Penelitian ini menganalisis implementasi kegiatan pemeliharaan tahun pertama (P1) dalam program Rehabilitasi Hutan dan Lahan (RHL) Model UPSA di Desa Motinelo, Kabupaten Gorontalo, dengan fokus pada strategi adaptif untuk mengatasi tantangan kematian bibit akibat kondisi musim kemarau. Dilaksanakan dari Oktober hingga Desember 2025, penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan observasional dengan pemantauan lapangan sistematis pada lahan seluas 2 hektar yang dikelola oleh Kelompok Tani Hutan (KTH) "Mentari Hijau". Pengumpulan data melibatkan observasi langsung, wawancara, dan dokumentasi visual terhadap delapan aspek kegiatan pemeliharaan tahun pertama sesuai dengan pedoman teknis RHL. Temuan penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa distribusi bibit ke lubang tanam telah dilaksanakan secara lengkap dengan total 2.000 bibit yang terdiri dari Nyatoh (250 batang), Nangka (250 batang), Alpukat Biji (1.000 batang), dan Alpukat Okulasi (500 batang). Namun, tingkat kematian bibit mencapai 35%, dengan angka tertinggi pada Alpukat Biji (40%) akibat musim kemarau yang berkepanjangan. Pemeliharaan teknik konservasi tanah telah dilaksanakan pada seluruh area seluas 2 hektar, dengan teras bangku (60%) dan teras gulud (40%). Aplikasi hidrogel sebanyak 3 kg terbukti sebagai strategi adaptif yang efektif, sementara kegiatan penyiangan dan pendangiran baru mencapai 60% dari total area. Analisis lebih lanjut mengungkapkan bahwa dominasi Hasil Hutan Bukan Kayu (62,5%) mencerminkan strategi KTH dalam mengoptimalkan manfaat ekonomi jangka pendek. Temuan ini memberikan kontribusi penting dalam pengembangan strategi adaptif dalam implementasi program RHL pada fase kritis pemeliharaan tahun pertama, terutama di wilayah dengan pola cuaca yang tidak menentu. Implikasi praktis meliputi kebutuhan penguatan kapasitas teknis petani hutan, pengembangan sistem pemantauan yang responsif, serta integrasi pengetahuan lokal dengan rekomendasi teknis berbasis ilmu pengetahuan untuk meningkatkan ketahanan program RHL terhadap fluktuasi iklim yang semakin tidak dapat diprediksi. Studi ini membuktikan bahwa kombinasi teknik konservasi tanah dengan aplikasi hidrogel dapat secara signifikan meningkatkan tingkat kelangsungan hidup bibit di wilayah yang rentan terhadap perubahan iklim.
