Abstract: Baoshan city is distributed with a large number of forest lands. Forestry is not only the main position for the construction of ecological civilization in rural areas, but also an important way to develop rural economy and promote farmers' income. However,in reality, the role of forestry in rural revitalization has not been fully played. This paper summarizes the achievements of forestry in promoting rural revitalization in Baoshan city, analyzes its shortcomings, and puts forward countermeasures and suggestion on how to better promote rural revitalization in order to provide reference for the implementation of forestry in rural revitalization in Yunnan province.
