Ecoforestry is a sustainable land management approach that aligns forestry practices with ecological principles to maintain and restore healthy forest ecosystems. In Central Texas, timing forestry activities to coincide with seasonal conditions is crucial for promoting tree health and preventing diseases such as oak wilt. Conducting forestry work during winter and summer, when disease-spreading insects are less active, helps protect trees and supports biodiversity.
