Species used for construction include Juniperus procera Allanblackia stuhmannii, Manilkara discolour. Prunus africana is another species, which is mainly used for house construction in W. Usambara; it is found in Magamba and Mazumbai FRs and on household farms in Bumbuli, Vuga and Baga. Other species used excessively in W. Usambara for house construction include Juniperus procera and Manilkara discolour. On the other hand, Kilenga (Personal communication,., 2006) indicates that there is unsustainable use of some of the endangered species such as Greenwayodendron sp and Uvariodendron usambarensis for commercial tool handles in Tanga city and nearby townships of Muheza and Korogwe. The supply of these handles come from Amani Nature Reserve. 23
