Forestry is one of the oldest and important fields of study. Basically, forestry is the study of the creation, proper usage, management of the resources and practicing proper conservation methods of our forests. There are many governmental and private groups that work to try to and ensure that the natural resources of the forests are protected so that they will be available for future generations.

The history of forestry can be traced back hundreds of years to 7th Century Visigoths who were one of the first groups to practice a type of forestry to protect a growing shortage of wood. Over the years forestry has evolved into a science which deals with the various types of trees, where they grow, usage of trees and replanting them. Forestry is a science where thousands of people annually take this field of study in college.
