Tree density is about 122 trees per hectare. Regeneration within the forest is good, with upto five of the ten dominant tree species represented among the ten most dominant saplings. Approximately 268 people live less than five kilometers from the forest boundary. The forest vegetation density is low and species diversity is low. It has a very low commercial value and an above normal subsistence value.
Tree densities are further decreasing due to pitsawing activities.
The greatest challenge to forest conservation is the illegal harvesting of under-sized trees, which is likely to reduce the forests' ability to meet future timber requirements. Although there is no charcoal burning or commercial fuelwood harvesting currently, it is envisioned that these activities are likely to increase in future as forests closer to Kampala city get depleted and charcoal demands increase. The main tree dominants are Antiaris toxicaria , Sapium ellipticum , and Lovoa brownii . Tree density in this forest is about 248 stems per hectare, mean dbh is 19.98cm, and a mean height of 8.85m. A total of 43 different species were encountered in the sampling area.
