As well as the natural sciences, like biology, chemistry and physics, forestry involves the social sciences - the study of human behaviour and society. Forests provide many important benefits to people and communities.
Social forestry is the study of things like:
- How people interact with forests
- How foresters can improve engagement with local communities
- How forests support employment and rural economies
- How forests contribute to health and wellbeing
As a public body, the Forestry Commission has been particularly active in this area, but private forestry companies also make use of social forestry.
