The Capital Regional District (CRD) is the regional government for 13 municipalities and three electoral areas on southern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, serving more than 418,000 people.

2015 marked 25 years of Land Cover Mapping in CEH. The land cover map contains 31 land cover classes: 12 forest; 3 shrub land; 6 barren land and grassland; 7 developed land types including cropland; mosaic and built-up areas; and 2 non vegetable land cover types. The right hand panel of the map gives pictures and descriptions for each of the 31 land cover classes. The series was complemented by CEH Land Cover® plus: Crop Map and is now joined by … Contained within the Atlas of Canada's Various Map Series, 1965 to 2006, is map which shows the distribution of land cover types across Canada. The 610 tiles can be downloaded from the Internet for a wide range of uses.

forests, grasslands, croplands, lakes, wetlands. The maps were created using data from 2011 land cover mapping data.

The tiles are based on Canada’s national topographic system mapsheet framework, and follow the spatial framework and nomenclature of the existing 1:250,000 map series, allowing for simple integration with other spatial datasets. Base data is limited to a small selection to populated places and major roads. Victoria, British Columbia About 80 percent of the country was mapped, and all land cover types found in those images were classified, including forest cover.

Understanding current land cover and how it is being used, along with an accurate means of monitoring change over time, is vital to any person responsible for land management. The CRD makes no representations or warranties regarding accuracy or completeness of these map or the suitability of these maps for any purpose. Boil Water Advisory - Hilltop Road, Salt Spring Island, McLoughlin Point Wastewater Treatment Plant, Craigflower Creek Watershed Watershed Map 2011, Wsikem (Tseycum) Creek Watershed Map 2011, BizPaL Online Business Permits and Licences. Natural Resources Canada, with assistance from the Canadian Space Agency and in collaboration with the provinces, territories and other federal agencies, has produced a unique cross-country map detailing Canada’s forested land cover. Generated from Landsat satellite data, the Earth Observation for Sustainable Development of Forests (EOSD) forest cover map consists of 610 segments, or tiles, each representing an area of about 15,000 square kilometres.

The tiles will be used to provide information for biomass estimates, for climate change modelling, and for Canada's National Forest Inventory—particularly for northern forest regions where there are few ground or photo plots, and land cover classifications have been based on limited information. For example, the dark green areas represent treed areas, but the density of the tree cover could range greatly from 100% to less than 25% tree cover. within the watershed. The imagery data are from 1995. EOSD land cover map of Quebec, 23-class version. Read more >>, 625 Fisgard Street Dynamic land cover maps include transitions of land cover classes over time and hence captures land cover changes. The EOSD map will help the researchers establish a baseline of habitat fragmentation for various species in Canada. The downloaded tiles can be pieced together without losing data integrity or information. 8, with the accuracy per land cover class in Fig. Multiple prediction models are used based on temporal subsets of the compiled training dataset to dynamically account for cloud coverage at pixel level. Cross-Canada forest vegetation map (2007), EOSD: monitoring our forests from space take 2 (2007), Forest fragmentation, structure, and age characteristics as a legacy of forest management (2009), Satellite land cover mapping of Canada’s forests: the EOSD land cover project (2008), National Forest Information System (NFIS). The EOSD land cover map was developed primarily to support Canada’s national and international reporting requirements for sustainable forest management and biomass, including the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers’ Criteria and Indicators, the State of Canada’s Forests annual report, and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Residents in the impacted area should BOIL their drinking water until further notice.

At 25-metre resolution, the tiles represent the highest spatial resolution satellite-derived map data available for the total area of Canada covered. Image: CFS and ministère du Développement durable, de l'Environnement et des Parcs du Québec. This is the land parcels (polygon) dataset for the UKCEH Land Cover Map of 2019 (LCM2019) representing Great Britain. From both images it is clear that snow, rice, barren, mangroves and cropland have high probabilities, whereas aquaculture, shrubland, plantations and the different forest classes have higher uncertainties. Please note: The land cover maps depict percentage of land cover, but not density of cover within each class. The land cover map and uncertainty layer are shown in Fig.

The tiles detail 21 land cover classes as they existed in about 2000. 9. As of Sep 29, this advisory remains in effect. Information on percentage cover by density class (0-5%, >5-10%, >10-25%, >25-50%, >50-75% and >75%) is available for tree and impervious land cover.

The maps were created using data from 2011 land cover mapping data. Base data is limited to a small selection to populated places and major roads. Guided by its Board, the CRD works collaboratively to build a vibrant, livable and sustainable region. For land cover prediction, pixel-based compositing is then applied region-wide. Watersheds in the Capital Region Map (PDF) Regional Land Cover Watershed Map (PDF) Please note: The land cover maps depict percentage of land cover, but not density of cover within each class. Canada V8W 1R7. National-scale land cover mapping began in 1990 with LCM1990, continued with LCM2000 and then LCM2007. Researchers can then use that information in their own landscape and land cover studies—either as is or as source information to generate their own value-added products. The watershed maps below can be used as a simplistic visual assessment, or snapshot, of the health of a watershed based on the types of land use (forests, agriculture, impervious surfaces, etc.) However, the map can also be used to generate other information. The full report is available here (PDF). All further LCM2019 datasets for Great … The full report is available here (PDF). For example, researchers are using the tiles to help them assess Canada’s biodiversity in support of other national and international commitments: Canada’s Species at Risk Act, 2003, and the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity.

These maps are not for navigation. Meeting those commitments requires that the composition, distribution, structure and dynamics of Canada’s forests be quantified over time.

These maps are for general information purposes only. We continue to monitor water quality in the lake. The images are Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer data, which means very precise detail, is shown on the map. The EOSD land cover map was developed primarily to support Canada’s national and international reporting requirements for sustainable forest management and biomass, including the Canadian Council of Forest Ministers’ Criteria and Indicators, the State of Canada’s Forests annual report, and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

The land cover map contains 31 land cover classes: 12 forest; 3 shrub land; 6 barren land and grassland; 7 developed land types including cropland; mosaic and built-up areas; and 2 non vegetable land cover types.
