Forestry

Forestry is the science and art of cultivating (i.e. growing and tending) forest crops. No matter if it concerns cold coniferous woods, moderate deciduous forests or tropical palm forests. It goes without saying that these different forests require different approaches. The economic aspects are very diverse. Obviously forests from which balms, resins and gums have to be obtained for pharmaceutical purposes, rubber and the paint industry require another approach than forests which produce oils, fruit and nuts, among other things, for consumption. And then there are forests for recreational or forestry purposes. Maybe forestry – in all its aspects - is the most important science of the century! AquaPro can play an important role in all these aspects!

The wood processing industry often comprises more than people usually think. For example, wood remainders such as branches, leaves and carpentry waste, are used for the production of cellulose, which in its turn serves as a basis for the production of synthetic fibres, pharmaceutical products, paints/varnish and in lots of chemical products. Furthermore, wood is used for and in nearly everything man makes and builds. Literally everything a tree produces, can be used. Everyone who watches closely what is going on around him, cannot avoid a “wood” application. If you cannot see wood, then it is incorporated in clothes or in the synthetic of the computer (by means of refined wood tar or cellulose) which you use to watch this site. Wood is also incorporated in every book we read and in nearly every packing material of whichever product.
