On Thursday, 26 September, participants gathered for a field trip to view a number of the activities of the Yogyakarta Forest Management Unit (FMU, known as KPH or Kapeha in Indonesia). In the morning, delegates visited the Mangunan Pine Forest, the Playen Community Forest and the Playen Superior Teak Plantations. In the afternoon, participants visited the Wanagama Rehabilitation and Experimental Forest and the Sendangmole Cajuput Industry.
At the Mangunan Pine Forest, participants were able to view resin tapping, which provides households with an additional income of approximately US$100 a month. The visit to the Playen Community Forest was an opportunity to view a community empowerment initiative supported by the Government of Indonesia, which was implemented in 1998 to counter a wave of illegal logging. The Playen Superior Teak Plantation provided an example of young plantings of Nusantara Superior Teak, which is a fast-growing variety developed through biotechnology.
The Wanagama Rehabilitation and Experimental Forest provided participants with an opportunity to view successful restoration of a degraded area that was previously cleared of native teak trees in the 1940s. It was established in 1964 as an educational and experimental forest that is now used for tree genetic trials, silviculture, and conservation of mahogany, black ebony and other species. At the Sendangmole Cajuput Industry, participants were able to see cajuput oil production in which the cajuput leaves were steamed and the oil separated through a condensation process.
Following a tree planting ceremony, Andrea Kutter, FIP Senior Program Coordinator, CIF Administrative Unit, expressed appreciation to the Government of Indonesia for all arrangements and the warm hospitality shown to delegates. Teguh Rahardja, Ministry of Forestry, Indonesia, thanked everyone for their participation and wished them safe travels home.
