This layer contains polygon features that represent granular aggregate deposits in New Brunswick. ‘Granular Aggregate’ is the term used to describe naturally occurring deposits of sand and gravel formed during the last ice-age when glaciers were melting and receding. These important resources, which are used for infrastructure construction and maintenance.

This layer contains polygon features that represent geological units in New Brunswick. The associated Bedrock Geology Relate Table contains details about each map unit, including: a brief legend description, Group name, Formation name, and rock age. This layer is the result of nearly 50 years of bedrock mapping and it continues to change as new interpretations are made and more data is collected through field work and analysis.

This layer contains polygon features that represent the generalized surficial geology of New Brunswick. Unconsolidated materials occurring over bedrock, are classified according to physical attributes and genesis, and categorized into map units. This layer is intended to be used at small scales (e.g., provincial scale). It is an update of the 2002 Generalized Surficial Geology Map of New Brunswick, the updates reflect re-interpretation of the geology based on additional field investigations.

The data represents roads not maintained by DTI whose primary purpose is to access the forest resources on crown or private land within the province.

Provides the locations of known farms within the Province of New Brunswick.

Forested areas managed to provide winter habitat for herds of white tail deer on Crown lands.

Lines indicate the approximate flight path flown during aerial survey of NB forests for pests, diseases, and abiotic disturbances. Flights are conducted during clear visibility conditions, typically towards the end of June or early July. Observations are timed to optimize visibility of spruce budworm feeding characterized by reddening of current year needles on spruce and fir as they dry out. Although budworm feeding is often the focus, all types of disturbance are recorded. Polygons indicate the disturbances observed during the aerial survey. Wherever possible, the cause of the damage is reported from the air and ground surveys are used to confirmed agent if the stand is accessible.

A spatial dataset of all Crown lands in Nova Scotia. Crown lands are all or any part of the land under the administration and control of the Minister of Natural Resources and Renewables as per the Crown Lands Act. The dataset includes land in which the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources and Renewables has full or partial interest.

Nature Legacy protected areas are newly established protected areas and contribute to New Brunswick’s 10% target for protected land.

Spatial location of all harvesting identified in the first 10 years of 2012 Forest Management Plans for Crown timber licenses. Blocks are identified by broad treatment category and by the period (2012-2016 and 2017-2022) they are available for harvest.
