ABSTRACT
Intensive forest management is being introduced in moist temperate forests of Kaghan Valley based on a combination of shelter-wood system with clear-felling of trees down to an advanced growth of up to 12inch d.b.h., with artificial regeneration, mainly through planting.
Necessary planting stock is being raised in the nurseries consisting of conifers with emphasis on deodar (Cedrus deodara) and Kail (Pinus wallichiana). The prognosis of this approach is discussed briefly, to create awareness about the effects of unwarranted
