The Menoreh Slope Bamboo Civilization has so far been managed ecologically and collaboratively to improve the welfare of the community in Ngargoretno Village, Salaman District, Magelang Regency, Central Java. Ngargoretno Village is one of the villages on the slopes of the Menoreh hills on the north side, Salaman District, Magelang Regency, Central Java. One of the endemic plants planted to prevent landslides, floods and droughts in the Ngargoretno Village area is local native bamboo, such as petung bamboo, ori bamboo, apple bamboo, wulung bamboo and so on.

Bamboo on the Ngargoretno slopes of the Menoreh hill for the community has a value that is inseparable from people's lives to this day, because it is still used as a material component in house construction, starting from poles, pegs, roof frames and house ropes. With the various historical, cultural and natural potential that the Ngargoretno village has above, with the existence of a sustainable bamboo conservation program and also the use of bamboo not only as a building material, it is hoped that it can be used as other derivative products that have higher economic value, so that it can increase the income of the people of Ngargoretno Village.

This sustainable bamboo conservation and bamboo utilization training program collaborates with Lecturer in the Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Study Program, Faculty of Agricultural Technology, Udayana University, Mrs. Dr. Ir. Pande Ketut Diah Kencana, MS. The training was held on 14-17 September 2023 and the participants in this training were Mrs. KWT and PKK of Ngargoretno village. The training provided is processing bamboo into several derivative products that can increase the economic value of bamboo, in this case what is used is betung bamboo with several training programs, including; processing of bamboo shoots, bamboo charcoal briquettes, bamboo stem liquid smoke and bamboo leaf herbal tea. The participants were very enthusiastic about taking part because it was the first time that training on derivative products like this had been carried out, so that their understanding of bamboo which they felt neglected was more open to paying more attention to bamboo, so that it was hoped that sustainable bamboo development could be implemented well and seriously, and the position of Ngargoretno Village which was on a slope. Menoreh Hill will be preserved in conservation.
