1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background and justification the study
Tree plantations are increasingly expected to provide forest products that used to be extracted from natural forests (Ashraf et al. ND).

Eucalyptus has become one of the most planted tree species in Africa in recent years. Eucalyptus was first introduced to Ethiopia during the regime of Emperor Menelik II (1868-1907) in 1895 by the French railway engineer Mondon-Vidaillet (He established trail plantation of 15 eucalyptus species for first time in Ethiopia) and a British army captain O 'Brien (Horvath, 1968; Gil et al, 2010; Tesfaye …show more content…

Accordingly, Zerihun Kebebew (2010) and Biruk Ketsela (2012) reported that discouraging eucalyptus may increase vulnerability to food insecurity at household level and eucalyptus is the most important part of poor and medium household to take poor farmers and urban dwellers out of the poverty trap. As a result, Tesfaye Teshome (2009) reported that there are no profound reasons not to continue or discourage eucalyptus planting in Ethiopia.

A study in Arsi Negelle watershed by Amisalu Milkiasa, (2014) stated that most of the farmers (72%) converted part of their agricultural lands into Eucalyptus plantations for different reasons and expanded from of eucalyptus trees from year to year and most of the agricultural land are converted to eucalyptus plantations.

When the person escapes to the forest is to explore and internalize what are its purposes and goals to follow. Ian mentions that explore would be a more prominent idea than it is currently.

These trees, some of them taking more than three thousand years to rise tall, are being cut down.

The story surrounds the unraveling of a relationship and the ultimate fate of both. O’Connor uses the woods not only as the central conflict but also to represent the salvation found in Jesus Christ and the pain it can cause in both acceptance or rejection.

Fresh sunlight penetrates through the branches of the tree, illuminating perfect spheres of water upon its green wands. My numb and almost transparent feet are blanketed by the sweetness of the scene, as the sunlight paints my lips red, my hair ebony, and my eyes honey-like.
