Cartography of the vegetation cover of Quebec City. The canopy represents the projection on the ground of the tops (crown) of trees (including leaves, branches, and trunks), which is visible from the sky. The data comes from two satellite images covering Quebec City taken by the Pléiades satellite pair on June 24 and July 13, 2015 (spatial resolution of 50 cm).**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Data on trees belonging to the municipality, referred to as “public domain”: street and off-street trees (parks and public squares). Please note that in many cases, the City's data on the spatial location of trees may be inaccurate or out of date. In addition, in some boroughs, park trees are not indicated.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Extent of plant cover formed by trees on the territory of the City of Montreal. The canopy is the summation of the projections to the ground of each tree crown or group of trees over 3 meters in height. It is represented on surfaces, even for isolated trees. No cells are used in this layer.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Data on locations reserved for planting in areas designated as “public domain” including street borders and off-street areas (parks and public squares). This data is complementary to [tree assets] (https://donnees.montreal.ca/dataset/arbres). Please note that in many cases, the City's data on the spatial location of trees may be inaccurate or out of date.

__The link: *Access the data directory* is available in the section*Dataset Description Sheets; Additional Information*__. Formerly, forest maps were produced by the Land Survey Department of the Ministry of Lands and Forests. Some of these maps dating **from 1924 to 1946** still exist and are treasured at the National Archives of Quebec. The information they contain makes it possible to locate and characterize forest areas in certain regions of Quebec. Color codes were then assigned for each of the following classes: young forests, old forests, burned, logged, rocky, savannas, and colonization. **These historical forest maps are available in two digital formats (PDF and TIFF) . ** **This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

Data set presenting public ash trees protected from emerald ash borer by TreeAzin injection treatment since 2014 by the City of Montreal. For more information on ash injections, consult the [information page dedicated to the fight against emerald ash borer] (https://montreal.ca/articles/agrile-du-frene-pourquoi-abattre-mon-arbre-17766). Tree plantations are available via the dataset presenting [trees in the public domain] (https://donnees.montreal.ca/dataset/arbres) which is updated by the City's boroughs.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

__The link: *Access the data directory* is available in the section*Dataset Description Sheets; Additional Information*__. Ecoforest maps have been produced at a scale of 1/10,000 since 2025 (previously, they were distributed at a scale of 1/20,000) and illustrate forest information for Quebec territory up to approximately the 52nd parallel. They offer an up-to-date image of the ecoforest map for the year of production. The maps represent the result of the photo-interpretation of aerial photographs taken during the most recent ecoforestry inventory of southern Quebec to which were added natural disturbances (fires, epidemics, windfalls, etc.) and forest interventions (harvesting, thinning and reforestation) carried out in the public forest following the year in which they were taken. Vegetation information specific to each stand is expressed in detailed species (AIPF) when information is available for a complete sheet. Otherwise, vegetation is expressed as a group of species. Each map at a scale of **1/10,000** covers an average area of approximately **62.5 km²** and presents forest information for the target territory. Its accuracy is approximately ± 5 m. Each map at a scale of **1/20,000** covers an average area of approximately **250 km²** and presents forest information for the target territory. Its accuracy is approximately ± 10 m. ## Descriptions of maps and components ### 2025 maps: + Scale (1/10,000); + Replacing the BDTQ level curves with those from the lidar; + Characterization of vegetation by detailed species (AIPF) or by grouping of species, depending on the availability of information; + Maps based on up-to-date ecoforest maps from the 4th and 5th inventories. ### Maps 2021 to 2024: + Scale (1/20,000); + Characterization of vegetation by detailed species (AIPF) or by grouping of species, depending on the availability of information; + Maps based on up-to-date ecoforest maps from the 4th and 5th inventories. ### 2019 and 2020 maps: + Scale (1/20,000); + Characterization of vegetation by grouping of species; + Maps based on up-to-date ecoforest maps from the 4th and 5th inventories. ### 2015 maps: + Scale (1/20,000); + Characterization of vegetation by grouping of species; + Maps based on up-to-date ecoforest maps from the 3rd and 4th inventories. ## ⚠️ Notes: + Forest codes vary depending on the inventory; **consult the legend** of the map. + The maps are **georeferenced** and optimized for printing. + **AIPF**: The AIPF (**forest stand inventory approach**) is a method used in Quebec for ecoforest stratification to classify forests according to their populations and including updates compared to previous inventories.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**
