  The science or practice of studying, caring for and managing forests What is Forestry?

  A large area covered mostly by trees or understory What’s a Forest?

 What About City Trees?

 Do Cities Need Trees?

 Expansive Forests

 Massachusetts Forest  62% Forested (1998 USDA Survey)  Provides:  Clean air  Clean water  Wildlife/Habitat  Recreation  Aesthetics  Products  Maple Syrup

 Natural Benefits of Massachusetts Forests  Clean air  Clean water  Wildlife/Habitat  Recreation  Aesthetics

 Clean Air  Remove pollutants (carbon dioxide, ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide)  Reduce temperature through shade and transpiration

 Clean Water  Phytoremediation (pollutants absorbed through roots)  Roots reduce soil erosion  Canopy provides cover/reduces soil runoff into water

 Habitat  Provide variety of ecosystems and habitats  Vernal pools – amphibians, crustaceans

 Recreation and Aesthetics  Outdoor activities (hiking, hunting, fishing, birding, cross-country skiing, etc.)  Fall foliage

 Economical Benefits  Wood Products  Maple Syrup

 Wood Products  Fire wood  Furniture  Lumber  Wood pallets  Flooring  More…

 Maple Syrup  1 gallon of Maple Syrup = 40 gallons of maple sap boiled down + =

  Forest management is a branch of forestry concerned with the overall administrative, economic, legal and social aspects and with the essentially scientific and technical aspects, especially silviculture, protection, and forest regulation. What is Forest Management?

 Types of Forest Management  Thinning Harvest  Clearcut Harvest  Shelterwood Harvest  Seed Tree Harvest  Group Selection Harvest  Single-Tree SelectionHarvest  Prescribed Burn  Reforestation

 Questions?
