Improving the Management of Tree Farms in the Philippines Through the Use of Demonstration Sites

Demonstration sites on existing tree farms have been chosen as the interface between farmers and project outputs in Leyte Province. The sites have been selected and the owner's cooperation has been obtained. A silvicultural management plan for each site is in preparation. Visits to the demonstration sites by interested farmers will provide the opportunity for them to evaluate tree farming and how it may be incorporated into their farming systems. This paper describes an action research methodology for the development and implementation of extension activities on the demonstration sites
