20 - Recreation/Visual /Cultural Resource Enhancement . Includes objectives 

 related to recreation area enhancement, such as the removal of hazard 

 trees from campgrounds; visual enhancement, such as opening vistas or 

 regenerating specific species (e.g. aspen) to create landscape 

 variety; and cultural resource enhancement. 



3 - Wildlife Habitat Management . Includes objectives to manage habitat 



for a particular species or group of species, such as creating 

 openings to promote growth of serai stage vegetation and improve 

 foraging areas for deer. 



4 - Fisheries Habitat Management and Watershed Improvement . Includes the 



management of vegetation designed to improve fisheries habitat and 

 management to improve soil stability where the specific purpose is to 

 protect or improve fish habitat or water quality. 



50 - Threatened and Endangered Species Habitat Management . Includes the 

 management of vegetation and ecosystem development to meet the habi 

 requirements of endangered species, such as the red-cockaded 

 woodpecker of the southern states. 



60 - Range Resource Enhancements . Vegetation management to improve the 

 range resource for domestic livestock use. 



70 - Non-Timber Products . The commercial sale of non- timber products such 

 as posts, poles, firewood, Christmas trees, etc., where these sales 

 are designed to achieve forest stewardship or public service 

 objectives . 



90 - Other . The sale of timber for other reasons that meet the definition 

 of forest stewardship purpose. 



The following national activity codes may be used with the personal use purpose 

 category: 



80 - Personal Use Products . Forest product sold or provided free with the 

 intent that those products will not be re-sold or re -manufactured for 

 commercial purposes. 



In determining the proportion of the project to include in each sale 

 purpose/activity combination, the project planner should identify the primary 

 forest plan objective being achieved by each specific area of the project and 

 assign an appropriate purpose/activity combined code to that area. If 

 possible, the percentage assigned to each code should be based on projected 

 timber harvest volume. A simplified example follows: 



Sale A has two cutting units. Cutting Unit 1 (30 acres) is primarily 

 designed to achieve a timber commodity purpose and the expected harvest 

 volume is 400 MBF. Cutting Unit 2 (20 acres) is primarily designed to 

 achieve a wildlife objective and the expected harvest volume is 100 MBF. 

 After determining proportions based on volume, the project would be coded 

 as 80 percent timber commodity purpose/timber resource activity (TC/00 80 

 percent) and 20 percent forest stewardship purpose/wildlife activity (FS/30 

 20 percent) .
