The forested tract of Jaldapara has been under the control of the forest department since 1886 and under systematic management through prescriptions of Dr William Schlich in 1874-75. The first management plan maintains salt licks, glades, wallows, cultivation of fodder in glades. It stressed the need for maintaining fire lines. To save grasslands from being swamped by Mikania species, experiments for its eradication were initiated. To arrest xeric succession in plants, cutting back of trees was initiated on an experimental scale.
