Definition
A tree farm, also known as a tree plantation, is a managed area where trees are cultivated for commercial purposes. Think of it as a crop field, but instead of corn or wheat, the harvest is trees. These trees are typically grown for timber, pulpwood (for paper), or Christmas trees. Tree farms help meet the demand for wood products while also providing environmental benefits, such as carbon sequestration and habitat for wildlife. They represent a sustainable approach to forestry, ensuring a continuous supply of timber resources.
