

Legal status and ownership

The Government of Tanzania owns the plantations. The area and boundaries of this reserve are defined in the Government notice No. 417 of 6th September 1963. The Shagayu Block occupies part of Western part of Shagayu forest reserve, which is a legal constituted central Government forest reserve. The area and boundaries are shown in the forest ordinance and on map JB517. 1.2.3

Progress of the Plantation for the last Management Plan

The performance of the forest plantation for the last five years was good. However, the performance was affected by various challages which include; inadequate forest staff to execute forest operations according to the APOs; obsolete and inadequate vehicles and machines (plants) for different operations; very high running and maintenance costs of old vehicles and machines; delay or failure to get trees seeds from Tree Seed Agency (TTSA); This has hindered the management to undertake most of the forest operations including road maintenance, patrol and general administration tasks and productivity of tree nurseries. The summary of performance of the plantation is shown in Tables 1, 2 and 3 below. Table 1: Seedlings raised and areas planted Targets of Seedlings raised

1.3.2 Topography

The topography of this land is undulating. A large part of land in Shume and Shagayu range lies between 1967 and 1970 m.a.s.l. At Magamba, the altitude varies between 1650 and 1960 m.a.s.l. The land drops away sharply in the West of Shume on the edge of West Usambara scarp. At Shagayu the land drops away to the east up to the Umba steppe. Sungwi peak dominates the Shume and Magamba area, rising to about 2120 m.a.s.l. The Shagayu peak is the highest in the Shagayu area, being 2090 m.a.s.l. Slopes are steep to gentle undulating and at their base they form narrow flat valleys. The steep slopes are cut by numerous gullies, some of which carry permanent streams but others carry water only during wet season. 1.3.3 Geology and soils

The geology consists of complex series of ancient metamorphic rocks assigned to the Usambara system of the Precambrian. The rocks types may be described textually as graisses and are often intruded by quartsite veins. Due to complex fold movements which have affected the rocks, much repetition of outcrop occurs although the rock sequence tends to be rather uniform. The soils are mainly loams varying in colour from red through gray brown to black. They are rich in minerals like Iron, magnesium and manganese. They have varying amounts of sand and are inclined to be difficult on roads when wet. They are resistant to erosion under moderate conditions, but if heavily worked under open cultivation they become highly erodable. In the wetter areas there is normally an accumulation of dark humus in top soil with pH values of 3.0 to 3.5. The camphor forest areas have acid soil reaction. In the drier areas particularly in the cedar forest, the humus layer is absent and soils are red, deep, and uniform. The soils have developed from reddish to reddish brown, rich soils from the first weathering process to lighter coloured yellowish white nodular soils due to chemical weathering. 1.3.4 Vegetation

The vegetation of the area prior to clearing and planting of trees were generally of two main types: a) CAMPHOR PODO TYPE (Montane rain forest) The southern portion of Shume, Sungwi, Hambalawei and Shagayu were under this type of vegetation. It is described as sparce Camphor (Ocotea usambarensis) with some Podo (Podocarpus usambarensis and Podocurpus pensiculy) and dense undergrowth of Lansthus cirumilee and other shrubs. Other species associated with it include Ficalhoa, Pygium, Rapanea, Fagaropsis and Cassipourea spp. b) CEDAR FOREST TYPE (Montane Dry Forest) The Northern and Western portions of Shume area were under this type of vegetation. It is 22


described as mainly cedar (Juniperus procera) with a thick shrub understorey. Thickets consisting Fuclea, Teclea and Catha, again with thick undergrowth are intermitted with cedar type. 1.3.5 Biodiversity

Varieties of plant and animal species exist in areas close and within Shume Forest plantation. These include varieties of birds (owls, swifts,vipanga, mwewe, kware, etc), insects (butterflies, ants, beetles, millipedes and centipedes, etc), reptile (chameleons, lizards, snakes) and animal like warthogs, hares,colubus monkeys, baboons, rock rabbits, ballons,etc. Several plant species exist also, including indigenous tree species such as Podo, Cedar and Camphor. Other plants include a wide range of grasses, herbs and shrubs. 1.3.6 Hydrology

Within the plantation area there are both annual and perennial streams. The Shume Block forms part of the Mkusu watershed that drains into the Mkomazi River and part of the scarp watershed which also drains into Mkomazi River on the plains below. Some perennial streams at Shagayu form parts of the watershed for the Umba River to the East and the Ruvu River to the West. There are also many other streams, which flows from the Forest Reserve to the low land areas, forming rivers that pour water to the Indian Ocean. 1.3.7

Special features and sites

There are few sites /features within and around the plantation area, which may be considered for recreation purposes, as well as tourists’ attraction. A site known as “Jiwe la Mungu” which is situated within Shume Block and a viewpoint nearby are among special sites, whereby a wide area below the cliff can be viewed. A skyline from Sungwi (upper landing) to Mkumbara (lower landing) is also regarded as a special feature in the area. Tembo Chipboards Company has designed it for carrying harvested logs, and it covers a distance of about 1-km.

