Essential Roles 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.

A forest is very important as it is one of the major venues for a healthy and positively thriving ecosystems. It is also the home of many species of animals, some of them considered as critically underpopulated and endangered. Virgin rainforests are biodiversity areas that support the lives of most endemic species. Without these biodiversity points, life on earth will gradually fade away. This makes for the extreme importance of the woods that they are protected by forestry management services in South Carolina.

As there are many different types of plant and animal life that abound in the woods, it is totally unsurprising to note that there are also varied types of these woods. One type, for instance, only caters to evergreen species and those that sport cones. This kind of greenery is called by forest experts as the boreal type.

Deciduous types are the complete opposite or the boreal types. If the former supports only the evergreens, only those that shed of their leaves live on the latter. The temperate is a mix of both, as it supports both type of trees. Tropical plants and woods that thrive off from the power of sunlight only grows in the tropical forests which are also endemic to tropical countries that enjoy eternal sunshine.

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.

For a more effective implementation of equity, management service teams are formed in states and areas where there is still a healthy number of forest trees. They are the ones who will create, implement, and supervise certain regulations and policies for the protection of forests.

The management department also operates on every state in the country. They regulate the sale of timber products. They also see to it that those in the wood industry operate in strict compliance to the rules in a chivalrous attempt to preserve virgin forests in their areas of jurisdiction.

Finally, the task of keeping the woods alive should not be entrusted only to a special group. Every inhabitant must develop a sense of environmental awareness. If everyone would just participate, then the earth will be a better place to be in.
