Bhalu Pahad Community Conservation Area is a patch of revenue forest under Simliguda Forest Division. It is protected by the community of Daleiguda Village. The community depend on agriculture for their livelihoods and use the forest trees as firewood. Due to over-exploitation of forest resources and regular cutting of trees the entire forest soon became a barren land and there was an acute scarcity of firewood. Realising the need for conservation the whole community has been striving to protect the forest since then. Two persons are selected for patrolling, and are paid five manas of cereals annually as compensation for their services.
