[ForestryTools] Forestry-Toolkit Structure

[Abdoul O. Dia]

Hi Lee,

The attachment works well for me. For your previous questions, I still 
believe that we should spend a bit of time on the design to make sure 
that we are heading into the right direction and avoid leaving important 
things a side. We could improve the framework that you've suggested. 
What do you think guys?

Abdoul
