Birkeland is an industrial town within a forest municipality. Glass fibre, wood products and engineering provide local jobs, while many residents commute towards Kristiansand and the coastal towns.
Further north lie Herefoss beside Herefossfjorden and the villages of Vegusdal. Rivers, lakes and wooded uplands divide the municipality into distinct rural communities, with farms along cultivable valleys.
