Administrative context
Where this code is used
This division is used when the first pass is too broad and the work needs to be split into groups such as Silviculture and other forestry activities, Logging, and Gathering of non-wood forest products. It helps with registration wording, sector analytics and review of near-miss options.
Selection note
How to choose it
Use this division as the first narrowing step. Compare child groups such as Silviculture and other forestry activities, Logging, and Gathering of non-wood forest products and move to the group that best matches the real activity, not the marketing description.
Official note
Source-backed description
This division includes the production of roundwood for the forest-based manufacturing industries (Division 16 & 17) as well as the extraction and gathering of wild growing non-wood forest products. Besides the production of timber, forestry activities result in products that undergo little processing such as fire wood, charcoal, wood chips and roundwood used in an unprocessed form (e.g. pit-props, pulpwood, etc.). These activities can be carried out in natural or planted forests.
