After passing the FSC-CW Risk Assessment, Trees4Trees together with farmer group of Gunung Wungkal Forest Management Unit undertook production preparation.

ABP, T4T and a local Farmer Group pass FSC Controlled Wood Risk Assessment.

This is a very important milestone for all the parties because it ensures that the Farmer Group will receive a premium price for their timber and part of that premium will be allocated for preservation of high value natural forests in the area as well as watersheds and culturally important local sites.

As part of a larger ongoing ACIAR study, “Study Task 2” was undertaken to identify value framework of community forestry results as a livelihood for rural people. A survey was conducted in Pati district to assess the local family economies in the study area.

Trees4Trees™ distributed 184,972 tree seedlings in January 2013. The species consist of Sengon, Teak, Suren and Mahogany. The seedling were distributed to eight districts in Central Java; Kebumen, Purbalingga, Cilacap, Magelang, Klaten, Tegal and Pati.
