Forestry, logging and related service activities

This sub-class includes the extraction, gathering and/or production of round wood for the forest-based manufacturing industries. Besides the production of timber, forestry activities result in products that undergo little processing, such as fire wood, charcoal, wood chips and round wood used in an unprocessed form (e.g., pit-props, pulpwood). These activities can be carried out in natural or planted forests. Units in this sub-class are primarily engaged in: - growing of standing timber: - planting - replanting - transplanting - thinning - conserving of forests and/or timber tracts - growing of pulpwood - operation of forest tree nurseries - production of round wood - gathering and/or production of fire wood - production of charcoal in the forest (using traditional methods)