1.4

Climate

The area enjoys a healthy, temperate climate, which for several months of the year it is positively cold. 1.4.1 Mean rainfall

The average rainfall in the southern portion of Shume, Shagayu and Magamba is about 700 mm per annum, whereas the northern portion of Shume range has an average rainfall between 630-750mm per annum. This is a rain shadow area, according to the schedule of the rainfull in our areas planting operations lies between November-march. 23


See rainfall data from 2012 to 2013

Figure 1: Average monthly rainfall from 2012-2013 Shume forest Plantation

1.4.2 Rainfall distribution and reliability

There are two distinct rain seasons in the plantation area: Long rains from mid March to May and short rains from November to December. Minor and unreliable season, the “Mlwati�, occurs in August/September. The rainy periods at Shagayu are not as marked as those of Shume range. They sometimes persist from November to April. During the months of June to September, it is normally dry and cold throughout the plantation area. Northern portion of Shume block with an average rainfall of between 630-750mm per annual is a rain shadow area. 1.4.3 Temperature

During the coldest months (May-August) the average mean temperature is 70C, while the hottest months of September to April the average mean temperature varies from 70C to 260C. 1.4.4

Humidity

In the drier but colder areas of Sungwi and Shume/Magamba, which still retain considerable forest cover, there is more favourable moisture status as rates of evaporation are low.

24


1.4.5

Wind

The prevailing winds blow from South to East during April- October and in November to March they blow from North to East. Heavy mists occur in June and July and often frost occurs in valleys.

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 The forest inventory field work started in November 2012 with 64 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). Main tree species planted are (mainly P.patula) Cypress (C.lusitanica) Acacia mearnsii Mixed softwoods Grevillea robusta Eucalyptus spp Camphor A.melanoxylon and others including natural forest With the introduction of Logging Miscellaneous Deposit Account (LMDA), in 2000, large part of open areas has been planted during the last plan period. Despite of additional open areas that were formerly under Magamba Catchment Forest, the current trend of replanting reflects some normality of the plantation. The age class and species distribution is still uneven. Silvicultural operations continued to be undertaken and this gives some indication of improvement of many growth rates and timber volumes. Shume Forest Plantation has a total standing volume of 154,000m3. However, a large volume which constitutes 49% (Table 5) lies between the age of 11 and 15 years. This implies that large volume of the plantation is at middle age class. Table 5: Standing volume by age class Age (yrs)

1.5.2

Growth rates and Rotation

During this plan period 154,045m³ is predicted to be harvested from softwoods.Rotation is a certain repeated life span of stands from establishment to clearfelling. Ideal rotation is the stand between establishment of the stand and culmination of MAI. It will provide the highest possible yield of an area. For a long time very simplified rotation schedule of 25 years for both pine and cypress has been practiced in all site classes, for planning purposes since 1980 certain growth and yield studies on Cupressus lusitanica in Kenya (mathu and Philip 1979) found a very flat culmination of MAI at 22 – 25 years of age. Shortening the rotation to 20 years or prolonging it to 30 years would furthermore not change MAI much. In our case the rotation age for our plantation will be 22 years. 1.5.3 Allowable cut

There is a severe loss of production due to unevenness of the age class distribution and also due to vast open areas that were not replanted after clearfelling in the past years. Currently the annual allowable cut is 30,809m3 mainly comprised of softwoods, P.patula and C.lustanica (Appendix 5, Form .4). 1.5.4 Health and vitality

During the end of last plan period, dieback of cypress has dramatically reduced. Hopefully the aphid attack is phasing out, although this has yet been studied. Pines (P.patula and few P.radiata) continued to grow well, despite mortality of some P.patula trees in some compartments this is due to hard pan in most areas of our plantation. Monkey damage especially in cypress stands is severe. The trees are stripped or break the shoots making trees susceptible to fungal attack and other pathogenic infections. Emphasis has been done to protect the forest through participatory approaches to the nearest local community (Gologolo, Mavumo and Nywelo villages). Windfalls are common and mainly affect the shallow rooted Cypress. Cypress is more susceptible than pines. The climate in the area is favourable for tree growth. Drought in the area is not common, but some stands in Shume block face long dry periods with less rainfall. 1.5.5

Stocking

Due to efforts done in tending operations including timely thinning the stocking in the plantation is turning towards an even stock and age class distribution. However some compartments are understocked especial in magamba block.

31


1.5.6

Management Units

The plantation is broken into units called compartments (physically defined areas, by physical or artificial boundaries, separated either by ridges, valleys, public/forest roads and / or watercourses). Plantable area of the whole plantation is divided into compartments of various sizes (Appendix 5, Form.2).

1.6

Utilization

Existence of large area of bare land that was not replanted after the final felling during the past few years has resulted into a severe loss of production. The consequence has been disappearance of the potential for sustainable utilization of the plantation in the long term. 1.6.1 Markets

The demand for sawn timber at present is extremely high in the region while the supply is low. TCB and Saw miller’s demand of sawlogs is very high compared with supply of sawlogs from the plantation (Appendix 5, Form.6). Number of customers for softwood (Pines and Cypress) has been increased yearly. It also shows that most of sawn timber is transported out of the District, places like Tanga, Moshi, Arusha, Morogoro, Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar. Most of wood is used for construction purposes and for furniture making. 1.6.2 Harvesting

Harvesting is done by clearfelling of mature stands and thinning of young stands. Harvesting should follow the Management Plan, which will earmark compartments to be clear felled as well as those to be thinned in addition to other silvicultural activities required, the plantation staff identifies felling areas, measure and record volumes to be removed, prepare felling coupes and prepare bills. Customers are obliged to pay for felling license and settle their bills before actual harvesting. Mostly of the equipment used by our customers during harvesting is chain saw. The logging system used by customers at Shume forest is short wood system. Skidding is done mostly manually. The plantation staff has the responsibility to ensure that harvesting is carried out properly and wasteful practices avoided. Prices for tree products are determined in accordance with prevailing rules. (Appendix 3). 1.6.3

Other forest users

Besides TCB and saw millers who are the main customers of the plantation, other forest users include the adjacent communities (villagers) who depend on the forest for fire wood, building poles; also in our plantation we practice Tangya system according to by-laws, folder for sheep, goats and cattle as well as sources of water for domestic uses and irrigation. Villagers do use chemicals to protect their crops but that chemicals are not harmful to our trees.

