Forestry is the science, art, and craft of creating, managing, using, and conserving forests and associated resources

in a sustainable manner to meet desired goals, needs, and values for human benefit.[1] Forestry is practiced in plantations and natural stands. The main goal of forestry is to create and implement systems that allow forests to continue a sustainable provision of environmental supplies and services.[2] The challenge of forestry is to create systems that are socially accepted while sustaining the resource and any other resources that might be affected.[3] Silviculture, a related science, involves the growing and tending of trees and forests. Modern forestry generally embraces a broad range of concerns, including assisting forests to provide timber as raw material for wood products, wildlife habitat, natural water quality management, recreation, landscape and community protection, employment, aesthetically appealing landscapes, biodiversity management, watershed management, erosion control, and preserving forests as 'sinks' foratmospheric carbon dioxide. A practitioner of forestry is known as a forester. The word "forestry" can also refer to a forest itself.

Forest ecosystems have come to be seen as the most important component of the biosphere,[4] and forestry has emerged as a vital field of science, applied art, andtechnology.

Compost is manure that has aged and will no longer harm the plants you put it on. Fresh Manure will "burn" your plants but once it has sat for a few years all that is left is the nutrition that plants need to grow. Manure is natural fertilizer, as is compost. There are also chemical and inorganic fertilizers. All manures can, with care, be used as fertilizers. Many fertilizers, though, are industrially-produced chemical compounds that have no resemblance whatsoever to manure
