ABOUT WING
The Social Forestry wing of Karnataka Forest Department comprises 30 Social Forestry divisions which work under the Zilla Panchayaths. These divisions carry out afforestation works aimed at greening of non-forest lands all over the state. Plantations are normally raised on vacant lands such as nala-bunds, river beds, school/college compounds, institutional lands, gomala lands, etc. Through such works, the Social Forestry wing also creates enormous job opportunities for unemployed people, especially in the rural areas.
