Abstract

The Chakrata Forest Division is in Dehradun district. The locals of Chakrata are tribal and popularly known as 'Jaunsaris'. These people live in the small gathering near the forest and still depend on natural resources for their day to day need. A total of 17 plant species are recorded from the wilderness that are consumed by locals by directly collecting from the forests. Species like Diplezium has become so popular that it is routinely collected from the wild and sold in the nearby market. There are many other species which are used as vegetables, and few are used as spices and condiments. These include herbs, shrubs, trees and ferns. Parts of the plants are used as vegetables include stem, twigs, leaves etc.
