Purpose of forest inventory

The purpose of forest inventory is to obtain reliable information about a forest’s extent, composition, condition, and resources so that sound management decisions can be made. For examinations, you must understand that inventory is not done for its own sake; it supports planning, valuation, harvesting control, monitoring, and sustainable use of the forest.
