Abstract:
Forestry Research had always been part of the general
forest management activities since the establishment of
the Forestry, Botanic and Scientific Dept. in 1898. In
1954 the Forestry Research Center was established at
Nakawa. Forestry research was under the control of the
Commissioner for Forestry until 1992 when it was
transferred to the National Agricultural Research
Organization (NARO). NARO was mandated to
undertake, promote and coordinate research in all
aspects of crops, fisheries, forestry and livestock.
