FOREST PEOPLE

People's History of Forest Management
The development of community forests in Dengok started in the 1970s. In the beginning there was a location called 'Regol Baya', ie government land / cash villages that many Teak trees aged of 300 years. From these locations spread Teak seeds that grew into shoots / seedling (thukulan) in the vicinity. Citizens who own land near the transfer Regol Baya (cabutan) seedlings / saplings are to land / moor them. Jati plant communities previously only on the boundaries of their land, but along with increasing the skills of citizens, many citizens are looking for revenue sources other than farming, especially in the dry season, so they abandoned the field entirely planted with cash crops, especially teak. Teak plants in Regol Baya was last cut circa 1975, where the wood is used for village development. 

The development of community forests in Dengok influenced by the soil conditions are more critical, the availability of water which began to decrease and forest conditions are increasingly damaged state. Since the first agricultural society in the form of rainfed agriculture, but the availability of drinking water is still enough in the dry season.
There are several springs (Belik) and less well still providing water for the community to the needs of MCK. Since the 1970s, conditions had begun to decline Belik water and many residents are digging wells in their neighborhood. This turned out to have an impact on their dependence on a dwindling Belik, even around in the 1980s had little Belik conditions and the present water usage was limited to water crops in nearby ..
In the 1980s the state forest conditions were good with a large timber such as Teak, Wood White and Mahogany. Forest people are getting too much.
In the 1990s at the Regent Subekti Sunarto, there is an appeal that if logging had to be planted, meaning residents may harvest the timber in the forest when people are first planted.
At this time, to build public awareness of the people's forests better. For them to plant cash crops on their land will be very profitable, it is because there is a saying in the "ora gedhe ngingu botor", so without any serious maintenance they will pick up the results later.
