Data for the study werelargely collected using focus group discussions (FGDs) of men and women tree growers. Data were analysed using content analysis focusingon the emerging themes, subthemes, and patterns. The paper shows that gender division of labour characterizes silvicultural practices in privateforestry. Men play a key and dominant role in decision making on the allocation of labour and marketing of timber. We argue that, given thisarrangement, as long as men continue to dominate the market sphere, mere ownership of woodlots by women is not a feasible pathway to havingcontrol over income obtained from the sales of timber from their woodlots. To address this, the paper comes up with some recommendations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: 'comic sans ms', sans-serif;\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> intra-household gender relations, women, participation, non-industrial private forestry, Tanzania<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Published on 05th May 2021 The Department would like to congratulate&nbsp;Prof. D.L.
