Forestry has always been central in Flesberg and this is symbolized in the municipal coat of arms, showing two timber claws.

Every year 60,000 cubic meters of timber is extracted. There are 130 full time equivalents (FTEs) related to the forestry and wood processing in Flesberg. The forests provide great opportunities for recreation and outdoor activities. There are good fishing opportunities and a rich flora and fauna. The forests grows all the way from the fertile valley up to the barren grounds in the mountains.
