Forest management
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Forest management includes a range of human interventions that affect forest ecosystems. They include policies for cutting trees for timber, planting and replanting of various species, cutting roads and pathways through forests and techniques for preventing or controlling outbreaks of fire.
In developed countries, the environmental movement has increased public awareness of natural resource policy, including forest management. As a direct result, primary concerns regarding forest management have shifted from the extraction of timber to other forest resources including wildlife, watershed management, wilderness and recreation. This shift in public values has also caused many in the public to mistrust resource management professionals. [1]
