Excerpt from Working Plan for the Forests of the Jubbulpore Forest Division, Northern Circle, Central Provinces: For the Period 1899-1900 to 1928-29

A few words are necessary to explain the genesis of this Working Plan. In 1894-95 measures were set on foot to regulate the management of the forests of the Jubbulpore Forest Division in accordance with working plans. Rangers, termed for the purpose Work ing Plan Assistants, were appointed to prepare the plans under the immediate direction of the Conservator. Plans for some of the forests were drafted and put at once into execution, but they were not submitted for the sanction of higher authority. In December 1896, it was found that the plans were too unpractical to be longer followed. They had parcelled out each forest on the maps (not on the ground) into strips and patches according to an ocular estimate of the density of the stocking made by walking once or twice through it, and only those plots were assigned to be worked, which were from three-quarters to fully cropped all areas less densely stocked were not to be touched at all by the axe, but were to be perpetually grazed over. The result was that the patches of forest to be worked over were, as they appear ed ou the maps, mere islands surrounded by theoretically unworkable areas and on the ground it was impossible to separate them, for no one could say where the three-quarter crop ended and the half-crop began, especially as in nearly all our forests the density of the cr0p varies widely from point to point, often a dozen times within a single acre. Some coupes were sold standing at so much per workable acre, but disputes soon arose as to what portions of the coupes were workable in accordance with the working plan.
