Sal forest and coniferous forests are predominant in the western part of the district. In the eastern part of Dehradun District, the forests may be divided into a number of Botanical divisions that are mainly Moist Shivalik Sal Forests (low quality of Sal is found in these forests), Moist Bhabar Doon Sal Forests, West Gangetic Moist Deciduous Forests, and Dry Shivalik Sal Forests (these forests are found on the higher slopes of Shivalik hills. In Chakrata tehsil they occur near the junction of the Tons and the Yamuna rivers. Sal is the predominant species found in these forests). Besides these, many other types of forests occur in small belts in the plain of the district.
