The present area of State forests is 622 sq. miles representing
1 7 % of the total area of the island. Approximately 1 4 % of
these forests are situated in the hill catchment areas. The
remainder consist of scrub forests or plantations in the plains.
The principal forest species are :—
Pinus halepensis ; Pinus nigra, var. caramanica ; Cupressus
sempervirens ; Cedrus brevijolia ; Platanus orientalis ;
.4lnus orientalis; Quercus alnifolia; Arbutus andrachne
Juniperus species.
The main hill forests are managed primarily for -water
conservancy. They are also the principal Bourcee of timber.
The lowland forests and plantations yield a large part of the
island's fuel and charcoal supply.
Local timber and forest industries have been entrusted to
private enterprise, which has developed rapidly in recent years.
The Forest Department's sawmills, of which there are six in
operation, are leased to private timber companies.
Approximately 4 8 % of the island's timber consumption is
supplied from the State forests.
It is expected that the outturn of local timber will be increased
as more of the main forests come under working plan organization.
* Permits for small quantities issued to villagers.
