About the Forest

Forestry Management Practices
To help the trees grow stronger I would clear the lower insignificant trees to make room for the oaks and bigger trees to grow, and also to help them get the nutrients they need. I would do my best to keep the forest healthy, by getting rid of weeds and things that would put the trees in danger.
To help the wildlife I would remove some trees that looked like they could fall over soon. I would also remove trees that looked like, if they were to fall over, they would endanger other parts of the forest. This would make it so that the wildlife has a safe environment to live in.
For aesthetic appeal I would most likely clear some trees if some trees look too cluttered in an area, or if there were dead trees that fell over. I would also trim some trees and plants, so that there would be a cleaner look to the forest and I would also just do my best to keep all of the trees healthy, so that they don't look gross.
