Forest as property edit
There is little here about the value of forest land as property. Land management needs more material. Despite its ecological value, it also has economic value. Not all land is public land which the article seems to assume. --71.245.164.83 (talk) 04:38, 29 December 2010 (UTC)

Should sustainable forest management be merged to here? edit
A discussion has been started on whether sustainable forest management should be merged to here? The discussion is at the talk page of WikiProject Climate Change. I am not sure what to think of that proposal. For now, I have added an excerpt under "types". The question is: what are other types of forest management that are "not sustainable"? Probably every type of forest management will want to be sustainable? Pinging User:InformationToKnowledge. EMsmile (talk) 09:37, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
Merge proposal edit
I propose merging sustainable forest management and Afforestation and Proforestation into Forest management. I think the content in those articles can easily be explained in the context of Forest management, and a merge would not cause any article-size or weighting problems in Forest management.Chidgk1 (talk) 06:42, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Support: Agree with all of the above. InformationToKnowledge (talk) 16:40, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- Undecided: I've voiced my concern about merging sustainable forest management into forest management in the section just above this section. This is an unanswered question to me. Also, have you purposefully left reforestation out of your list of articles to be merged in? I look forward to some forestry people weighing in soon, hopefully. The current setup is certainly rather messy with many similar, overlapping articles. EMsmile (talk) 17:45, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
- I do agree that the first step is to merge sustainable forest management with forest management. There is no justification for a separate article on just the sustainable aspects alone. The next merge I would vote for is to add proforestation to forest management - there is no justification for keeping a separate article on this curious side term. Then we can tackle the other 2 possible mergers ie afforestation and reforestation. Reforestation deals with rehabilitation of natural forest so I would vote it can be merged with forest management. But afforestation is a rather different beast since it deals with the culturing of forests in areas that have never been naturally forested. And there are some very big afforestation projects. What then about the article on forestry which is all inclusive covering both the science and management of forests? Forestry in principle should be the mother article and the ones discussed above sub-articles. The article forest which delineates the ecosystem should remain a standalone. There are several other articles dealing with forestry which might be added to this discussion - Forest farming, the ecosystem approach to forest management -Forest Principles - Forest produce - Forest protection - Forest transition .....
