• Since very early times Sri Lanka has had many forms of forestry practices including forest plantations. The British introduced modern plantation forestry in the 19th centry. Since then the plantation forestry sector has grown and legal and institutional frameworks have developed, although the total forest cover of the country has dwindled. Today forest plantations cover about 3% of the land area and comprise exotic as well as native tree species. Primarily they supplement the nation's timber and fuelwood needs. During the last decade several changes have taken place in the country's plantation forestry; (1) increased international funds, (2) increased awareness of forestry, (3) orientation toward the public (4) increased planting of indigenous trees and (5) a transition from government monopoly to a mix of state-owned and privately-owned plantations. For a sustainable future of forestry, forest plantations should be planned holistically, with consideration of alternative forestry practices, and the national land use, energy and timber utilization needs.
