This feature class represents Manitoba's Forest Management Licence (FML) boundaries.The Forest Act provides for the establishment of Forest Management Licences to provide a continuous supply of timber to the forest industry. A Forest Management Licence, granted for a period of not more than twenty years, may be renewed for further periods. The Forest Management Licence describes the land upon which trees may be cut, the volume of wood that may be harvested, and other terms and conditions. There are currently two Forest Management Licences in Manitoba, FML-2 and FML-3 . Timber management and forest renewal are the responsibilities of Manitoba Sustainable Government on Crown Forest Land outside of Forest Management Licence areas, and within Forest Management Licence areas where the wood is used by a facility other than that operated by the Forest Management Licensee. Version 3 of Manitoba's Forest Management Licence (FML) boundaries includes FML-2 and FML-3. Previous boundaries associated with FML-1 and IWSA's have been removed. To update and improve the positional accuracy of Manitoba's Forest Management Licence (FML) boundaries, written descriptions of FML areas were referenced along with linework from Forest Land Inventories (FLI), Forest Resource Inventories (FRI) and Manitoba's township fabric to improve Provincial FML boundaries. Boundary linework the following related geospatial datasets were topologically checked for coincident linework: Manitoba Provincial Boundary; Manitoba Forest Management Units ; Manitoba Forest Management Licence Agreement Areas; Manitoba Forest Sections; Manitoba Provincial Forests . Fields Included: FML_NAME : Forest Management Licence area name.

The spatial representation of a Forest Stewardship Plan and Forest Development Units. A Forest Stewardship Plan is a plan submitted by a forest industry licensee stating how the BC Government's objectives for managing the province's forest resources will be met. It identifies the plan-holder's obligations for a five-year period. The Forest Development Unit is the spatially-mapped area of land within a Forest Stewardship Plan where specific forest practices obligations apply to specific forest licensees.

This division defines the forests attributable to the domain of the State, where it is allowed to manage Quebec forests in a sustainable and continuous manner. Beyond this limit, no forest management will be authorized by the Ministry, except for activities specific to local communities. This new route, adopted on October 4, 2016, has been in force since April 1, 2018, and is regulated by the Sustainable Forest Development Act (LADTF, chapter A-18.1, section 15). This applies to the new division of planning units (UA), which has also been in force since 1 April 2018.This data comes from the MRNF STF system, the __official source__ of this geographic information.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

The spatial representation for the areas that have been eliminated from a timber licence

This feature class represents Manitoba's Forest Management Unit (FMU) boundaries.Forest Management Units (FMU's) define a forested area with common forest conditions that are managed in a similar manner. Forest Sections are comprised of FMU's. Forest inventories within Forest Management Units are analysed to determine allowable harvest limits of softwood and hardwood tree species within each Forest Management Unit. Version 3: The southern portion of FMU 67 within the Highrock Forest Section has been adjusted to align with base features captured in 2009. Additionally, an 11 hectare portion of the Saskatchewan River Forest Section (FMU 59) has been added to the Highrock Forest Section. Version 4: The northern portion of FMU 68 along the Rail Haul within the Highrock Forest Section has been adjust so that the boundary falls within water only. Additionally, version 4 splits the 'White Zone' forest section (FMU 76) by ecozones, creating FMU 76 (Taiga Shield), FMU 77 (Southern Arctic), FMU 78 (Hudson Plain) and FMU 79 (Boreal Shield). Version 4 is dated February 8, 2013. Fields Included: OBJECTID: Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated . MANAGEMENT_UNIT_NUMBER : Management Unit (MU) number .

