| Zusammenfassung: | This paper reports regenerations status of trees in two watersheds namely Phakot and Pathri Rao in Uttarakhand. Seedling, sapling and tree density were greater in Phakot watershed forest than those in Pathri Rao watershed forest. In general, both forests were regenerating, although seedling and sapling population was higher in Phakot watershed forest. As far as the regeneration status is concerned, maximum tree species was found with fair regeneration in the forests of both the watersheds. In Phakot watershed, three species (Accacia nilotica, Engelhardtia spicata and Olea glandulifera) and in Pathri Rao watershed seven species (Acacia nilotica, Anogeissus latifolius, Casearia elliptica, Cassia fistula, Holarrhena pubescens, Mallotus phillippensis and Ougeinia oojeinensis) were found not regenerating. In Phakot watershed, general densities–diameters class distribution showed decline in density from small diameter class to higher diameter class whereas in Pathri Rao watershed no trend was evident.
