This thematic layer shows the location of the wells sampled for pesticides in the context of various studies carried out near certain target crop environments between 1999 and 2024. The data comes from an extraction from the BQMA and, when a report is available on the Department's website, the reader can access it from a link in the information window. Private well sampling stations are grouped by watershed in order to comply with sections 53 and 54 of the Act on access to documents held by public bodies and on the protection of personal information.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Each year, forest managers report on the activities they conduct under approved forest management plans. Each annual report includes data for only a single year and a single management unit. We then consolidate this information for all of Ontario’s managed forests (all management units). We make this data available in two ways: 1. __Tabular data__ through [statistics (text)](https://www.ontario.ca/page/forest-management-facts-and-figures), [visual trends (charts)](https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/larlo/vizzes), or [open data (CSV files)](https://data.ontario.ca/dataset/report-on-forest-management-annual-summary-of-ontario-s-forest-management-activities). If you are not familiar with GIS data, these options provide a great way to explore the information. 2. __Spatial (map-based) data__ through this ESRI geodatabase data package. This option is intended for users who need to analyze forestry operations across the province and/or over extended time periods. It consolidates hundreds of individual layers into a smaller number of comprehensive layers. The data package includes the data dictionary (Technical Specification) in PDF format, which contains information about: * Forest Harvest (HRV) * Establishment Survey (EST/FTG) * Forest Regeneration (RGN) * Forestry Roads and Water Crossings (RDS/WTX) * Site Preparation (SIP) * Forestry Tending (TND) * Silviculture Ground Rule Changes (SGR) This data package is updated periodically once all management units publish their annual reports. This means the most recent annual report data for a specific management unit may not yet be included. You can find the latest management unit annual report data on the [Forest Management Planning Annual Report](https://lio.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=5ff9195d168544739741ed9ba1192d60) page. For additional annual report information—including text, tabular data, and maps—the Forest Information Manual requires the [Natural Resources Information Portal (NRIP)](https://nrip.mnr.gov.on.ca/s/fmp-online?language=en_US) as the means to transfer and store the source information.

This thematic layer shows the location of pesticide stations in surface water monitored as part of various studies. The data comes from an extraction from the BQMA and, when a report is available on the Department's website, the reader can access it from a link in the information window. The dataset on the monitoring of pesticides in surface water also includes a layer of sampling stations, a layer of polygons presenting the drainage areas of some of the stations and finally, a data table including the compilation of land use by year for each of these drainage areas. The drainage areas and the land use table are linked to the sampling stations based on the BQMA station number.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
