Definition
This class consists of units mainly engaged in growing standing timber in native forests or in plantations or in timber tracts. The Australian Forestry industry buys raw materials such as seedlings from forest nurseries as well as fertilisers and various pesticides from chemical wholesalers plus services such as reforestation, conservation or plantation maintenance, and forest fire fighting from the Services to Forestry industry. The industry grows trees either for the future purpose of logging, or conservation. Forestry companies are paid for such services by Federal, State or Local Government or by private landholders (in the case of plantations), which include logging businesses.
