Forestry is a branch of science that deals with the management, cultivation, and study of forests, trees, and related natural resources. It is a broad field that encompasses a range of disciplines, including biology, ecology, geology, and social science, and involves the study of the management and conservation of forests, the management of timber and other forest products, and the study of the ecological and social impacts of forests and forestry practices.

Environmental science is a multidisciplinary field that encompasses the study of the natural world and the relationships between humans and the environment. It involves the study of the physical, chemical, and biological processes that shape the Earth’s ecosystems and the ways in which human activity impacts these processes. Environmental science draws from a range of disciplines, including biology, chemistry, physics, geology, and sociology, and is concerned with understanding the impacts of human activity on the environment and developing strategies for mitigating these impacts.

While forestry is closely related to environmental science, it is not the same field. However, many of the principles and practices of forestry are closely aligned with the goals of environmental science, and the two fields often intersect and overlap in areas such as the management and conservation of forests, the study of the impacts of forestry practices on the environment, and the development of sustainable land use practices.
