Forest Health

Forest health refers to the overall condition and vitality of forest ecosystems, including trees, plants, animals, and the environment they depend on. Healthy forests are resilient, support biodiversity, and perform essential functions like providing clean air, water, and climate regulation. Factors that influence forest health include pests, diseases, invasive species, pollution, climate change, and human activities. Monitoring and maintaining forest health involves managing these threats and promoting practices that sustain the ecosystems’ resilience and productivity for future generations.
