science and practice of forest management
The study and work of taking care of forests, growing trees, and using forest land in a planned way.
Μοτίβο χρήσης:
[someone] works in forestry
Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes say *"a forestry"* to mean a forest. "Forestry" is usually uncountable and refers to the field or activity, not to a single forest. Say "a forest" or "a forestry project", not *"a forestry"*. Learners may also confuse "forestry" with "woodworking"; woodworking is about making things from wood, while forestry is about managing forests.
Συνώνυμα
forest management (More general and descriptive; often used in non-technical contexts, while "forestry" can sound more like a professional or academic field.)
|
silviculture (A more specialized technical term focusing mainly on the growing and tending of trees, rather than the whole field of forestry.)
Αντώνυμα
deforestation (Refers to the removal of forests, often without sustainable management, which is the opposite goal of most forestry work.)
