approaches: i) integrated mosaic planting system and ii), clear-felling and plant. Bothcompanies are required to formulate a Plantation Development plan for their respectiveareas.The basic idea behind ‘integrated mosaic planting’ system is to establish tree plantationswhilst maintaining small patches of natural forest within the planted area, that is, :• All steep areas (>25ºslopes) and buffer zones of a minimum of 50 m must beprotected from logging;• The degraded areas will be cleared in patches but the cleared patches must beless than 30 ha in size. This will result in a patchwork or “mosaic design” that willprovide continuous natural habitats and biodiversity within the existing residualforest across the compartment; and• All cleared patches will be later planted with fast growing indigenous species inorder to provide economic returns within 15 years.The target proportion of planted forest within these two SFMLA areas to natural forestis roughly 60 % and 40 % respectively. The scattered patches of natural forest willintegrate with man-made forest to form a forest mosaic that likely supports a greaterlevel of structural, functional, and biological diversity, than a monoculture. Such a design,also gives the forest a more natural appearance, thereby resulting in a planted forest ofsuperior aesthetic quality.The second approach, i.e. clear felling and plant, is a more conventional approach toplantation establishment. It allows the company to clear-fell and plant up all areas aspermitted in the license agreement. Both approaches, however, will have to observerestrictions to clearing, such as on riparian buffers and slopes greater than 25 0 .The four compartments (Cpts. 55, 56, 70 and 71) will be completely developed by 2010.6.3.3 Enrichment PlantingEnrichment planting as a silvicultural practice refers to the planting of commerciallydesirable species in forest areas where their natural regeneration has been determinedto be inadequate. It is essentially the process of supplementing natural regeneration inan existing forest, and therefore does not involve the clear-felling of trees as one wouldexpect in the establishment of a typical mono-species forest plantation. Planting is donein clusters of 3-4 seedlings within existing gaps or those created systematic strip lines.The Forestry Department will undertake to carry out enrichment planting for 2,400 haover the planning period. This activity started in 2005 where 553 ha had been planted asof 2009 (see Table 6.3).57
