Get data on forest fires, compiled annually for the National Forestry Database [The National Forestry Database](http://nfdp.ccfm.org/en/index.php) includes national forest data and forest management statistics to seve as a credible, accurate and reliable source of information on forest management and its impact on the forest resource. Forest fire data is grouped into eight categories, which are further broken down by geographic location. These include: * number of fires by cause class and response category * area burned by cause class and response category * number of fires by month and response category * area burned by month and response category * number of fires by fire size class and response category * area burned by fire size class and response category * area burned by productivity class, stocking class, maturity class and response category * other fire statistics, such as property losses

Flood tactical maps have currently been developed for the English River, Rainy River, Montreal River, Black River, Trent River, Madawaska, Magnetawan, Muskoka, Mississippi Valley, French, Sturgeon and Nippissing watersheds. The purpose of these maps is to show more succinctly the physiography of the region, the individual river watersheds, ongoing monitoring, location of dams, high risk dams/reservoirs and communities. We are no longer updating this data. It is best suited for historical research and analysis.

Historical Oil Fields are subsurface accumulations or 'pools' of crude oil designated as such for the purposes of the Oil, Gas and Salt Resources Act. This product requires the use of geographic information system (GIS) software.

Natural areas abutting Lake Simcoe are areas of a continuous vegetation community class that have a minimum size of 1 ha and are wholly or partially within the 30 m buffer zone of the Lake Simcoe shoreline. These areas may be a narrow band of vegetation along the shoreline or larger areas, which extend a greater distance from the shoreline. As described in policy 6.31-SA, the MNR and the MOE will map the location of natural areas abutting Lake Simcoe.

Municipal Parks are public lands set aside for recreation purposes or to protect natural and cultural environments. We are no longer updating this data. It is best suited for historical research and analysis.

Data set includes the smaller areas of sensitivity (a standard radius around water intake points) and the larger areas of concern (determined by land, soil and water characteristics of the surrounding area).

A Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) Road Barrier is when access to a road segment or network is restricted or controlled. Road authorities in Ontario have the mandated responsibility to construct roads or have them constructed on their behalf. They include: * Ministry of Natural Resources (resource access roads and park roads) * Municipalities * Ministry of Transportation * Ministry of Northern Development and Mines * Federal government (roads on federal lands, e.g. national parks, Dept. of Defense) * First Nations * Other, e.g., local roads boards This product requires the use of geographic information system (GIS) software.

The purpose of this dataset is to depict the boundaries of the Niagara Escarpment Plan. The outer boundary of the area covered by the Niagara Escarpment Plan is fixed and inflexible. It can only be changed by a plan amendment. It is formed by a combination of features like: * roads * railways * electrical transmission lines * municipal and property boundaries * lot lines * rivers * other topographic features [More information](http://www.escarpment.org)

Get data on the locations of sample sites for the Guide Effectiveness Monitoring Program This dataset shows the locations of sample sites for the Guide Effectiveness Monitoring (GEM) Program. The GEM Program evalutes the effectiveness of forest management guides on songbird occupancy rate and community structure. Learn about the procedures and protocols used for this study in the [Centre for Northern Forest Ecosystem Research Technical Report 004: Effectiveness Monitoring of Forest Management Guides](http://www.ontla.on.ca/library/repository/mon/25011/309546.pdf).