32


1.7 PROTECTION AND CONSERVATION 1.7.1. Forest Fires

Forest fire incidences have been minimal and not pronounced to cause alarm in Shume plantation. However, fire lines are present in all compartments with full maintenance. 1.7.2. Pests and Diseases

The only known disease at Shume Forest Plantation is, yellowing and drying caused by environmental stress which causes exudates and resulted to poor growth

1.8 Capital investments 1.8.1

Roads

The present road density at Shume and Magamba is 20 km per 40 hectares and at Shagayu is 25 km per 40 hectares. The total length of existing roads in the plantation (forest roads) is 210 km. No new roads would be constructed. 1.8.2 Buildings

1.8.4 Communication facility

The administrative center at Gologolo was once linked with telephone extension line from Lushoto via Magamba. However, the telephone is not operating this is due to absence of network, currently we have two fire towers which allocated at high altitude such a way we can detect fire easier, The post office is situated 27.2 km away from the station. 1.8.5 Water supplies

The two plantation blocks have permanent water supply from the stream sources with piped water for the station, domestic use, and nurseries. The capacity of water source to discharge water is 49500 litres per day for Gologolo village. Water is stored in a plastic reservoir tank near forest Manager’s house and discharged by gravity to residential. Hambalawei’s station is supplied from a dam by pipeline for the nursery and from the main line to the station. Shagayu draws water for the station from Mihoshai stream. Small dams have been constructed on some perennial streams for fire fighting. Magamba takes water from one stream close to the office. The station intake is 1 km from the station. The intake supplies water for both domestic and nursery uses.

1.9

Administration

1.9.1 Organization

A forest Manager who is directly answerable to the Chief Executive Officer, administers the plantation. Three Assistant Forest Managers assisting him.The plantation is divided into four main blocks. Forest assistant, Diploma/certificate holder, administers of those blocks. The blocks are further subdivided into smaller units called Ranges, for field administration. These are Shume, Sungwi, Kwekanda, under Shume west Block; gologolo, hambalawei under shume east Bokoboko, Sunga and Mbaramo under Shagayu block; Kibohelo, Kwemonko, Mkusu, Kifungilo and Malimbwi under Magamba block. There is insufficient number of workers in the plantation, Organization chart has been summarized in appendix 3. Main activities taking place in the plantations are seedling production, planting, tending operations (silvicultural activities), fire protection, harvesting of forest products, revenue collection and maintenance of roads, bridges and buildings. Each of these sections is under respective heads of sections. 1.8.2 Manning levels

The present staff strength and cadres is shown in Table 6. There are two categories of labour employed in the plantation. First the skilled labourers, employed on permanent terms in various jobs. The second category is the daily paid labourers, who are employed in various forest activities (silvicultural, logging, roads and protection operations subject to the requirements and funds availability.

1.10 SOCIAL SERVICES 1.10.1 Education

There is a primary school and secondary school nearby forest station which is out of the management of the plantation. Also the plantation creating awereness on the benefit of forest.

36


1.10.2 Health

There is a dispensary (Gologolo dispensary) currently run by Lushoto District Council. MCHC (Mother & Child Health Care) services are also being provided at the dispensary. The available health services does not meet the demand of the workers and entire villages because of deficient of workers, equipments and medicine. 1.10.3 Religion

There are two Mosques nearby for Muslims, Two churches under Roman Catholic Church and another one under Lutheran Church. Also certan believers use the available social hall for worshipping. 1.10.4 Power Supply

Formally Gologolo forest station was supplied with electricity by a diesel engine generator set (Dale Engine) that has recently been grounded nowadays is not yet running, we request fund for installation of electricity. Magamba forest station is supplied with electricity from the National Grid under TANESCO. Shagayu forest station has no electricity power supply. 1.10.5 Entertainment

There is Welfare Social Hall but no any indoor games that is going on, but there are belivers use the hall for washiping.

1.10.6 Shopping facilities

There are various shops and “viosks� with variety of goods, together with two butcheries and few tearooms nearby.

1.11 Social economic aspect 1.11.1 Land uses

Main land uses are agriculture, forestry and beekeeping. A number of villages have livestock (mainly sheep and cow) and are encouraged to keep their animal indoors (zero grazing).Grazing is now not a serious ploblems because they applied zero grazing in their homested. 1.11.2 Economic activities

The people living in and around the plantation are of different tribes, with majority belonging to Sambaa tribe. They survive through cultivation of cash crops (Irish potatoes, vegetables) and some maintain beehives in the Natural forest. Others depend upon jobs in town and in sawmills. Livestock is widely owned, but constrained in access to grazing land.

