Timber and Forestry
Timber and Beyond
Operations involved in forestry and logging, which includes growing and harvesting timber on a long production cycle (i.e., of 10 years or more) or gathering of forest products, such as resins, barks, fibers, Spanish moss, and pinestraw. Such operations require natural forest or suitable areas of land for planting that are available for a long duration. Maturation time for timber depends on the species of tree, climatic conditions, and the intended purpose of the timber. Timber harvesting typically requires specialized machinery that is unique to the industry.
