Woodland Cover
To identify woodland cover in the Regional Municipality of York.
The woodland cover dataset was created based on the interpretation of the most current available orthoimagery. It is updated and produced to estimate woodland cover in the Region and is not intended to create definitive boundaries of woodland cover for the use in the administration of the forest conservation by-law. For any by-law or policy implementation, further site verification of woodland boundaries would be required.
