This layer represents select activities accomplished as a part of the timber harvest program of work. It is important to note that this layer does not contain all timber harvest activities because the spatial portion of the activity description is not required and is self-reported by Forest Service units. As spatial data is a new requirement for timber harvest activities, we hope to improve the quality and comprehensiveness of this data in coming years.

Data entry is accomplished by authorized Forest Service personnel through a web application behind the U.S. Forest Service firewall and is restricted by access requirement protocols.
Data is accurate up to the publication date and attribute domains are valid values from Natural Resource Manager (NRM) Forest Activity Tracking System (FACTS).
Generally the source information used to record spatial locations are from: 1) on-screen digitizing with a georeferenced topographic or image background; or 2) GPS field collected positions.
Forest Service Activity Tracking (FACTS) spatial features in ActivityPolygon_Subunit and tabular data from ACTIVITY_FACTS_ATTRIBUTES are merged based on like spatial identification codes (Subunit ID or SUID) in each set of data. A spatial feature will be created for every activity record in the Activity_Facts_Attribute tabular table. Only changed or new data in the sources are processed. Any features that have been deleted from the source are also deleted in the Activity_SilvTSI feature class. Spatial features from the merged output are loaded into the feature class and GIS acres are calculated for each feature on a nightly basis.

Commercial Thin: An intermediate harvest with the objective of reducing stand density primarily to improve growth, enhance forest health, and other resources objectives. Treatment can recover potential mortality while producing merchantable material. Thinning includes the following: chemical (killing of unwanted trees by herbicide application); crown (removal of trees from dominant and co-dominant strata); free (no consideration to crown position); low (removal of trees from lower crown classes); mechanical or row (removal of trees either in row, strips by using a fixed spacing interval); selection (removal of the crown class to favor those in the lower crown classes.) This activity code is in the Timber and Silviculture grouping.
FACTS User Guide, Appendix B: Activity Codes
4211
Liberation Cut: An intermediate harvest intended as a release treatment in a stand not past the sapling stage to free the favored trees from competition with older, overtopping trees. This activity code is in the Timber and Silviculture grouping.
FACTS User Guide, Appendix B: Activity Codes
4242
Harvest Without Restocking: The harvesting of trees from lands where the restocking of trees is not desired to meet desired vegetative conditions (reference FSH 1909.12, 64.2.). This activity code is in the Timber and Silviculture grouping.
FACTS User Guide, Appendix B: Activity Codes
4102
Coppice Cut (w/leave trees) - EA (even age) / RH (regeneration harvest) / FH (final harvest): A regeneration method in which most trees in the previous stand are cut and the majority of the regeneration is from sprouts or root suckers. A minor (less than approximately 10% of full stocking) live component is retained for reasons other than regeneration. This activity code is in the Timber and Silviculture grouping.
FACTS User Guide, Appendix B: Activity Codes
4121
Shelterwood Preparatory Cut - EA (even age) / RH (regeneration harvest) / FH (final harvest): An optional cut to enhance conditions for seed production and/or develop windfirmness for a future shelterwood establishment cut. This activity code is in the Timber and Silviculture grouping.
FACTS User Guide, Appendix B: Activity Codes
4142
Seed-tree Final Cut - EA (even age) / NRH (not regeneration harvest) / FH (final harvest): A final removal cut that releases established regeneration from competition with seed-trees after they are no longer needed for seed under the seed-tree regeneration method. This activity code is in the Timber and Silviculture grouping.
FACTS User Guide, Appendix B: Activity Codes
4151
Single-tree Selection Cut - UA (uneven aged) / RH (regeneration harvest) / FH (final harvest): An uneven-aged regeneration method where individual trees of all size classes are removed more or less uniformly throughout the stand creating or maintaining a multiage structure to promote growth of remaining trees and to provide space for regeneration. Multiple entries of this activity ultimately results in an uneven- aged stand of 3 or more age classes. This activity code is in the Timber and Silviculture grouping.
FACTS User Guide, Appendix B: Activity Codes
4177
Two-aged Stand Clearcut (w/res) - 2A (2 ages) / RH (regeneration harvest) / FH (final harvest): A two-aged regeneration or harvest method that removes sufficient trees to produce an exposed microclimate for the development of a new age class. Sufficient residual trees, representing at least approximately 10% of full stocking, are retained to attain goals other than regeneration and create a two-aged stand. This activity code is in the Timber and Silviculture grouping.
FACTS User Guide, Appendix B: Activity Codes
4152
Group Selection Cut - UA (uneven aged) / RH (regeneration harvest) / FH (final harvest): An uneven-aged regeneration method in which trees are cut in small groups and new age classes are established.

Two-aged Shelterwood Final Removal Cut (w/res) 2A (2 ages) / NRH (non regeneration harvest) / FH (final harvest): A final removal cut that releases established regeneration from competition with overwood after it is no longer needed for shelter under the shelterwood regeneration method. At least approximately 10% of full stocking is retained to attain goals other than regeneration and create a two-aged stand. This activity code is in the Timber and Silviculture grouping.
FACTS User Guide, Appendix B: Activity Codes
4148
Shelterwood Staged Removal Cut - EA (even age) / NRH (not regeneration harvest) / NFH (not final harvest): A removal cut which partially removes the overwood which is no longer needed to protect and is competing with the establishing regeneration. This activity code is in the Timber and Silviculture grouping.
FACTS User Guide, Appendix B: Activity Codes
4175
Two-aged Patch Clearcut (w/res) - 2A (2 ages) / RH (regeneration harvest) / FH (final harvest): A type of stand clearcutting where patches, strips or groups are clearcut within an individual stand boundary in two or more entries to produce a two-aged stand. Sufficient residual trees, representing at least approximately 10% of full stocking, are retained to attain goals other than regeneration and create a two-aged stand. This activity code is in the Timber and Silviculture grouping.

STAGE
Stages, as defined in FACTS, are used to spatially track an activity unit at certain points in the life of the unit. The NEPA Stage would track the activity unit at the time of the NEPA decision (if identified). The Layout Stage would track the activity unit at the time when the unit is laid out on the ground and could be the same or different than the activity unit at the NEPA Stage. The Accomplished Stage would track the activity unit when the activity that establishes the activity unit is Accomplished. Again this could be the same or different than the NEPA and/or the Layout Stages.

SUID
Subunit ID. Concatenation of the Region, Forest, District, FACTS ID, and Subunit codes. The SUID identifies down to the subunit where an activity will occur within an Activity Unit. Activity Subunits can have multiple activities on them and overlap with other Subunits within the Activity Unit. SUID is alpha/numeric. SUID is the link between spatial and tabular data records.
NRM FACTS
The activity subunit that corresponds to the land encompassing the whole of the activity unit must have a subunit ID of '000'. When activities are performed on only a portion of an activity unit, a new subunit can be created to represent that portion. These subunits may be numbered in sequential order or you may wish to use letters that more easily identify the subunit. The subunit is identified in total by a concatenation of the AU (Activity Unit) Region, AU Proclaimed or Administrative Forest, AU District, FACTS ID, and Subunit fields. An example of a SUID is 0111021A51466541016. This first six numbers of this 19-digit code include the region/forest/district code (011102), followed by the ten-digit FACTS ID (1A51466541), and concluded with the three digit subunit (016).