37


1.11.3 Social economic impact

Peoples’ main problem is related to land shortage and weakened physical support environment for their water, climate, soil and natural product conservation. As quality of the forest has diminished the people hope for secure and legitimate access to the forest. Over a long time people have been anticipating that if they prove themselves good partners in forest management, their role and responsibility in management will increase and directly benefit accordingly.

1.12 Research 1.12.1 Past research (within the past five years)

No new research activities in the plantation 1.12.2 .On going research

Currently there are various research activities in the plantation which are carried out by Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA) and Tanzania Forestry Research Institute (TAFORI). SUA is carrying out research works at 8 plots. Description on objective of these research works is given in appendix 6. It should be noted that some of those experimental plots especially those under TAFORI can not be traced on the existing maps, neither on the ground.

1.12.3 Constraints and opportunities The condition of the plantation and plantation management has been similarly good over the past few years. However, with the availability of LMDA funds during the past plan period, comparatively vast areas of the plantation has been replanted and tended. The age class and species distribution is still uneven, although there is a trend towards normality. Equipment and transport facilities have fallen to inadequate levels, and existing ones are in poor condition. There has been lack of transparence in plots allocation for farming in plantation open areas, despite of this task (of allocating the plots) being assigned to the Joint Forest Management Committee under JFM. Today people around the plantation are facing secure situation with respect to the forest resources that surround them. They see the value of plantations and job opportunities in local sawmills. They see no illegal harvesting, fires and destruction of both plantation and natural forest. With the above opportunities (probably) the Government and the people around the forest reserves can develop a workable and effective partnership in forest management

DIRECTIVES

2.1

Overall goal

The overall goal of the plantation is wood production and conservation of natural resources and environment in general. 2.1.1 Wood production

The objectives in wood production are: a) To sustain the yield of wood resources in perpetuity by producing enough and sound seedling for replanting and to protect the stands against diseases, insect pests, fire and animals. b) To utilize the wood resources as they become available in a regulated and economical manner. c) To create employment opportunities for rural population neighbouring the plantation. 2.1.2 Conservation

The objectives in conservation are: a) To maintain efficiently the total area currently under plantations and that part of the natural forest at Mlomboza Hill so as they act as water catchment and provide good water shed for the streams and rivers which emanates from them. b) To involve local communities live adjacent to the forest plantation in the management and protection of respective forest areas falling within their village boundaries. c) To preserve the biodiversity values within the forest estate.

2.2 Specific objective 2.2.1 Silviculture

a) To rehabilitate the plantation open areas by replanting 63.9 ha. b) Sustainable management of 4303.61 ha of plantation by proper weeding and other tending operations. 2.2.2 Capital investment

¡ 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 maintain the whole length of existing forest roads to allow smooth execution of forest operations. 2.2.3 Human resources

a) To ensure smooth running of personnel and administration matters of the plantation

40


2.2.4 Revenue generation

To improve harvesting, sales of forest products from the plantation 2.2.5 Utilization

To improve marketing of existing forest products from the plantation. 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 protect 4303.61 ha against fire, monkey damage, amphids and illegal harvesting. 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

2.2.7 Resource assessment

To carry out map updating, survey and inventory of the plantation

2.3 STRATEGIC TARGETS 2.3.1 Silviculture

2.3.1.1 Species The main species to be planted at shume Forest Plantations includes Pinus patula, Grevillea robusta, Eucalyptus Spp and Cupressus lusitanica. The choice of species is based on performance, demand and fast growth species.

2.3.1.2 Nursery operations Improvement of the nurseries to raise seedlings of good quality in time and at a minimal cost.P. patula seedlings in the nurseries.

41


Plate 3: Seedlings at Gologolo Nursery

2.3.1.3 Planting area To ensure sustained yield of wood products, the Forest management should ensure that all clear felled areas are planted in time. 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 plots is done by management after consultation with joint forest management (JFM). Growing of food crops while tending trees continues until canopy closure, making it impossible for further growth of food crops – usually 3 – 4 years

2.3.1.4 Tending operation Thinning is necessary to enhance diameter increment. The thinning schedule indicated in technical order no 1 of 2003 should continue to be applied. According to thinning schedule, 460 trees are removed at the first thinning and 250 trees are removed at the second thinning, leaving the growing stock of 650 and 400 trees respectively. Due to low stocking in young stands, priority is given to second thinnings during the plan period. The thinnings are selective and priority for removals is defective and diseased trees. Thinnings are done by customers. Some of the specieses do not need thinning thus is due to purpose of the stand established. The thinning schedule is shown in Table 12.

2.7.1 Protection against fire, diseases etc In recent years we are not experiencing fire incindence and this because we manage to create aweaness on the effect of fire in forest and on farm preparation fire use is prohibited. In shume forest plantation we are not experiencing pest and deseases in trees but some areas are faced with hard pan situation thus lead to dry of some trees. 44


2.7.2 Rehabilitation and conservation of degraded areas and biotopes a) Control of soil erosion b) Preservation of water sources c) Control of loss of biodiversity 2.8 Resource assessment

2.8.1 Survey and mapping a) Survey of the plantation area b) Map updating of the four plantation blocks

2.8.2 Inventory To update the inventory data for the whole plantation to be used for the effective management of the plantation. The purpose of inventory is to acces forest resources available in terms of quality and quantity also for preparing management plan. Another inventory is expected to be done towards the end of this plan, accordind to TFS memorandam of understanding. The plantation manager may update these data whenever need arise because inventory training to project staff and data processing software (Forest calc) was provided. 2.9 Reserch

2.9.1 Reseach areas Current research areas undertaken by TAFORI and SUA (Sokoine University of Agriculture) include the following: i) Seed production- TTSA and TAFORI ii) Tree growth improvement- SUA The strategy is to collaborate with TAFORI and other research institutes to undertake research in the plantation to monitor growth and yield and establish PSPs.

