Forest management is the practice of planning and implementing strategies to ensure the sustainable and responsible use of forest resources. This includes activities such as monitoring and assessing the health of forest ecosystems, managing timber harvests, controlling invasive species, preventing wildfires, and protecting wildlife habitats. Forest management aims to balance the economic, ecological, and social benefits of forests while minimizing negative impacts on the environment. It often involves collaboration between government agencies, landowners, conservation organizations, and local communities to develop and implement effective forest management plans.
