Sustainable forestry practices are principles that are put in place to protect and care for forests to make sure that there is continued growth in the area for future trees. Certain things that are done to achieve this sustainability include:

• Checking to see if the forest has enough seeds to promote future growth
• Fencing off the foresting area to keep unwanted animals out
• Prohibiting animals from eating the saplings after they have been planted
• Controlling weeds and other plants
• Removing some trees to allow for plenty of sunlight to shine into the forest.

All of these measures help to ensure that the trees replenish themselves and aren’t removed permanently from that forest, thus rendering it lifeless.
