Comprehensive yield model for teak plantations Ghana
Site specific yield tables are hard to come by. This paper presents a comprehensive yield model for teak plantations in central Ghana, prepared by our colleagues Ransford Nkuah and Abubakari Tahiru toghether with Tieme Wanders, Andries Polinder, and Denis Alder. With the methods described, specific yield tables can be developed based on monitoring data. The article has been published by Teaknet in their Bulletin, Volume 15, Issue 2 of April 2022.

The initiative was developed under the Landscape Restoration Programme for Tain II Forest Reserve, implemented and managed by Form Ghana, and supported by Form International and DOB Ecology.
Genetic diversity of Form Ghana's Teak
A group of scientist and forestry experts have analysed the genetic diversity of teak in a trial at Form Ghana. The results were captured in the article "Teak genetic diversity in Ghana shows a narrow base for further breeding and a need for improved international collaboration for provenance exchange" and published in the journal "Genetics Resources".
New forest on the Tain river bank in Ghana
To celebrate International Day of Forests, we interviewed Dr. Lucy Amissah, Senior Research Scientist at CSIR-Forestry Research Institute of Ghana.
She shares her experiences with reforestation and natural regeneration. “People think that after planting a tree the work is done. But actually the real work, maintenance, only starts after planting the tree.” Form Ghana thanks Lucy for her valuable contribution to the reforestation activities of Form Ghana.
