Evaluate the role of communities living inrnand around Raya Alamata in woody plant species conservation in the community based forestsrnof the district.rnPurposive sampling method was used to select Kebeles with communal forests and free grazingrnland adjacent to each other. A systematic random sampling method was used to locate thernsample plots in order to generate the woody plant species inventory data, that could help torninvestigate species composition, diversity, abundance, dominance, similarity and populationrnstructure. The species area curves were drawing following with the x-axis representing eachrnadditional sample area, and the y-axis representing the number of species. The vegetation in therncommunal forest as compared to that of the grazing land has shown an increased and change inrnspecies composition with increased of woody species and grass.
