This research to know lands use change from peat bog forest to industrial forest Acacia crassicarpa on physical and chemical properties of peat soil. This research had been done in area of PT. BBHA, Bukit Batu subdistrict, Bengkalis, started from May until July 2013. Method of this research was survey with use purposive sampling. The data was analysed by descriptive and graphics model. The parameters were detected namely particle size distribution, bulk density, particle density, porosity, pH, organic carbon, total nitrogen, total phosphor and Base Cations (K, Ca, Mg, Na). The result of research show that lands use change from peat bog forest to industrial forest Acacia crassicarpa was increasing and repairing some physical and chemical properties of peat soil, total of smalles particle, bulk density, particle density, pH, organic carbon, total nitrogen, total phosphor and Base Cations (K, Ca, Mg, Na).Keywords: peat bog, plantation forest, physical properties, chemical properties
