    The present work was to develop an inventory and study of the structure of natural forest tree in the farm “El Porvenir”, sector El Morado, Guaranda Canton, Bolivar Province, Ecuador, which was limited to a stand of 2100 m2 and which is located between 3177 and 3270 m, which belongs to the characterization of wet montane cloud forest (bh-Mn) due to the presence of large number of clouds or fog, with a relief that ranges from steep to mountainous with slopes between 50 and 90%. For the characterization of tree species proceeded to the collection of sources secondary information of various universities, where there was a thorough consultation of scientific work nationally and internationally, and on the practice continued ongoing meetings with community members who have explained the purpose of work and requested their participation to identify the different spices existing tree in the stand by their common names, and then proceed to the characterization and study of each species which was developed forestry inventory of this stand. After performing field data collection, information was processed by management, coding and tabulation, and then be statistically analyzed using descriptive statistics with emphasis on measures of central tendency and dispersion and end with the drawing of conclusions and recommendations. The main results were: In the stand were 154 individuals, divided into 20 tree species, the same as were Tarqui (Hedyosmum cuatrecazanum Occhioni) Arrayán (Myrcianthes rhopaloides) Fololon (Solanum oblongifolium Dunal). Coco – Pandala (Prunus rough Koehne), Canyon (Miconia pustulata Nadin), Quishuar (Buddleja bullata Kunth), Tabasquero (Geissanthus andinus), Cedar (Cedrela cumina), Fern (Cyathea sp.) Motilón (Meliosma sandy Idro. & Cuatrec .) Aguacatillo (Persea mutisii Kunth), Husk (Cinchona pubescens Vahi), white Cedrillo (Ruagea cumina), Caglán (Bocconia frutescens L.), cation (Saurauia tomentosa HBK Spreng), Fig Tree (Ficus dulciaria Dugand), white Lopaz (Verbesina nudipens Blake), Alder (Alnus 144 cuminate Kuntk) Cedrillo (Ruagea pubescens) and pumamaqui (Oreopanax ecuadorensis) prevailing Tarqui trees, myrtle and Fololon and to a lesser extent those of pumamaqui. 71% of the trees showed the dominant category, 24% of co-dominant and the remaining 5% category dominated. Of the 154 trees, 63,0% have less than 10 m height, 16,9% from 10 to 20 m, and 20,1% higher at 20 m altitude, prevailing in both trees have heights less than 10 m. According to the values taken mensuration, tree species had an average height of 15,75 + 5,70 m, thickness of the crust of 0,99 +1,61 cm, 28,73+9,94 cm DBH, basal area of 0,073+0,044 m2 and 0,044 timber volume of 0,85 +0,71 m3. Considering that natural forests are in danger of extinction, it is recommended reforestation projects and protection of forests for which action should be taken to create protected areas, exploitation of natural resources conservation, creating gene banks and to promote actions education to form a new vision regarding our relationship with nature
