The workshop was organized by the National Research Committee on Multipurpose Tree Species (MPTS), Winrock International, F/FRED, Bangkok, Thailand and the Sri Lanka-German Upper Mahaweli Water Management Project (UMWP, who also funded the proceedings). After introductory addresses, 26 papers are presented on various aspects of MPTS in Sri Lanka. Topics include: forest policy; MPTS for fodder; agroforestry systems (including home gardens, forest gardens, alley cropping, shade trees/MPTS with plantation crops, economic aspects); underexploited wild trees; soil and water conservation using hedgerows in upland areas; nursery studies on Pericopsis mooniana; coppice growth of Gliricidia sepium provenances; use of non-forest lands for wood production; rural tree growing; the effect of burning on ground flora and soil in Pinus caribaea plantations; forest plantation site selection; non-home garden flora; indigenous knowledge on the utilization of Azadirachta indica; buffer zone development and sustainable forest management; and the contribution of forest resources to the national economy.
