People often have big questions about forests. Can forests help slow climate change? Why do forests need care and management? How can someone tell what kind of tree they are looking at? These are important questions, and many can be hard to answer in just a few sentences. That is why the New Jersey Forest Service created Pocket Presentations.Pocket Presentations are a series of videos that explain common forestry topics in clear, simple ways. Some videos are more technical for viewers who want extra detail. To make things easier, each video is divided into chapters so viewers can click to the parts they need.
All Pocket Presentations can be found on the New Jersey DEP YouTube channel, and links are provided below. Anyone with questions, or ideas for future topics, can send a message to AskAForester@deptest.nj.gov.

Have you ever wondered why people manage forests or what we manage them for? If so, this is the perfect Pocket Presentation for you! Today we’ll talk about the prioritization of forest management goals through time and how those goals have changed from when New Jersey’s land was managed by Indigenous people all the way up to present day.

Have you ever heard of the science of silviculture? Silviculture is the study of managing forests for different goals. Whether you want to grow healthy resilient trees, create habitats for all sorts of wildlife, or promote forests that help combat climate change, you need to understand how forests grow, regenerate and the risks they face. Silviculture is a complex science which takes years to study and understand, and we’re very excited to help you start your journey with this video on the three main components of Silviculture.
