Nursery Profile: North Carolina Department of Forest Resources F.H. Claridge Nursery

North Carolina Department of Forest Resources F.H. Claridge Nursery in Goldsboro, was founded as the Little River Nursery in 1954, and was one of five nurseries in the Forest Resources Division at the time. The early focus of the nursery was on southern yellow pine species, predominantly loblolly (Pinus taeda) and longleaf (P. palustris) pines. In the early 1960s, the nursery was renamed in honor of F.H. Claridge, a former state forester who was a major proponent of forest nurseries.