CHAPTER THREE

3.0

PRESCRIPTION

3.1

SILVICUTURE

3.1.1

Nursery operation

The Gologolo nursery situated in Shume West block is about 0.75 ha in size and can adequately hold 500 000 to 1 000 000 seedlings. The Hambalawei nursery is within Shume East block, was established to raise seedlings to replant the nearby compartments.

3.1.1.1 Species Species to be selected will depend on the demand of the products, disease resistance, perfomance and the area to be planted. As far as perfomance and market demand are concerned, tree species preferred to be planted during this plan period will be P.patula C.lustanica, Eucalyptus spp, Juniperus procera and other (Grevillea robusta,) Due to aphids’ attack C.lustanica was not planted in large scale since 1995. Efforts to collect seeds from resistant mother trees will be continued for small scale establishment of Cypress as alternative which has shown signs of success against aphids’ attack. Also we discarage to plant acacia spp which tend to invide and suppress the planted tree species eg cypress and pines. In order to diversify tree species in the plantation some species will be planted in small scale as trial plots. These will include Casuarinas spp, etc.

3.1.1.2 Soil mixture The soil mixture that has been tested to ensure higher performance will continue to be used in our nurseries. 3.1.1.2.1 Soil ingredients

The recommended soil mixture for our nurseries will be as follows: -Forest top soil 20 parts -Cow dung manure 4 parts -1/2 kg of DAP NPK fertilizer The above ration has been decided due to better performance at the nurseries, compared to rations that were being used formally. A wheelbarrow normally measures the parts. The soil mixture should be made up well in advance of being filled in the tubes and should be kept moist under shade. It should be mixed well once or twice during the preparation period.

47


3.1.1.3 Seedling raising techniques 3.1.1.3.1 Pot sizes

The transplanting stock will be raised in 5-cm lay flat clear polythene tubes, cut to 10 cm length. The tubes will be filled by hand, 1000 tubes (pots) per manday to the top of each tube. Care must be taken to ensure that the soil is filled in the tube but not rammed to produce a compact block. 3.1.1.3.2 Sowing technique

Seed will be sawn by the direct and broadcast method in seedbeds. The seeds should be covered slight coat of fine sand and gently be firmed. 3.1.1.3.3 Seedbed (sawing density)

A seed bed of about 1 meter width by 7 meters in length will be sown with 1 kg of seeds by the broadcast method. However this will depend on species type to broadcast just enough seed on a bed. Care during watering will be observed in using fine showers to avoid splashing out the seeds.

3.1.1.4 Nursery tending technique 3.1.1.4.1 Watering regime

The Gologolo and Hambalawei nurseries are well installed with water pipes for hose watering and also by using watering cans. Watering is carried out twice a day, morning and evening during the dry season, and once or nil during the rainy season. Hardening off should be carried out a month before planting out, by gradual reducing of the watering frequency. 3.1.1.4.2 Sanitary operation

Weeding is done manually (by hand) to remove small plants from the pots and around the beds as frequently as needed. Mosses which normally appear on the surface of moistened soil on the pots should be removed/ weeded out by hands as necessary. 3.1.1.4.3 Pricking out

After seeds have germinated, normally before shading the cotyledons, seedlings have to be transplanted from seedbeds to pots. This normally takes 2-3 weeks for pines and Eucalyptus, 2-5 weeks for cypress and 2-6 weeks for Grevillea. Normally top dressing for softwood species is done in the potted seedlings two or three times at the interval of three months period. 3.1.1.4.4 Root pruning

The potted seedlings should be root pruned at the interval of three months period after transplanting. However this will depend on the type of tree species and thus it will be done as soon and often as required once the roots start to penetrate the ground surface soil. Using sharp knives will do root pruning. 48


3.1.1.4.5 Nursery calendar

In each year, soil collection will be done during the months of February- March and September – October. Sowing of seeds will be on May-June and January- February. Pricking out will be done as prescribed in section 3.1.1.5.3 3.1.2 Planting

3.1.2.1 Land preparation 3.1.2.1.1 Mechanical land preparation

Mechanical land preparation is not applied in Shume Forest Plantation 3.1.2.1.2 Manual land preparation

Due to severe land scarcity prevailing in and around the plantation, the yearly plantable areas (compartments) will be subdivided into small plots and allocated to staff members and villagers who will carry out land preparation under supervision, before planting out trees. The use of fire is totally prohibited in land preparation. In some areas with poor land quality to the performance of food crops (thus avoided by farmers) paid labourers will be used for land preparation.

3.1.2.2 Spacing Normally the spacing will be 3.0 x 3.0 meter for softwoods and 2.5 x 2.5 meters for hardwoods. The spacing for softwoods has been opted due to comparatively better performance observed in the former plantations/ compartments. Furthermore there has been cost reduction Table 13: Planting and Beating up schedule YEAR

3.1.2.3 Pit size Hoes will do pitting before planting. The pitted holes should be 30 to 30 cm deep and wide respective.lly

3.1.2.4 Timing Land preparation will normally start from September- November each year. Planting will be done during both short and long rains. Short rains normally fall in the months of November – December, whereas long rains start from March –May.

