See  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forestry <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forestry> for an example.

See https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Forestry <https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Forestry> for other examples.

Some mention restricted meaning "growing timber" but it is certainly not a clear meaning. 

You may prefer to use landuse=logging or something that has a clear meaning
rather than landuse=forestry to tag areas used primarily to grow wood.
