An essential element relevant to forest sustainability is the state of health of the stand. Health conditions of trees can be affected by both biotic and abiotic elements. This study aims to identify tree damage in the protected blocks of the Bunder Forest Park (Tahura) in Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta, using three parameters: damage location, damage type, and severity level. Observations were carried out in three clusters using the Forest Health Monitoring (FHM) method in protection block. The results showed that 16 trees were categorized as healthy, 41 threes experieced minor damage, and 10 threes had moderate damage. The most frequent damage location on individual trees was found on the lower trunk. The most commonly observed type of damage was open wounds. The most frequent severity level was 20%, which indicates a low level of damage. Nevertheless, it is necessary to conduct monitoring of tree health in order to facilitate the sustainable management of the Tahura Bunder forest reserve.
