Trees4Trees agreed to implement a collaborative research with Division of Research and Development of Ministry of Forestry. Objective of the research was to identify precise number of wood needed by national industry. While Trees4Trees focused the research in the requirement of wood for industry in Java Island.
Collaboration with the academic community has always been high on the agenda of Trees4Trees. Combining the physical planting, growing and community social impact data that Trees4Trees generates with the theoretical knowledge and analysis of the institutions of learning provides a valuable benefit to both groups.
Social Impact Assessment (SIA) consists of several steps, started with social indicator, secondly, data collection, then analysis, continued with social mapping and finally ended with monitoring. It is expected that community where the program/activity delivered will get maximum positive impact and minimum negative impact in social aspect. Same as SIA, Environmental Impact Assessment implemented as an effort to maximize positive impact and minimize negative impact of a program/activity to a community and its surrounding environment.
Production activity went from January to September 2011. The product acquired mostly Sengon, Mahogany and Teak. The harvesting process was supervised by Trees4Trees or/with local coordinator. Considering the extensive location, more time was required. This time described the continuous process after the timber cut and observation by Trees4Trees.
Successful forest management requires the full cooperation of the communities who are affected by these activities. Gaining this trust and cooperation requires a deep understanding of the area and its inhabitants. The people side of this exercise is called Social Impact Assessment (SIA) and considers a community’s culture and economy.
Preparation of 2011 Seedbed
The preparation of seedbed was aimed at preparing seedling as supply of 2011 Planting Program. It implemented in 3 locations: Banyumas, Purbalingga and Klaten with support fro State Agricultural Vocational School and Farmer Group. Seedlings prepared in the seedbed: Teak, Mahogany, Sengon, Suren and Mango.
During this period, Trees4Trees™ performed Social and Environmental Impact Assessment. The objective of environmental assessment was to identify positive and negative impact that have resulted from program activity towards surrounding environment.
Result of the assessment is Environmental Impact Assessment, Social Impact Assessment and High Conservation Value Report.
ACIAR cooperated withTrees4Trees to conduct research entitled 'Overcoming Constraints to Community Based Commercial Forestry in Indonesia.' In the cooperation, ACIAR will make use Pati Management Unit as one of research locations until December 2014, together with other locations developed by other parties, such Gunung Kidul, Bulukumba, Konawe and Sumbawa.

Trees4Trees™ has been planting trees in Central Java communities since 2007. One of the big benefits of community forestry is that in addition to added tree cover it provides an income for those communities when the trees are harvested. Some of the fast growing species planted by Trees4Trees are already coming to harvest-able maturity.
Water is the essence of life and to provide a healthy living environment for local communities, the water supply must be clean and protected.
