April 29, 2018 | by admin
Community forest nurseries were established in 6 (six) villages under Tseminyu and Chiephobozou Ranges namely Tsonsa, New Tesephenyu, Nachama, Touphema, Chiechama and Phezha.
During the inaugural program on April 27 at Tseminyu and Chiephobozou, DFO Kohima Rongsenlemla Imchen highlighted the importance of raising local species in nurseries and also stressed on sustainable maintenance of nurseries for the following years. She said that these nurseries were established by the community under the FDA scheme to act as seedling bases for plantation in the project site for the current planting season as well as for community conservation activities in the village.
Nurseries were established in most of the project villages under Kohima, Chiefphobozou and Tseminyu Ranges during the current season with an endeavor to minimize pressure on seedling requirement from Range Nurseries so as to dodge sapling casualty during transportation and bank time for the public. The communities promised to put in all efforts to raise and maintain the plantation and also abide by the rules of conservation in action and spirit. The department appreciated the efforts of the community for their cooperation with regard to forests and environmental conservation. The program was attended by Forest personnel of Kohima, Tseminyu & Chiephobozou Range, local functionaries, JFMC and women functionaries.
