   The third phase forest settlement was from 1893-1947 (Pandey).
             British officers as Sir John Hovet, Sir John Campbell, Sir Buk took interest in Uttarakhand forests and announced rules from Nainital that the unmeasured land, barren land snow borne land, rivers, rivulets, pond-lakes, hills would be called government properties. It is said that the above officers were really the hunters and they did not made rules for forest protection but for protecting hunting jungles.  
           ABC classification of Forests
     In between officials classified forests.
     There was no nominal right for citizens on A class forest.  There was a little bit rights of citizens on B class forests. The citizens have rights on  C class forests or open forests that was nearby villages.  
        Government declared Devdaru, pines, , sal, kail, Shisham, Tun  and Khair trees as Rserved or Royal trees and even the citizens could not cut them from their own land without government permission.
  Government made many restrictions on citizens for using forest and forest produces. Government banned on fishing, hunting without permission. Government officials fined many citizens and many were put in prison. Forest guards (patrol) gave pains to the citizens.
    There was forest settlement from 1911 to 1915.  Government ignored all measurement for last eighty years. Government took control over all forests and citizens were deprived even from plucking leaves. Citizens showed their dissatisfaction, but government ignored citizen demand. In many cases, the agriculture land came under forest. Government paid nominal compensation.
