Forestry

Forestry is the science and practice of managing forests and woodlands to balance environmental, economic, and social needs. This includes planting, caring for, and harvesting trees while maintaining biodiversity, wildlife habitats, and ecosystem health. Foresters work to ensure sustainable development, which means finding ways to use forest resources—like timber, water, and recreational opportunities—without depleting them for future generations. Effective forestry also contributes to combatting climate change by storing carbon dioxide, protecting soil, and conserving water resources, making it a crucial field for our planet's health and our society's well-being.
