This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in (1) growing trees for reforestation and/or (2) gathering forest products, such as gums, barks, balsam needles, rhizomes, fibers, Spanish moss, ginseng, and truffles. It does not include maple sap gathering, which is classified in the All Other Crop Farming industry (NAICS 11199). The US Forest Nurseries and Gathering of Forest Products industry either uses its own seeds or purchases seeds or seedlings from a nursery to grow trees in a forest. These trees are grown to replace those felled by the logging industry. Operators sell their tree growing services to timber tract operators, loggers and other businesses engaged in providing services to the forestry industry, such as reforestation consultants.