49


3.1.2.5 Planting stock size Normally, the size of the planting stock will depend on the period of planting and the duration required in the nursery. On regard to this, most seedlings will be planted when a height of about 912 inches is attained. From sawing this height will be after a period of 10- 12 months for Pines; 4- 6 months for Eucalyptus and 6- 9 months for Grevillea and Cypress.

3.1.3 Survival assessment for replanting and beating up Beating up will be carried if the survival is less than 80%. Big gaps should be replanted fully. Where beating up is required it will take preference over new planting. Compartments or subcompartments with less than 50% survival will have to be replanted at the expense or part of the annual planting programme. 3.1.4 Tending operations

3.1.4.1 Weeding Where planting is done, semi licenced cultivators will weed the areas for at least a year by cultivating temporary food crops. If cultivation is abandoned or prohibited in such areas as for catchment purposes, daily paid labourers will be employed on weeding. In other areas where squatter system is not applied due to such reasons as poor soil quality for their crops, weeding operations will be carried out using paid labourers. Climber cutting will normally be carried out in young and older stands where necessary. 3.1.4.1.1 Frequency

Spot weeding is normally done twice a year. Slashing may be done up to three times a year. Climber cutting will be done in special cases when needed. 3.1.4.1.2 Types

The most employed weeding types are spot weeding and slashing. However in newly established stands, Taungya system will be used except in areas with poor soil quality where squatters are not willingly/ready to cultivate, in which case spot weeding and slashing are employed. 3.1.4.1.3 Methods

Mainly employed weeding method is manual weeding using hoes.

50


3.1.4.2 Pruning For compartments that were established by a spacing of 2.5 x 2.5 meters, pruning will be carried out in accordance to technical order number 17 for Cypress and technical order number 22 for Pines. Pruning schedule for Pines in such stands will therefore be as follows: 1st Pruning (whole crop) – age of 4 years after planting 2nd Pruning (selective) – 2 years after 1st pruning 3rd Pruning (selective) – 2 years after the 2nd pruning Pruning schedule for Cypress in such stands will be as follows: 1st Pruning (whole crop) – age of 2.5 years after planting 2nd Pruning (selective) – 2 years after 1st pruning 3rd Pruning (selective) – 2 years after the 2nd pruning For compartments that were established by a spacing of 3 x 3 meters spacing that has shown better results for softwood (Pines and Cypress), pruning will be done by following the schedule below: 1st Pruning (whole crop) – age of 4 years after planting 2nd Pruning (selective) – 2 years after 1st pruning 3rd Pruning (selective) – 2 years after the 2nd pruning 3.1.4.2.1 Heights

Pruning heights for pines will be as follows: 1st Pruning – prune to ½ height 2nd Pruning – prune to 3/5 height 3rd Pruning – prune to 4/7 height Pruning height for Cypress will be as follows: 1st Pruning – prune to ½ height 2nd Pruning – prune to ½ height 3rd Pruning – prune to 5/6 height 3.1.4.2.2 Frequency

For newly established stands pruning will be done three times, viz. 1st, 2nd and 3rd pruning for both Pines and Cypress.

3.2 Capital Investments 3.2.1 Roads

3.2.1.1 Road construction The road density for Shume plantation is adequate; therefore there are no plans for road construction during the management plan period.

3.2.1.2 Road maintenance Maintenance will depend on the intensity of rainfall and type of road damages. Road maintenance will be timely done before and after rainfall. The frequency of maintenance is higher in July-September and November-February. The most employed method of road maintenance is manual, using simple hand tools hoes, spades, pangas and slashers. Access roads within the plantation are as shown in Management map, JB 517 (1:10,000). 3.2.2 Buildings

Existing buildings are situated at Shume and Shagayu Blocks: a) Shume Blocks: Gologolo is the administrative centre for the plantaton, at which the office, stores, workshop, dispensary, staff quarters and recreation centre are situated. A primary school is nearby. There is a nucleus of staff quarters and office at Hambalawei range two staff quarters at Manolo and other six staff quarters at shume west block b) Shagayu Block: The sub administrative centre is within the plantation area, with the office and staff quarters. Table below shows the list of existing plantation buildings.

3.2.2.1 Building construction There are no plans to construct new buildings, except three rooms for the office and store Extention together with one staff and one roomed office at Malibwi.

59


3.2.2.2. Building maintenance The plantation management carries out upkeep and maintenance of building, and lately With funds allocated, the state of maintenance is increasingly better. 3.2.2.2.1 Maintenance frequency

Normally maintenance is carried out during dry seasons 3.2.2.2.2 Methods of maintenance

Maintenance will be done by repainting, filling of wall cracks and roof/floor cracks, Together with repair of windows and doors. Maintenance also involves rehabilitation of Pit latrines, water system, and drainage system building cost is normally determined by Tanzania building agency (TBA). 3.2.3. Vehicles, plants, Equipment and Tools.

The plantation is in possession of two sheds. One shed is for garage (servicing and minor Maintenance of vehicles). The second shed is for parking of vehicles are kept in the general store.

