What is forest science?

Forest science is the study of forests, trees, and related natural resources, focusing on their management, conservation, and sustainable use. It combines principles from biology, ecology, environmental science, and resource management to understand forest ecosystems and how they interact with human activities. Forest scientists often work on issues such as timber production, wildlife habitat, forest health, and climate change mitigation. Careers in forest science can include research, forest management, policy development, and education.
