Private map (managed forest code 50) used in the Story Map of Forest Management in Canada, 2017. Private map (managed forest code 50) used in the  Story Map of Forest Management in Canada, 2017. Private lands were identified using provincial and territorial land ownership datasets. Detailed ownership datasets were not available in all jurisdictions, so proxies were used where necessary. In Saskatchewan, lands south of the province's Commercial Forest Zone were classified as Private. This includes some Crown lands, but these are generally small and not included in forest management plans or leased for commercial forestry purposes.

##Get data on fire response plan area boundaries and recommended response types for wildfires. This dataset shows the boundaries of fire response plan areas and provides the recommended response type that corresponds to the official fire response plan for each area. Fire response types include: * full response * modified response * monitored response * prescribed fire The [Forest Fire Info Map](https://www.lioapplications.lrc.gov.on.ca/ForestFireInformationMap/index.html?viewer=FFIM.FFIM) shows active fires, current fire danger and restricted fire zones in place due to high fire danger.

Map of Canada's forested areas used in the Story Map of Forest Management in Canada, 2017. Canada's forest management classification map classifies all land and inland water areas. It does not differentiate forest areas from non-forest areas. Treed areas can be identified using a separate map layer that was derived using satellite data. Treed areas were used as a proxy for forested areas having a canopy closure of 25% or greater and a tree height of 5 m or greater.  Source:  This web map shows Canada's forested areas used in the Story Map of Forest Management in Canada, 2017 and includes the following tiled layer: Canada's Forested or Treed Areas, 2017Data provided by Alberta Agriculture and Forestry; British Columbia Ministry of Forests; Manitoba Sustainable Development; Natural Resources Canada; New Brunswick Department of Energy and Resource Development; Newfoundland & Labrador Department of Fisheries and Land Resources; Northwest Territories Department of Environment and Natural Resources; Nova Scotia Department of Lands and Forestry; Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry; Prince Edward Island Department of Communities, Land & Environment; Québec Ministère des Forêts, de la Faune et des Parcs; Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment; and Yukon Energy, Mines and Resources.

Predictive ecosite map of Saskatchewan's provincial forests and adjacent parks within the boreal plain, boreal shield and taiga shield ecozones: version 01. Download: Here The Predictive Ecosite Map of Saskatchewan is based on the classifications of McLaughlan et al. (2010). This version (v01) is an interim proof-of-concept product and is not considered highly accurate or finalized. Ecosite prediction accuracy is anticipated to between 40% and 65%, depending on geographic location. For the boreal plain ecozone, ecosites were derived using a random forest imputation with the yaImpute package in R and mapped by L. Gelhorn (2014-07-24). Pixel values presented here are prefixed with a 2. Non-forest / non-water pixels are often assigned a BP28 ecosite code (228). For the boreal shield and taiga shield ecozones, ecosites were derived using a random forest imputation with the yaImpute package in R and mapped by S. Oldford (2019-11-20). Pixel values presented here are prefixed with a 3 and a 4, respectively. In the case of the taiga shield ecozone, there were limited sample plot data. To increase the sample size for modelling, the majority of taiga shield ecosites data are combined and modeled with boreal sheild ecosites using the ecozonal synonyms of McLaughlan et al. (2010). Ecosites TS01 (401), TS04 (404) and TS17 (417) were modeled as such because no ecozonal synonyms exist. This map is clipped to the Saskatchewan provincial forest and adjacent park boundaries. Water bodies are masked according to the 2015 Landcover Map of Canada of White et al. (2017) and have a pixel value of zero (0). References: McLaughlan, M.S., Wright, R.A. and Jiricka, R.D. (2010).

This dataset contains a list of drainage superintendents who are appointed by the local municipality to manage drains constructed under the [Drainage Act, 1990](https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/90d17). Drainage superintendents are businesses or individuals that represent the local municipality to assist landowners to resolve their drainage concerns using the Ontario Drainage Act, 1990. This list is maintained by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness (OMAFA) and includes municipality names, addresses telephone numbers, and superintendent contact information. This list is updated annually or as required throughout the year. More information about the work of drainage superintendents can be found at [Drainage Superintendents Association of Ontario (DSAO)](https://www.dsao.net/).

Single photon lidar light detection and ranging (SPL LiDAR) is an active remote sensing technology for: * mapping vegetation aspects including cover, density and height * representing the earth's terrain and elevation contours We acquired SPL data on an airborne acquisition platform under leaf-on conditions to support Forest Resources Inventory (FRI) development. FRI provides: * information to support resource management planning and land use decisions within Ontario’s Managed Zone * information on tree species, density, heights, ages and distribution The SPL data point density ranges from a min of 25pts/m. Each point represents heights of objects such as: * ground level terrain points * heights of vegetation * buildings The lidar was classified according to the Ontario lidar classifications. Low, medium and tall vegetation are classed as 3, 4, 5 and 12 classes. The FRI SPL products include the following digital elevation models: * digital terrain model * canopy height model * digital surface model * intensity model (signal width to return ratio) * forest inventory raster metrics * forest inventory attributes * predicted streams * hydro break lines * block control points Lidar fMVA data supports developing detailed 3D analysis of: * forest inventory * terrain * hydrology * infrastructure * transportation * other mapping applications We made significant investments in Single Photon LiDAR data, now available on the Open Data Catalogue. Derivatives are available for streaming or through download. The map reflects areas with LiDAR data available for download. Zoom in to see data tiles and download options.

Forest stands (FSTAND) is a vector delineation of relatively homogeneous forest stands or naturally non-forested areas as polygons with a 0.5 ha minimum area and a 2.0 ha median area, in a zipped file geodatabase format. Download: Here The Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment, Forest Service Branch, has developed a forest resource inventory (FRI) which meets a variety of strategic and operational planning information needs for the boreal plains. Such needs include information on the general land cover, terrain, and growing stock (height, diameter, basal area, timber volume and stem density) within the provincial forest and adjacent forest fringe. This inventory provides spatially explicit information as 10 m or 20 m raster grids and as vectors polygons for relatively homogeneous forest stands or naturally non-forested areas.
