	Sustainable forestry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The basic tenet of sustainable forestry is that the amount of timber yielded from a forest should be replaced at the level that the stand of trees or a forest is capable of growing without degradation of the soil, watershed features or seed source.
		It is imperative to consider the potential natural vegetation, annual growth and the basal area, combined with the amount of trees per stand to develop a management plan for area sizes from a stand to an ownership through the entire forest, as well as considering the landscape and position of the forest within it.
		If sustainable forestry is an experiment, reserves are the control of that experiment.

	Sustainable Forestry: Why Sustainable Forestry?
		Sustainable forestry provides a way of using trees and non-timber forest products to meet people’s ever-increasing need for lumber, paper and other products, without degrading forest ecosystems.
		Sustainable forestry is a process by which companies adopt more responsible practices: they increase protection of soils, waterways and wildlife, and they treat workers and neighboring communities fairly.
		Under the guidance of SmartWood auditors, more than 1,000 companies in more than 50 countries around the globe are implementing techniques for harvesting and processing the wood they need, while ensuring that forests -- and all of the millions of plant and animal species they harbor -- are conserved for the future.