3.2.3.1. Procuremenet Procurement of vehicles, plants and some major equipment/tools will be done subject to Funds availability. These will include office equipment like computers, photocopier equipment and solar power system. Similarly, there are plans to install electricity hydro power for the (Gologolo) Station. 3.2.3.1.1. Types

Various types of equipment/tools will be purchased for nursery activities and tending operations in the plantation.

3.2.3.2. Maintenance Vehicles, plants and equipment/tools in the plantation have far outlined their expected useful life. Frequent maintenance of vehicles, plants and equipment/tools, which may be needed, will be observed according to workshop schedule, in order to stretch their Service life. The main station at Gologolo had electrical installation using a DALE engine generator with 18-horse power. However, the plant is no longer in use due to depreciation and technical problems. 3.2.3.2.1 Maintenance frequency

Since most of vehicles, plants and equipment/tools are old, frequent maintenance will be done as required.

60


3.2.3.2.2 Replacement Generally, most of our vehicles, plants and equipment/tools need to be replaced. However, some of these like Lorrys, generator set need to be replaced urgently. 3.2.4 Communication facilities

3.2.4.1 Procurement Communication is extremely poor throughout the plantation. There is no network existing at Gologolo. 3.2.4.1.1. Type

The internal telephone service is not in form of cable wire system. We plan to have five walkietalkie will preferably be of at least 5 pieces.

3.2.4.2 Maintenance When purchased, the relevant walkie-talkie will be maintained by the office. However, the plantation management will maintain the internal Communication system

3.2.4.3 Replacement Currently, there are no communication facilities to be replaced in the plantation 3.2.4.3.1 Depreciation

Therefore no existing internal communication system. 3.2.5 Water supply

3.2.5.1 Sources The existing water sources within the plantation will be maintained to ensure sustainable Supply of enough water for both nursery and domestic uses. This will include cleaning of water source; fencing and planting of selected indigenous water shed tree species around the water source and along the streams.

3.2.5.2 Supply systems Shume blocks are well supplied with piped water. However, due to depreciation of old water pipes, replacement of some pipelines is expected during this plan period. Water supply system at Shagayu block is very poor, whereby both domestic uses are from the streams. There are plans to purchase water pump that will facilitate on water supply for the station and nursery uses.

61


3.2.5.3 Quality and quantity Water quality is generally poor in all parts of the plantation, especially for domestic uses. Efforts to improve water quality will involve planting of more watershed trees at the sources and use of plumber man to restrict illegal operations at and /or around the water sources. 3.2.6 Social services

Various social services will be improved / maintained and other installed.

3.2.6.1 Types Improvement to increase efficiency of kindergarten class will be observed. Efforts will be done to ensure smooth running of the Gologolo dispensary to improve health services. Subject to funds availability there are plans of connecting the electricity from the National grid (TANESCO) to Gologolo forest station. A social club (Welfare Social Hall) at Gologolo still lacks some interesting indoor games such as darts, table tennis, and pool table to entertain staff and nearby villagers. These will be among the innovation thought to be introduced / improved to ensure improved social services, especially to staff members.

3.3 Human resources 3.3.1 Human resources Development

3.3.1.1 Training plan Long and short courses for permanent staff will be considered in this management draft plan. 3.3.2 Recruitment

Retirement of a number of staff their position will require to be filled by competent staff. A number of temporary and casual workers will vary according to the season and work intensity. New recruitment of personnel will be effected where necessary. The number of workers present and/ or required at the plantation.

3.4 Revenue generation 3.4.1 Source of revenue

Main sources of revenue at Shume Forest Plantation are from sales of timber (clearfelling and thinning). Part of revenue is accrued from saw mill installation fees, sales of firewood, wattle bark, poles and withies. Other revenue sources include fees from commercial business centers and fines from forest offences.

3.6 Protection and Conservation 3.6.1 Prevention

3.6.1.1 Fire Plan The present fire plan in the plantation will continue to be used. Similarly, more emphasis will be put to ensure that the nearby local communities are much more involved in the protection and conservation of the forest areas, especially in areas already under JFM. Cleaning fire breaks before the fire season to remove highly combustible wood and grass Purchasing and maintaining fire fighting equipments in a good working condition ready for use in case of fire

3.6.1.2 Control plan for diseases and pests For Cypress die back due to attack by aphids, control will be by reducing its planting. Similarly, for those small establishments, only seed from TTSA and resistant mother trees will be raised. Firearms and ammunitions will be used to control monkeys that cause damage to cypress. Application of chemicals (insectside and fungiside) will be used in control of pests and diseases in the nurseries. 3.6.2 Rehabilitation

3.6.2.1 Assessment for rehabilitation Through surveys, damaged areas will be assessed. Damaged areas are mostly due to poor cultivation methods and/or treatments (like over pruning), grazing and encroachment.

3.6.2.2 Methods of rehabilitation Agricultural activities will be abandoned in catchment areas. Similarly, grazing in forest reserves is strictly prohibited. Law enforcement will be used in endangered areas due to encroachment. All these will be affected in collaboration with the village partner under JFM Agreements.

