Explanation:
défends, defend, défens (1119) Sylv. 1. Interdiction de pacage dans un bois. 2. Interdiction faite au propriétaire d'un bois d'y faire une coupe.
[Larousse Lexis]

(pacage = grazing)

Don't know the forestry term for it, but simply "prohibited" (l’exploitation n’est pas possible et actuellement prohibée par l’entreprise) should get you out of the woods.
