(Latin: woods, forest)

silviculture
1. The cultivation of woods and forests.
2. The art and science of controlling the establishment, growth, composition, health, and quality of forests to meet a variety of needs and values for landowners and society on a sustainable basis.

Believe it or not! A French advertisement makes the following declaration:

Don't believe everything you hear
The truth is
Paper isn't destroying forests

In France, the fibers for manufacturing paper and cardboard come from:
  • recycled paper and cardboard (60 percent).
  • forest management, silviculture and woodchips from sawmills (40 percent).
France recycles more paper and cardboard than any other product, and French forests are growing by 50,000 hectares a year.
