Silviculture and other forestry activities

NACE v2.1 Code: A02.1

About silviculture and other forestry activities

NACE code 02.1 covers the silviculture and other forestry activities that are essential for the sustainable management and cultivation of forests. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader economy, providing raw materials for a wide range of downstream industries, such as 16.1 Sawmilling and planing of wood, 17.1 Manufacture of pulp, paper and paperboard, and 31.0 Manufacture of furniture. Silviculture and forestry activities also contribute to environmental protection, carbon sequestration, and the preservation of biodiversity.

Production process

The main production techniques in this industry involve the cultivation, management, and harvesting of forests. This includes activities such as planting, thinning, pruning, and selective logging to ensure the sustainable growth and regeneration of forest resources. Foresters also engage in activities like fire prevention, pest control, and the maintenance of forest infrastructure to optimize the health and productivity of the forest ecosystem.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for silviculture and forestry activities include land, seedlings or saplings, forestry equipment (e.g., chainsaws, skidders, and harvesters), and labor. Foresters also rely on specialized knowledge and expertise in areas such as forest ecology, silviculture techniques, and environmental regulations to ensure the responsible management of forest resources.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are various types of raw wood materials, such as logs, pulpwood, and fuelwood. These outputs are then consumed by a range of downstream industries, including 16.1 Sawmilling and planing of wood, 17.1 Manufacture of pulp, paper and paperboard, and 31.0 Manufacture of furniture. Additionally, forests managed under this NACE code provide important ecosystem services, such as carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation, and recreational opportunities.
