managed forests
Tended timber tracts
Managed forests are woodlands where human intervention guides tree growth, harvesting, and regeneration according to planned objectives.
These objectives typically include timber production, wildlife habitat preservation, watershed protection, or carbon sequestration—often several goals at once.
Unlike old-growth forests left to natural processes, managed forests undergo selective cutting, replanting, and monitoring to maintain desired conditions.
