Large portion of the district was desert during
2001-2002 as per revenue record, the area under forest is 27234 hectares which
is only about 0.85% of the total area of the district. The trees like Ker,
Kumat, Roida, Babool, Ber, Khejri, Aak
are available in the forest of the district. However, the wood of Roida tree is
being used as timber for building material and furniture making.
The demand of artistic, carved furniture made out of
Roida wood is in great demand in these days, which is being sent out of various part of the
country, Besides, the Aak wood is used in manufacturing of fibre-rope(Ankla),
which is considered as quite strong. Accordingly, there is scope for setting up
of industrial units for making furniture as fibre ropes and also a few milk.
The Desert Development Program and Jawahar Rozgar
Yojana have under taken several schemes to develop forestry in the district.
