\nFORESTRY
\n<\/strong>Description of forest
\n<\/strong>A forest is an ecological habitat where trees, animals and many other plant co-exist. A forest is made up of groups of trees and other living things. Shrubs, herbs, lower plants and microscopic organisms grow under the trees. A forest also serve as a home for many kinds of animals such as antelope, grass cutter, elephant, hare, monkeys, etc. The study and management of forests and forest resource is known as forestry. Simply put forestry is the study and care of all the living organisms which live in the forest.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Forest Resources (Products)
\n<\/strong>The two major components of forests are trees and wild animals (wild life). Forest trees: <\/strong>Tree species are widely spread in the forest. Forest reserves in Southern Nigeria contain most of the timber species of economic importance such as Teak, Neem (Dogoyaro). The table below shows a list of some timber species of economic value in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
