The clearing of woods and forests is the process by which native vegetation, such as trees and shrubs, together with their roots are permanently removed. The main aim of this process is to clear areas of forest, woodland or scrub in order to develop the area for another purpose, such as pasture, arable farming, human settlement or the construction of roads or railways.
