forest management
Tending timber lands
Forest management is the practice of planning and directing forest resources for specific goals—timber production, wildlife habitat, recreation, or conservation.
It involves decisions about harvesting, replanting, fire prevention, and maintaining ecosystem health.
The forest management plan called for selective cutting rather than clearcutting.
Sustainable forest management balances economic use with long-term ecological preservation.
