Canadian forest management has multiple goals and varies in intensity. Governments, forest companies, Indigenous peoples, communities, and many other stakeholders are all involved in the forest management planning process. Management goals and the plans developed by professional foresters to achieve these goals differ from place to place. Canadian forests are often grouped into two categories: managed forest and unmanaged forest. This type of classification is sometimes useful, but the reality is much more complex and interesting. This interactive story map provides information on designations, ownership, forest tenures, and land protection statuses, and provides a comprehensive picture of the geography of Canada's managed forests. It has been updated from an earlier version to show land designations in 2020. **This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Canada’s forests are managed for multiple objectives with varying degrees of management intensity. Governments, forest companies, Indigenous Peoples, communities and stakeholders are all engaged in the forest management planning process. Management objectives and the plans developed by professional foresters to achieve those objectives differ from place to place. Canada’s forests are managed for multiple objectives with varying degrees of management intensity. Governments, forest companies, Indigenous Peoples, communities and stakeholders are all engaged in the forest management planning process. Management objectives and the plans developed by professional foresters to achieve those objectives differ from place to place. People often group Canada’s forests into two categories: the managed forest and the unmanaged forest. Sometimes this type of classification is helpful, but the reality is far more complex and interesting. This interactive Story Map presents information on land designations, ownerships, tenures and protection statuses to provide a comprehensive picture of the geography of forest management in Canada. This story map has been updated from an earlier 2017 version to show land designations in 2020.

Forest Management in Canada Web Map: 2017 and 2020 Forest Management in Canada Web Map: 2017 and 2020 This web map is used in the Forest Management in Canada web application comparing maps from 2017 and 2020, both of which are part of the Story Map of Forest Management in Canada, 2020 (Aménagement des forêts au Canada, 2020). The Map of Forest Management in Canada provides a wall-to-wall classification of lands in Canada in 2017 and 2020. It does not differentiate areas of forest from non-forest. The Map of Forest Management in Canada differs from maps defining the area designated as “managed forest” for greenhouse gas inventory reporting purposes and does not replace those maps. Instead, the Map of Forest Management in Canada shows areas that are currently managed, and provides generalized management type classification for those areas. Collaborating agencies plan to update the dataset periodically as needed, and remain open to receiving advice from experts concerning refinement priorities for future versions. All forest management classification codes for 2020 are present in this web map and include:Water (Managed Forest Code 100) Protected (Managed Forest Code 20) Treaty/Settlement (Managed Forest Code 40) Federal Reserve (Managed Forest Code 31) Indian Reserve (Managed Forest Code 32) Restricted (Managed Forest Code 33) Private (Managed Forest Code 50) Long-Term Tenure (Managed Forest Code 11) Short-Term Tenure (Managed Forest Code 12) Other (Managed Forest Code 13) All forest management classification codes for 2017 are also present in this web map and include:Water (Managed Forest Code 100) Protected (Managed Forest Code 20) Treaty/Settlement (Managed Forest Code 40) Federal Reserve (Managed Forest Code 31) Indian Reserve (Managed Forest Code 32) Restricted (Managed Forest Code 33) Private (Managed Forest Code 50) Long-Term Tenure (Managed Forest Code 11) Short-Term Tenure (Managed Forest Code 12) Other (Managed Forest Code 13)
