The Renewable Resource Inventory Section of the Forest Planning and Stewardship Branch is responsible for generating an updated Forest (FO), Wetland (WL), and Non-forest (NF) layer annually. Photo interpretation of digital aerial photography (DAP) and the Canopy Height Model (CHM) derived from LiDAR are used in combination to produce these layers. The Forest layer provided here is for New Brunswick Crown Land only. Wetlands (WL) and Non-forest (NF) are displayed for the entire Province. It should be noted that these layers should not be confused with regulatory layers provided by other Departments, specifically, Wetland layer provided by ELG.

__The link: *Access the data directory* is available in the section*Dataset Description Sheets; Additional Information*__. The mapping of __infrastructures in a forest environment__ corresponds to the forest territory from which trees have been subtracted for the purpose of installing infrastructure, for example to establish energy transmission lines, agricultural areas or hydroelectric reservoirs, or even for purposes distinct from forest harvesting. The areas contained in this map date back to 2003. This map covers almost all of the territory south of the 52nd parallel of Quebec's public and private forest. The information constituting it comes from various sources. For example, the Quebec Topographic Database is used to map the discharge of hydroelectric reservoirs. The minimum mapping area is 0.1 ha.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
