Wood is one of the prime sources of forest products and it has been consistently used around the globe for thousands of years. The society has possessed good knowledge of timber used for different purposes like agriculture implements, furniture, house construction etc. However, their high exploitation and continues exposure to modernization may results in extinction of the species. Survey was conducted to identify more than 45 timber yielding plants in the forest or outside forest of Telangana State. Diversity of mostly used timber species in Telangana state was recorded, such as Tectona grandis, Mangifera indica, Dalbergia sissoo, Gmelina arborea, Azardirecta indica etc. The main aim of the present study was to identify the diversity of timber yielding plants in state which may help to conserve the timber species for future generation.References
