Defined areas allocated by certificate under the British Columbia Wildlife Act to guide outfitters for the purpose of guiding residents, non-residents or non-resident alien hunters to hunt big game species.

Determines the location of Coal Titles within the Province of British Columbia. It is established under the authority of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Grid Regulation. It is defined by a set of UTM coordinates which approximate NAD 27 latitude and longitude positions. Groups are the second coarsest level of the Coal Grid and approximate 1:50,000 NTS map sheets.

The Big Picture 2002 is a legacy geographic information system (GIS) based landscape analysis. It is a partnership between the Nature Conservancy of Canada and the Ministry of Natural Resources’ Natural Heritage Information Centre. Many digital layers covering the Mixedwood Plains ecozone plus a portion of the Ontario Shield ecozone were compiled for this analysis. These layers include: * evaluated wetlands * forest cover * old growth forest * rare species and communities * waterbodies and watercourses * parks and protected areas * Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSIs) The data layers are overlaid in a GIS system and points are assigned to the features in each layer according to their conservation value. Core natural areas were identified by a combination of minimum size and a minimum point score per pixel. Potential linkages between these cores were computed by assigning scores to the landscape surrounding the cores based on the probable resistance to wildlife movement. We do not currently use this methodology for similar analyses.

This data covers the entire Far North from 2005-2011. The data is provided in both grid and vector formats. It is broken into layers that cover UTM zones 15, 16 and 17. Layers representing each level of the classification hierarchy described in the data specs have been provided: * class * group * section Can be used to create a consistent map to meet regional - to landscape level analysis (1:100,000).

The Ontario Hydro Network (OHN) is a provincial medium scale originating from data with regional scales of 1: 10,000 in Southern Ontario, 1: 20,000 in Northern Ontario and 1: 50,000 in the Far North. The shoreline is taken from the OHN - Waterbody data class. This data is used for cartographic purposes and web mapping services. This product requires the use of geographic information system (GIS) software.

Data from the former Kemptville, Midhurst and Aylmer Districts were compiled in this dataset to show forest areas on private land, managed by the landowner in cooperation with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources under the Woodlands Improvement Act (WIA). The WIA allowed for 15-year management agreements between landowners and the MNR to plant and improve woodlands on private land. The WIA was in place from 1966-1999. This data is being provided as-is. No additional data is available, and no updates or maintenance are planned for this dataset.

It specifies where seed can be collected and used and the conditions under which seed may be transferred. The data is provided as part of Appendix 1 of the Ontario Tree Seed Transfer Policy. It is available in both table and map formats , and also includes CSV and shape files. __Tabular display__ This dataset includes three tables that show the spatial direction of the seed transfer policy based on the climate similarity analysis (refer to Appendix 1 of the policy for information on the climate similarity analysis): * Table 1. For transitional period: Acceptable seed transfer from the 2010 Seed Zones of Ontario to current seed zones * Table 2. Acceptable seed transfer from the 2010 Seed Zones of Ontario to ecodistricts * Table 3. Acceptable seed transfer among ecodistricts Within the tables, you can click and sort by your location of interest to understand the best seed sources to collect from or deploy to. You can sort by either seed zone or ecodistrict. The policy recommends a climate similarity of 0.9 or greater to the targeted collection or deployment site. __Visual display__ The climate similarity analysis used in developing this policy is also available as an interactive map. Maps are available to help you make seed collection and deployment decisions, including: * collecting seed by ecodistrict or county * deploying seed by ecodistrict * deploying seed by seed zone You can also view: * [a detailed map of management unit by seed zone or by ecodistrict](https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/larlo/viz/SeedSourceOntario/Intro) * [maps to help you make seed transfer decisions related to growing season, precipitation and temperature](https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/larlo/viz/SeedSourceOntario/Intro)

Examples include: * shoreline access * enhanced shoreline access (with a dock or pier) * boat launches This data was created to be used as part of the Fish ON-Line mapping application.

A Township is a land subdivision in Ontario. This information was captured through the Ontario Base Mapping Program, is maintained by the Ministry of Natural Resources and distributed through Geospatial Ontario (GEO) Warehouse. The spatial accuracy for some of the townships was improved through the Ontario Parcel, Township Realignment and Township Improvement projects. Improvements may include: * road allowance widths * spatial changes to better represent where the township boundaries are located * more consistent concession names Materials used to improve the location of township lines may include: * township Improvement plots * survey information i.e. retracements * original township plans * surveys notes * the physical features e.g. fence lines in the corporate editing environment * water bodies * GPS Ontario Road Network geometry This product requires the use of geographic information system (GIS) software.
