The main measures include: First, focus on training and building mechanisms to build a strong mediation team. The Mediation Center held a training class on the mediation of forest rights disputes, focusing on the "Knowledge of laws, regulations and policies for mediating the "three major disputes" in rural areas", "General methods and techniques for organizing dispute parties to mediate", "Mediating the "three major disputes" in rural areas "Legal procedures that should be followed in cases" and "Things that should be paid attention to in the process of mediating the "three major disputes" in rural areas". We compiled and printed more than 2,000 copies of the "Selection of Laws, Regulations and Policies for the Mediation of Three Major Rural Disputes" and relevant materials on mediation procedures, and formulated the "Management System for Mediation Personnel of the Luzhai County Mediation Center". The second is to resolve years of disputes by starting with family ties.

In the afternoon of the same day, personnel from the county and township mediation offices rushed to the scene of the incident and quickly separated the people on both sides to mediate separately.

Persuasion. Five hours later, representatives from the two villages finally reached an agreement and delineated the mountain boundary. Starting from the family card like this, *** mediated more than 20 mountain forest disputes. The third is to use more mediation and less adjudication, and use mediation to resolve conflicts. For the mediation of mountain forest ownership disputes, the county mediation center requires the township rectification working groups to organize the parties involved to briefly mediate on-site for disputes arising from forestry reform, and then the forestry reform working group and village and village groups will mediate again, and adjust the lines. If the case cannot be solved, the case will be handed over to the township mediation team to collect materials and then be adjusted again. If the case cannot be reconciled, then the mediation center will be asked for guidance and assistance in mediation. By adopting the working method of first easy and then difficult work, we try to achieve more mediation and less ruling. The case is concluded, but the mediation cannot be left undecided for a long time, so as to achieve a combination of mediation and arbitration. On the afternoon of October 22, the County Mediation Center successfully reconciled the dispute over more than 8,000 acres of mountain forest between the Oil Pressing Villagers Group of the Pingshan Town Zhayou Village Committee and the Xincun Villagers Group. The fourth is to provide regular statistical reports and strengthen experience exchanges. The mediation center holds regular mediation meetings every Monday, and reports statistics on the investigation and mediation work of forest reform disputes in each township to the county mediation center before the 14th and 27th of each month. If conflicts intensify and special situations such as group fighting or group petitions may occur, reports must be made at any time, and achievements and good experiences and practices must be summarized and promoted throughout the county.
