Description of forest: Tree growth is somewhat better than in Rangapura Forest, Badangod village. A visual estimate shows about 50% of unassigned bettas are encroached and cultivated mainly by cotton. The basal area/ha is around 12-15 sq.m/ha. This needs to enhanced to 30-35 sq.m through consistent programmes. The forest could have been of semi-evergreen nature once; but today there is hardly any evidence that this forest was of such kind as most trees are deciduous, obviously because of desiccation due to large gaps and periodical ground fires in summer. The ponds downside of the forest had very little water in January itself the level of which was below the sluice gate level. The arecanut farmers in the command area seem to be relying on bore wells for irrigation.
Of the tree growth noted were: Anogeissus latifolia (mostly stumps), Bridelia retusa, Butea monosperma, Careya arborea, Cordia wallichi,  Dalbergia latifolia, Ficus spp., Madhuca latifolia, Phyllanthus emblica, Pterocarpus marsupium, Streblus asper, Syzygium cumini, Tectona grandis (mostly reduced to stumps), Terminalia bellirica, Terminalia tomentosa, Vitex altissima, Xantolis tomentosa etc. Bambusa arundinacea is frequent and the forest is densely infested with weeds, prominently Eupatorium. Among the shrubs and climbers noticed were Aristolochia indica, Allophyllus serratus, Embelia pteriam-cottam,  Carissa carandas, Ichnocarpus frutescenc, Moullava spicata, Naravelia zeylanica, Smilax macrophylla, Tarenna asiatica etc.The presence of isolated large trees indicate that once it was a high stature forest.

Threats: Deforestation for cultivation (mainly cotton) has taken a good toll of the betta forests. The other forest patch is also degraded and densely infested with weeds.
