Synopsis (short abstract) The aim of the Poster is to strengthen the competence of forest professionals in the field of establishment and tending of forest plantations by providing them with best establishment and tending practices. The major benefits expected are: contribution to the implementation of the national policies for sustainable development; contribution to poverty alleviation in rural areas; increased supply of timber and other forest products and services from well managed forests; actual forest sector contribution to the country economy raised; technically stronger, modern forest service oriented to supporting private and public forest development in a sustainable way; wider people’s participation in policy development and implementation, and conservation of forests, watersheds and biodiversity related to forest ecosystems. The poster presents good practices of establishment and tending of forest plantations with advice on the elaboration of a planting plan, the types and treatment of seedlings before planting, planting techniques, density and geometry, occupational safety and the organization of planting and necessary equipment.
