This study examines local views on forest resources by residents of Makwasinyi and Jora at Mt. Kasigau, southeast Kenya, and asks: (1) how do the residents view their landscape and the distribution of different land cover types; (2) what kinds of forest resources do the residents obtain from their mapped landscape? Between May and August 2002, I carried out participatory mapping sessions, focal group interviews, transect walks across firewood sites, and observations of people's activities in relation to their uses of woody plants. The seven village maps compiled reveal a diverse landscape with montane forest, homes and farms across a transition, and bushland. I recorded high plant diversity, with 105 woody plants used for food and/or fodder, construction, technology, remedy, fuel, and ecosystem services. The findings provide strong rationale for information sharing among stakeholders and the inclusion of local resource knowledge in adaptive collaborative management plans for Mt. Kasigau.
