The Importance Of Forestry Management Services

By Ina Hunt


A forest is also better known by many as simply the woods. It is very aptly named so, because a forest is an area that houses a high concentration of trees of varying species. It covers about thirty percent of the total land area, but today this percentage is somehow diminishing due to unrestrained and illegal logging.

Most people are afraid to get inside the vast expanse of a forest where many wild creatures abound. These organisms can either be endemic, or found in only a very specific part of the world, or endangered, or those species that are nearly extinct. Endangered species are automatically protected wildlife so that they will not die out. For a higher degree of protection, the government installed forestry management services in South Carolina and other states where the forest growth is still healthy to avoid for it to be totally deforested.

There are many types of forests, and they are all under the umbrella of one governing body which is the forestry management. Boreal ones are found in the subarctic zones. These are home to coniferous trees and evergreen ones.

Temperate zones are those that reinforce the growth of deciduous species of broad leaf trees. They also support the coniferous and evergreen ones, just like the boreal type. This makes for temperate forests to have more dense growths that the former type. Tropical woodlands, including those that are categorized to be subtropical, are generally found in the tropics. These support species that need moist as an integral part of survival.

Forestry, in a completely related matter, is the science of managing the natural resources that one usually gets from forest lands. Forestry is tasked to oversee the understanding and wise usage of wood products. It is also tasked with keeping the wood population in check to avoid the complete depletion of woodlands in the country. They are also the ones that start reforestation practices to allow for the increased population of wood species and their inhabitants.

The main goals is the creation and implementation of systems that protect forests and at the same time provide the public with supplies and services that can be only derived from the woodlands. Their greatest challenge is having to balance economy with environment. They have to ensure that the systems they come up with are environmentally friendly without depriving the wood industry of a means of livelihood.

These systems lead to appropriate forest management. This department follow preset codes and rules that allow one to manage this bio diverse areas in an ecologically sustainable manner. Management teams from all over the world meet up frequently to discuss weak points in the rules set by a governing board. After much deliberation and thorough study, they come up with newer sets of rules that are customized to fit forestry needs of each region.

The services they provide include the regulation of timber sales. They set a healthy limit for every logging company so that everyone is given a fair share without totally depleting the supply. They also take the time to measure each log and raw wood if it measures to the set rules. This way, it is easy to determine if these loggers have cut down young trees which are against the set ordinances.

One must take part in the preservation of woodlands because they bring about many good things for people. They are beneficial for the economy. They can also provide avenues for improved recreation and tourism.
