Common Forestry Extension Methods
-Agroforestry
-Taungya
-Community Woodlots
-Natural Vegetation
-Erosion Control

Promoting the integration of trees with agricultural crops or livestock to enhance productivity and environmental sustainability
AGROFORESTRY SYSTEMS
A system where farmers grow crops in the early stages of forest plantation establishment, providing them with additional income while the trees grow.
TAUNGYA
Establishing communal forests where local communities can collectively manage and benefit from the resources.
COMMUNITY WOODLOTS
Educating communities on the importance of conserving and managing natural forests and other vegetation for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services.
MANAGEMENT OF NATURAL VEGETATION
Providing guidance on practices such as reforestation, contour plowing, and watershed management to prevent soil erosion and improve water quality and availability.
EROSION CONTROL OR IMPROVEMENT
OF WATER SUPPLIES
Encouraging the planting of trees and green spaces in urban areas for aesthetic and recreational purposes.
AMENITY PLANTING
Promoting the development of small businesses based on forest resources, such as eco-tourism, non-timber forest products, and sustainable harvesting of timber.
SMALL SCALE FOREST-BASED ENTERPRISES
How are FEM implemented?
through a process of integrating indigenous and derived knowledge, attitudes, and skills, taking into account local conditions and resources.
They involve active participation and collaboration between extension organizations, local communities, and other stakeholders.

Benefits of Forestry Extension
Meeting Local Needs
Skill Development
Improved Livelihood
Health & Well-being
Increased Agricultural Output
Environmental Benefits
A benefit of FE that address the needs that people have identified for themselves, allowing them to devote their time and resources to satisfying those needs.
MEETING LOCAL NEEDS
A benefit of FE that through participation in extension programs, people learn to cooperate, plan ahead, and take action to achieve their objectives.
SKILL DEVELOPMENT
A benefit of FE that provide tangible benefits such as fuelwood for cooking, poles or timber for house building, fodder for animals, fruit for consumption or sale, shade or shelter for people and animals, employment opportunities from handicraft production, and cash from the sale of surplus produce.
IMPROVED LIVELIHOODS
A benefit of FE that promote the establishment of fodder or shade trees for livestock can contribute to higher values of animal products.
HEALTH & WELL-BEING
A benefit of FE that by understanding the interrelation between forestry and agriculture, extension programs can lead to a more favorable overall view of forestry activities. This, in turn, can result in higher agricultural output as people recognize the benefits of integrating forestry practices into their farming systems.
INCREASED AGRICULTURAL OUTPUT
A benefit of FE that can contribute to erosion control, improvement of water supplies, and the management of natural vegetation. These practices help to protect and enhance the environment, leading to long-term sustainability.

Policy Implementation
form the basis of a whole range of teaching and extension aids. They are generally simple and often relatively inexpensive and can be used to re-in force or clarify a speaker’s message.
Non-projected aids
facilitate a clearer understanding of messages by allowing individuals not just to hear words but also to visually perceive object characteristics or landscape features, creating a more vivid mental image.
AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS
Examples of non-projected
