<div style='text-align:Left;'><div><div><p><span>This data layer provides information on harvest and silvicultural activities in the US Forest Service. It is part of the Forest Service Activity Tracking System (FACTS) database, an activity tracking system that records, tracks, and monitors activities associated with timber sales, NEPA decisions, trust fund plans, hazardous fuels reduction treatments, invasive species mitigation, and some range activities. The database was queried to produce this data layer on harvest and silviculture activities (2001-2021). This data layer presents five types of harvest and silviculture activities: harvests, silvicultural exams and certifications, establishment and reforestation, stand improvement, nurseries and seed procurement, and miscellaneous.</span></p><p><span /></p><p><span>Harvest and silviculture activities were identified in consultation with subject matter experts on each category of FACTS codes.
