Following discussions with community stakeholders, it is clear that almost all tree species present some kind of value and utility for communities. However, respondents have also highlighted that there are six plant species that are the most preferred for all the communities in the targeted areas. Knowing the local adaptations and utilities of each species is a key to the success of entrenching FMNR in the study areas. The following plant varieties are the most preferred and thus recommended species for FMNR: o Cutch: Wood is durable and strong. The wood is largely used for house construction, agricultural implements such as wheels and tool-handles, and other purposes. It is excellent for fuel. o Indian Mulberry: The wood is used to make chairs, benches and farm implements. o Dalbergia paniculata: Used to make furniture and floorboards. It is also used for firewood. o Indian Mahogany: Due to its strong and durable characteristics, the wood is used as columns and supporting beams for homes. It is also used for firewood. Its flowers are used for traditional medicine.
o Button tree: Used in home construction as floorboards, for agricultural implements such as wheels, tool-handles, and other purposes.
