Ecoforestry is forestry that emphasizes holistic practices which strive to protect and restore ecosystems1 rather than maximize economic productivity. Practitioners of ecoforestry eschew practices like clearcutting, high grading, and pesticides.2 Ecoforestry is considered by some to be a traditional practice, whereby people tend to an area of forest, helping it to grow sustainably over many years. Practitioners of ecoforestry claim that their techniques promote self-regulating forest ecosytems with a diversity of species and natural habitats in harmony with landscape, weather, soil, water flows, and animals living there. Ecoforestry has its roots in family homesteads selectively cutting trees for home use.
