Overview
Forestry Management & Services covers the management of forests and the services that support them — timberland management, reforestation and nurseries, forest health and fire management, and forestry consulting. It serves timberland owners, government agencies, and conservation interests in sustainably managing forest resources.
Demand is driven by sustainable forestry certification, reforestation and restoration, wildfire risk management, and the growing forest-carbon market (managing forests for carbon sequestration and credits). It is a fragmented, expertise-driven segment with emerging interest from carbon and conservation investors; production activities are tracked by the USDA, not the Economic Census.
Market snapshot
Forestry management and support (NAICS 113110/113210/115310) is covered by the USDA census rather than the Economic Census (establishments reported but not receipts), so the segment is not separately sized here.
