Dorest farming principles constitute an ecological approach to forest man- agement. Forest resources are judiciously used while biodiversity and wildlife habitat are conserved. Forest farms have the potential to restore eco- logical balance to fragmented second growth forests through intentional manipulation to create the desired forest ecosystem. Forest farming is a type of agroforestry practice characterized by the "four I's": intentional, integrated, intensive and interactive. Agroforestry is a land man- agement system that combines trees with crops or livestock, or both, on the same piece of land. It focuses on increasing benefits to the landowner as well as maintaining forest integrity and environmental health.
