In Forestry, players become forest stewards managing sustainable woodlands. The game balances resource harvesting with environmental conservation, where every decision impacts forest health. Players plant trees and manage water systems while learning real forestry practices.

As a Eurogame, Forestry features a dual-worker system: a harvester who fells trees, plants saplings and builds infrastructure, and a manager who handles resources and contract fulfilment. Players must strategically allocate action points between workers to maintain sustainability whilst meeting production demands.
