Eucalyptus tree is expanding on farm lands of Ethiopia at an alarming rate and efforts of local authorities to control this expansion have become sources of conflict and wide spread grievances among smallholder farmers in Gurage Zone. Focus Group Discussion, key Informant Interviews as well as Household Survey were used as data collection methods. The result from the ordered logit estimation indicated households' perception to be influence by demographic and socio-economic factors such as age and educational level of household head and total land holding. Households, who have favorable perception towards eucalyptus tree, continue planting it despite the negative perception of experts and local officials and their efforts to control its expansion. The formulation and effective implementation of policy regarding eucalyptus trees and undertaking continuous awareness raising programs are essential measures needed to win the support of farmers in controlling the expansion of eucalyptus tree which is essential for a sustainable use of rural lands.
