There is a fine archipelago just offshore and softwood forests grow right to the edge of the Baltic.
Upland forests are primarily Southern Beech, a leftover from when New Zealand was part of the great supercontinent Gondwana.
Beautiful forests of white birch trees can be seen around Lake Shirakaba and on Shiga Highlands and Tateshina Highlands.

Private forests are managed in an ecologically sustainable manner and in close cooperation with public forest managers, to complement the conservation and commercial objectives of public forests.
The goals are to promote nature conservation and sustainable use of forests outside Australia and to ensure that Australia fulfils its obligations under relevant international agreements.
The forests of Texas would be valued even higher if the economic value of other resources such as wildlife, clean water and recreation were considered.

The blue patches are islands of tropical forests created by freshwater springs that emerge through fractures in the limestone bedrock and are most abundant in the vicinity of the buried crater rim.
Managed forests are healthy forests producing unlimited benefits such as: reduced wild land fire, visual appeal, improved elk/deer habitat and of course healthier trees.
Forests were revered by the people and a large number of religious ceremonies centred on trees and plants.

Forests are the ecosystem type most widely distributed in terrestrial areas and with the greatest biomass and biodiversity.
Forests provide sustainably produced wood, opportunities to reduce the level of greenhouse gases, control salinity and improve biodiversity.
Just Forests supports the concept of sustainable development and the wise use of natural resources - in particular wood.
