Abstract

Trees Outside forest, both major and minor caters to multiple basic needs to the community and contributes more to ecological stability. Their value can be judged by the fact that they are the biggest source of the basic needs of mankind. Thus it is obvious that preservation and protection of this green gold is essential to the national interest. The present study demonstrates the scope, methodology and outcomes of Trees Outside Forest mapping of Pinjore block (Panchkula district) using Cartosat approach for the mapping of various Tree Outside Forests (TOF) categories on 1: 10,000 scale. The overall Trees Outside Forest (TOF) are classified under three major feature types. The analysis of the satellite data also revels that an area of 18.33 sq km (6.36%) of TOF were present in Pinjore bloc
