Non-forest

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.
