The knowledge and awareness of community forest managers about the importance of forest health are still relatively low, especially in community forests based on rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) plantations. Whereas through forest health measurement, reliable data and information will be obtained that can be used to ensure the quantity and quality of community forests as a form of management decisions for community forest managers. This study aimed to determine the health status of rubber plantation-based community forests in Ujung Gunung Village, Menggala District, Tulang Bawang Regency. The stages of implementing this research include: determining the number of clusters based on management prescriptions (planting year and spacing), making cluster plots based on the design of Forest Health Monitoring (FHM) clusters, collecting data by measuring forest health indicators (productivity, vitality and site quality) based on the FHM technique, data processing and analysis were carried out by calculating forest health values. The results showed that the health status of rubber community forests had a range of values from 3.97 to 7.03. The average value of forest health based on rubber plants in Ujung Gunung Village, Menggala District, Tulang Bawang Regency is 5.59, which is included in the medium value range. Thus, the value of community forest health status is moderate.
Pentingnya pengetahuan perihal kesehatan hutan yaitu diperlukan untuk mengetahui gangguan yang terjadi, sehingga perlu dilakukan pemantauan kesehatan hutan secara berkala. Pemantauan kesehatan hutan adalah salah satu cara untuk menjamin kelestarian hutan salah satunya hutan mangrove. Pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman anggota Kelompok Tani Hutan (KTH) Lestari Indah mengenai penggunaan Sistem Informasi Penilaian Kesehatan Hutan (SIPUT). Sasaran pengabdian ini adalah anggota KTH Lestari Indah. Tingkat pemahaman peserta perlu diketahui sehingga dilakukannya evaluasi melalui dua tahap yaitu evaluasi awal (pre-test) dan evaluasi akhir (post-test) dengan cara pemberian kuesioner. Hasil perhitungan menunjukkan bahwa terjadi peningkatan pemahaman peserta tentang penggunaan software penilaian kesehatan hutan yaitu dengan rerata nilai pre-test dan post-test masing-masing sebesar 61,125% dan 80,125%. Persentase kenaikan pengetahuan peserta dari hasil pre-test dan post-test adalah 19%. Oleh karena itu, penggunaan software SIPUT merupakan media yang tepat untuk mempermudah penilaian kondisi kesehatan hutan mangrove.
