    As Minister of Natural Resources and Northern Development, I am pleased to present to the Legislative Assembly the five-year report on the state of the forests for the period ending on March 31, 2021. As Minister of Natural Resources and Northern Development, I am pleased to present to the Legislative Assembly the five-year report on the state of the forests for the period ending on March 31, 2021. In Manitoba, forests are an integral part of life. Manitobans derive a host of economic, environmental and cultural benefits from this vast resource, in terms of employment, recreation and education. With appropriate — i.e. sustainable — forest management, it is possible to achieve a balance between growth and protection. Working with communities across the province and with local and national organizations, Manitoba continues to protect and enhance urban and natural forests by monitoring and managing invasive insects and diseases, preparing for climate change, and forecasting the effects of climate change on our forests. We do this by encouraging new and existing initiatives to reduce energy costs, including by supporting the young biomass industry, as well as by consulting and recognizing the rights of Indigenous communities across the province. **This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

    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).**

Management objectives and the plans developed by professional foresters to achieve those objectives differ from place to place.

This story map has been updated from an earlier 2017 version to show land designations in 2020.
