Outline of forestry

The following outline is provided as an overview of and guide to forestry:
Forestry – the art and science of managing forests, tree plantations, and related natural resources. Forest ecosystems have come to be seen as the most important component of the biosphere, and forestry has emerged as a vital field of science, natural resource management, applied art, and technology. The main goal of forestry is to create and implement socio-environmental systems that allow forests to continue a   sustainable continuation of environmental supplies and services. The challenge of forestry is to create systems that are socially accepted while sustaining the resource and any other resources that might be affected.
