Forest Practices Act

The Forest Practices Act is legislation that governs how forests are managed, particularly concerning logging and land use. Its primary goals are to ensure sustainable forestry practices, protect wildlife habitats, and minimize environmental impacts, such as soil erosion and water pollution. This law typically sets guidelines for tree harvesting, replanting efforts, and road construction within forested areas. By regulating these activities, the act aims to balance economic interests in timber production with the need to preserve ecosystems for future generations.
