Forest conservation is the practice of planting and maintaining forested areas for the benefit and sustainability of future generations. Forest conservation involves the upkeep of the natural resources within a forest that are beneficial to both humans and the environment. This paper attempts an insightful look at the contributions of forest conservation in Ngongbaa on agricultural land use change and how it affects crop production and subsequently the population. This approach considers forest as an important asset to the entire rural community and forest conservation as an obstacle to their development. The methodology used consisted of data collection through interviews, questionnaire administration, participant observation and on-the-spot appraisal. The findings revealed that forest conservation is hindering crop production which directly affects the provision of basic needs like food, clothing and home heating. There is the need for creating an enabling environment which will assist indigenes without making them become miserable such as; encouraging indigenes to carryout apicultural activities in and out of the forest, promote and encourage farmers to carry out agroforestry activities, as well as encouraging indigenes through financial aid to carry out small and medium size trade. This will help to boost their income and diversify their rural activities.
