Forest management practices

Forest management involves planning and implementing strategies to sustain healthy forests. This includes planting trees, thinning overgrown areas, controlling pests, and protecting wildlife habitats. The goal is to balance environmental health, economic benefits, and recreation. Proper management ensures forests continue to provide timber, clean air and water, and recreational opportunities, while also conserving biodiversity. It involves monitoring forest conditions, applying sustainable harvest methods, and restoring degraded areas, all to maintain forest function now and into the future.
