Ontario Forest Historical Annual Report Data

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.
