RELMA PUBLICATIONS ARCHIVE

The Regional Land Management Unit (RELMA) was well-known throughout eastern and southern for its easy-to-read books. These include extension manuals, guidebooks on useful trees and project reports. RELMA produced more than 70 publications over two decades. This archive contains about 40 key publications the project produced between 1982 and 2006. Some of the books are also available on CD-ROM.
