HARVESTING OF GAZETTED FOREST PLANTATIONS.

Forest Plantations comprise six percent of Kenya’s gazetted forest estate and the exotic tree species have a rotation period of 25 to 30 years after which if they are not harvested, they begin to rot. Hence the Service uses felling plans to harvest a maximum of 5,000 hectares per year and this ensures the Government profits from the investments in Forest Plantations. The areas in which harvesting has been undertaken are then replanted.
