This product integrates all the boundaries of public forest territory: according to the Law on Sustainable Forest Land Management (LADTF), the public forest territory consists of management units (UA), local forests (FP), residual forest territories (TFR), residual forest territories (TFR), forests for education and research (FR), forests for education and research (FER), forests for education and research (FER), the Duchesnay forest station, experimental forests (FE), exceptional forest ecosystems (FR), exceptional forest ecosystems (FR), EFE), biological refuges. Depending on the type of territory, rights may be granted under specific conditions and/or excluded from all forest management activities. The mapping of these public forest territories is necessary for several MRNF mandates including the determination of forest opportunities, the allocation of wood volumes and finally the planning and monitoring of forest management works.In addition to these territories and rights granted, there are forest administrative boundaries that are in force at the MRNF, such as private forest development agencies, pricing zones, management units (UGs), territories of analysis of the Chief Forester (FEC), etc.This product is maintained in the MRNF STF system and several official entities of the Ministry have their origins in it. For more information on how to do this, please consult the lexicon that accompanies the datasets.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

The planning unit (UA) is a territorial reference unit that applies to forest territories in the domain of the State under article 13 of the Sustainable Forest Development Act (LADTF).There are currently 57 AU on Quebec's public forest territory. The sustainable forest management strategy provides guidelines and objectives for sustainable forest management for this forest area. The purpose of this delimitation of forest territory is to define areas for the production of resources. Thus, the Minister can grant various forest rights in this territory, such as guarantees of supply (GA), harvesting permits in order to supply a commercial wood processing plant (PRAU), harvesting permits in order to supply a non-commercial wood processing plant, i.e. forest biomass (PRBIO), permits for maple syrup farms (mixed production), permits for blueberry fields (forests) blueberry), mining rights permits (mining concessions) and legal protections for the forests of experimentation (FE).This AU delimitation has been in force since April 1, 2023 and comes from the MRNF STF system, which is the __official source__ of this geographic information.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

The allocation of public land consists in defining the government's guidelines for the use and protection of public territory.PATPs make it possible to guide the interventions of the various actors in the field by providing them with the necessary bases for integrated management of land and resources in the State domain.This strategic approach thus contributes to the harmonious and sustainable development of public land, while reducing conflicts of use.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

The Forest Analysis and Inventory Branch (FAIB) is responsible for coordinating and managing data collection and analyses from a range of different ground sampling programs that collect data on ground plots. This layer shows ground plots from the PSP and VRI programs. **Vegetation Resource Inventory (VRI):** ground samples primarily used to audit and verify key inventory attributes estimated during photo interpretation. These samples are not protected because they will not be revisited. **Permanent Sample Plots (PSP):** subjectively located fixed-area permanent plots, valued for their long-term re-measurement data to support development of growth-and-yield models in unmanaged stands across a range of stand and ecosystem types. Actual GPS coordinates are provided as protection is necessary. - Active PSPs = plot and buffer are protected from harvesting - Inactive PSPs = not protected from harvesting

Following the execution of forest work, the holders must, each year, prepare and submit to the Minister a Technical and Financial Activity Report (RATF) for each of the elements of the authorized annual programming (PRANA). The technical and financial activity report includes several geometric entities allowing the verification of development works on public forest territory. Here is the list: forest roads, point infrastructure, drainage completed, drainage completed, sample plot, intervention polygons, bridge and culvert, reforested species, intervention monitoring results, intervention sector, intervention sampling unit, intervention follow-up sampling unit.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Productive forest land base is defined as the total Crown forest area, determined by subtracting the following from the total area of the Cariboo Natural Resource Region: * All non-Crown land * All Crown land committed to non-timber use through a Land Act designation * All non-forest Crown Land, and * All forest area classified as brush or non-commercial cover in the Forest Inventory. See the CCLUP Land Use Order Implementation Direction for more information: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/farming-natural-resources-and-industry/natural-resource-use/land-water-use/crown-land/land-use-plans-and-objectives/cariboo-region/cariboochilcotin-rlup/cclup_land_use_order_implementation_direction_companion.pdf

## Get data on boundaries of local climatic areas used for forest fire weather forecasting. This dataset shows the boundaries of administrative areas used for forest fire weather forecasting. North of the French River, boundaries correspond closely with Environment Canada’s areas for public weather forecasting. South of the French River, 25 Environment Canada areas are combined into six larger areas for provincial forecasting.
