TL;DRAbstract

The development of user group management plans is a necessary step in the implementation of the Nepal Government's community forestry programme. In this paper, it is argued that forestry extension must become more user-oriented and be an integral part of all forest management activities. In this concept of extension the villagers are seen as both the users and managers of the forest and the forestry professionals and technicians are seen as technical advisors and facilitators. The importance of working with people and of assisting intra-village and village-government negotiation is stressed.
