This data layer contains individual forest stand level information for the Kemptville District, including: * working group (meaning a grouping of stands with the same predominant species composition. These are generally labelled based on the tree species that occupies the greatest canopy closure or amount of basal area in the stand) * species ID and percentage * height * age * stocking (meaning a qualitative measurement of the density of tree cover in a forest stand. This is generally based on the species with the most basal area, expressed as a percentage value ranging from zero to a maximum of 4. A stocking of 0 is empty, 1 is fully stocked, more than 1 is overstocked) * crown closure * soil moisture * stand modifier (meaning the subdivision of productive forest areas based on the presence or absence of physical or biological factors that will limit the ability to practice timber management) * site index * stand area (m²) This data was digitized in 1998 from 1978 hardcopy mylars through the Ice Storm Recovery Funding Program.

Canada's Managed Forests 2017 (Albers)

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.

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.

Long-term tenure map (managed forest code 11) used in the  Story Map of Forest Management in Canada, 2017. Long-Term Tenure areas are lands having long-term volume- or area-based tenure or effectively having the equivalent, such as consistently recurrent commercial forest tenure with associated forest management activity.
