Forest management, otherwise known as forestry, is crucial for maintaining overall forest health. Forestry is the science or skill of growing and managing forests to ensure the continuous availability of forest ecosystem services. The process of forest management involves soil and tree evaluations, vegetation, and protection of the forest.
Forest management deals with complex tasks to improve land management and the forest ecosystem's health. Several strategies can be used to manage the forest ecosystem properly. These include timber extraction, tree thinning, planting trees, controlling risks, wildlife management, and conserving and repairing forests and woodlands. These strategies can help boost the yield of resources such as food and fuel while maintaining forest health. Foresters also take care of the forest by preventing and managing the hazards caused by pests, illnesses, and wildfires. Many techniques, such as remote sensing, GIS, and photogrammetry modeling, are now being used to manage and improve forest ecosystems.
