Forest Practices Code

The Forest Practices Code is a set of regulations designed to ensure sustainable forest management. It outlines guidelines for harvesting timber while protecting the environment, wildlife habitats, and water quality. Implemented by governments, the code helps balance economic interests with ecological protection. It includes practices such as reforestation, controlled logging techniques, and planning to minimize impact on surrounding ecosystems. Essentially, it seeks to promote responsible forestry that meets present needs without compromising the health of forests for future generations.
