Provincial Forest Tenures - Forest Management Areas (draft)

A nationally compiled dataset containing provincial Forest Tenures/Forest Management Areas and other administrative areas where rights to establish, grow, harvest or remove timber from a particular area of land has been granted. Each province has different boundary definitions and/or harvesting practices which prevents this dataset from having a standard defined tenure unit for all of Canada (See data sources below). British Columbia was the only province where tenure boundaries had to be complied from several different sources in order to have a definable tenure unit comparable to other provinces (see NOTES below). ATTRIBUTE DEFINITIONS: ID unique identifier created for each feature OBJECTID Unique identifier from original dataset (if existed) PROV 2 letter code for province TENURE_ID1 Tenure code/name for each TENURE_ID2 Secondary Name/Identifier CURR_DATE Effective date of tenure (if available)
