Foresting is method of gathering resources. Foresting involves the player having the villagers cut down nearby trees. The logs can then be used in building structures or creating firewood to cook food and heat citizens's houses.

The Forester's Lodge enables foresters to cut down nearby trees but also to re-plant them.

Deforestation should be limited, as it has an effect on the deer population and also means that cures for illnesses are lost forever, as only forests many decades old may provide a cures for a diseases.