FIRE PLAN 1. SOURCE: Incidences of fire in Shume plantation arises from the following sources: a) Burning operation in newly allocated Shambas before planting. b) Fire lit by herdsmen, honey hunters and hyrax hunters. c) Fire lit by people traveling across the forest area. d) Burning of debris in areas adjacent to plantations outside the forest. 2. FIRE SEASON The highest period of fire hazard is generally from August to November. During this period winds blow strongly from SouthEast. January to April is another fire hazard period to long rains. 3. AREA OF HIGHEST HAZARD: a) Plantations adjacent to Shambas being prepared for planting. b) Plantations in the vicinity of residential plots. c) Compartments bound on public land being cultivated or been done recently. d) Other areas being harvested and favoured by hunters. 4. FIRE PROTECTION

5.1 ROADS There is an adequate road network in each of the blocks of the project. The road system forms a basis for fire protection in subdividing the plantation areas, which provide quick access to any part of plantations. These roads can be used as firebreaks and as base lines for back firing.

5.2 FIRE BREAK Roads serve as firebreaks. A distance of 5m from the edge of the road is slashed on both sides. Where plantation are bound on cultivated lands, either public or residential and where no road is located to serve as a firebreak, a strip 10m wide scraped and maintained. Compartment boundaries are 10m wide strips. The maintenance of compartment boundaries and minor firebreaks should be kept to a minimum. Shrub growth is needed to be cut. In case of fire, a line can be quickly cleared by hand tools or mechanically.

95


5.FIRE LOOKOUT TOWERS

5.3 SHUME PLANTATION A fire tower exists and situated on the north of compartment 46 and gives adequate lookout of the area. These services as far as to Hambalawei block, with exception of Sungwi and the eastern slope of Shume valley.

5.4 SHAGAYU PLANTATION The fire tower at Shagayu is in compartment 36 this has been supplemented by a further fire tower in the northern section of the plantations near compartment 3. 6. BURNING POLICY No burning is allowed except in connection with clearing of land or preparation under the supervision of the plantation staff. 7. PROJECT MEASURES: The Assistant Forest officers in charge of each range are responsible for the intensive protection measures applied to their ranges. They are responsible for initiating and coordinating action in case of fire and take care of fire fighting. They should ensure that all necessary fire fighting equipment are available, in good order and that only initial action in case of fire is communicated to project centre at Gologolo as quick as possible. Mobility and speed are of utmost importance.

5.5 FIRELOOKOUT AND PATROL The fire lookout points are manned by trained, reliable personel and visual watch maintained everyday from morning 11.00 am to 6.00 pm evening as conditions warrant. Foot patrols are detailed by Manager to cover hazardous areas.

5.6 COMMUNICATIONS There is no field telephone system in this plantation to date. A daily fire duty roster is always under full swing during dry periods.

5.7 FIRE FIGHTING STANDBY CREW: A Standby crew of 5-6 men is maintained within easy reach of the plantation centers with transport and fire equipment ready at all time. This unit is trained and forms the initial expression force in case of fire breakout. The unit reaches fire spot as quickly as possible and initial fire expression action till additional people if required is supplied. 96


5.8 TRANSPORT AND EQUIPMENTS The location of all transport articles should be known at all times. A reliable vehicle is available at each time with a standby driver on.

5.9 WARNING NOTICE Signboard with words “USICHOME MOTO” are plced at all major points of entry to the plantation area some notice are placed near residential centers within the project.

5.10 TRAINING Training is emphasized on fire prevention, quick response to fire alarm, used of fire equipment methods of fire suppressions and safety measures.

5.11 FIRE FIGHTING Primary objects considered in fire fighting are: 1. Early detection 2. Immediate dispatch of standby unit 3. Control - reducing or stopping fire spread 4. Suppression – extinguishing all burning materials. Early detection and reporting firebreak is essential. There must be no delay in reporting fire to the project center and communications are maintained to ensure this. Fire is controlled as quickly as possible. Initial force attacks the major area of fire spread first once the spread of fire has been controlled further suppression action are followed. Hand tools are used to extinguish burning material. Water supplies are plentiful in the project area therefore water pumps should be used with the greatest effect possible with the limited water available. Though a fire is suppressed when all combustion material has ceased or mopped up. Once fire is suppressed the crews withdraw to the project center ready for further fire outbreak elsewhere. A number of fire fighters is kept patrolling the area till all combustion is ceased. The number varies according to the burned area, sufficient enough to handle any flare- ups that occur and to systematically extinguish all smoking debris, with emphasis on the area within 60 metres of the fire line. In this area hot training is done with the hand locating hot areas around stumps etc. to locate burning roots which may cause ground fires.

97


8. FIRE REPORTS All fires within the forest plantation are reported after they have been put out. The forest Manager prepares a report to the Director of Forestry at the Head Office. The report includes the following: 1. Station 2. Date fire commenced 3. Fire discovered 4. Time discovered 5. Method of alarm 6. Weather condition – very hot, wind, humidity, and other remarks 7. (a) first sighting of the fire (b) Size of the fire when sighted 8. Vehicles mobilized to fight fire - (tools used- pangas, jembes etc) 9. Time taken to reach fire 10. Officer incharge of fire 11. (a) Account of progress of fire (type, spread and direction spot fire etc) (b) Measures taken to suppress fire 12. Number of person involved 13. Cessation of main activities 14. Complete extinguishments 15. Casualties among persons 16. Assessment of hectarage burnt and estimated timber lost 17. Comments and recommendations 9. CONCLUSION The plantation Manager evaluates the fire condition within the project area and plan for the shifting of emphasis to area of immediate high hazard as necessary. Supplying of additional equipment for the fire fighting from one block to another is planned.