Represents the boundary line of Saskatchewan Crown resource lands designated as provincial forests as described in The Forest Resources Management Regulations, F-19.1 Reg 1, amended June 2020.Boundaries of the Canwood, Nisbet, Fort a la Corne, Torch River, and Porcupine Provincial Forests are described, as well as the southern portion of the Northern Provincial Forest. Crown resource lands contained within these boundaries are designated as provincial forest. Certain lands have been deemed to be withdrawn from the provincial forest pursuant to subsection 12(4) of the Act. The Forest Resources Management Act The Forest Resources Management Regulations The provincial forest boundary is described by clauses and subclauses in The Forest Resources Management Regulations. Each provincial forest boundary description clause and subclause has a corresponding line feature in FORESTRY.PLANNING_Forest_Boundary. Clause descriptions position provincial forest boundary line features according to Saskatchewan’s Land Survey System by Township, Range, and Meridian. Subclause descriptions further positions provincial forest boundary line features within the clause. When a subclause describes the provincial forest boundary according to a water body or water course bank, line features are digitized from the Saskatchewan Geospatial Imagery Collaborative 2016 three-band (red, green, blue) SPOT 6 and 7 satellite imagery mosaic, pan-sharpened to 1.5 m resolution (IMAGERY.SGIC_SPOT_RGB_2016_Ref). In certain situation, applying this satellite imagery to the provincial forest boundary description results in a gap between land and water. In such cases, in order to maintain a contiguous boundary, a new line feature is created that has no corresponding clause and subclause in The Forest Resources Management Regulations. These “Land to Water Gap” features are identified as such in the SUBCLAUSE_DESCR field. When a subclause describes the provincial forest boundary according to the Saskatchewan Land Survey System, line features are extracted from Information Services Corporation CADASTRE data (CADASTRE.SG_SECTION, .SG_QUARTERSECTION, .SG_LEGALSUBDIVISION, .surface, .boundary, .right_of_way). By convention, the west boundary of a line feature is defined by the vector west of the road allowance and the south boundary of a line feature is defined by the vector south of the road allowance. In certain situation, applying this convention to the provincial forest boundary description results in a gap created by an adjacent east or north road allowance. In such cases, in order to maintain a contiguous boundary, a new line feature is created that has no corresponding clause and subclause in The Forest Resources Management Regulations. These “Road Allowance Gap” features are identified as such in the SUBCLAUSE_DESCR field. In spite of west / south boundary road allowance convention, when a road allowance forms the boundary of the provincial forest, in FORESTRY.PLANNING_Forest_Boundary, the line feature is drawn such that the road allowance is excluded from the provincial forest.

This spatial data represents the boundaries of Manitoba's forest sections. Forest sections are administrative areas comprised of Forest Management Units (FMU's). There are 14 uniquely named forest sections in Manitoba, 9 of which are capable of growing commercial forests.Manitoba's f orest sections are administrative areas comprised of Forest Management Units (FMU's). There are 14 uniquely named forest sections in Manitoba, 9 of which are capable of growing commercial forests. The Aspen Parkland forest section in the south along with the northern forest sections of Boreal Shield, Taiga Shield, Hudson Plains and Southern Arctic are incapable of growing commercial forests. The four northern forest sections were previously called the 'white zone' and all have retained the previous white zone forest section number of 10. The northern forest section boundaries are based on the following ecozones:Hudson Plains: A subarctic area encompassing the coastal areas of Hudson Bay. The area is formed into a wide, level plain, characterised by poor drainage that has resulted in large and numerous peatlands, lakes, coastal marshes, and tidal flats. Alder, willow, black spruce, and tamarack are the most common tree species.Taiga Shield: Terrain is typically flat or with rolling hills caused by glacial retreat; long eskers and uplands are common. Shallow soils remain damp year-round and regularly freeze and thaw; this leads to tilted growing trees, sometimes called ‘drunken forests’. The northern edge of the forest section is delineated by the tree line. Black spruce, jack pine, birch, tamarack, white spruce, balsam fir, trembling aspen, and balsam poplar are common tree species.Southern Arctic: The southern boundary designated the tree line. Moraines, eskers, kettle lakes, and ponds are common. Permafrost occurs in a continuous sheet throughout the section; polygonal hummocks often result from the freeze and thaw of the soils.Boreal Shield : This forest section represents the upper boundary of the boreal shield ecozone, characterised by long, cold winters and warm summers. Permafrost is widespread. Uplands and lowland tree species are common. Soil varies from poorly drained muskeg to glacially-deposited sand. Coniferous trees include white and black spruce, balsam fir, jack pine, and tamarack; hardwood tree species include birch, trembling aspen, and balsam poplar. Forest fires and insect outbreaks are the natural drivers of forest succession. The ten forest sections south of forest section 10 are sometimes referred to as the 'green zone' and include the following: Pineland, Aspen Parkland, Mountain, Interlake, Lake Winnipeg East, Churchill, Nelson River, Hayes River, Saskatchewan River and Highrock.
