UNSPSC 70151500: Forestry management

UNSPSC 70151500 Forestry management is a Class code under which state and local governments procure timber stand improvement, invasive species removal, fuels reduction, habitat restoration oversight, forest inventory data collection, and community-based tree planting and maintenance services. Recent activity spans herbicide application on conservation area timber stands, pre-commercial thinning on national forest land, specialized ecological restoration administration, forestry equipment and labor contracting, and urban tree planting programs funded through municipal tree trust initiatives and federal Forest Service grants.
