This harvest layer is administered by the Forest Ecosystem Management Division, Department of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture. The data is created, authored and managed within an enterprise geodatabase, and participates in distributed workflows. The data present within this feature layer represents the most relevant data currently available, and is collected through various sources such as Sentinel-2 satellite imagery.
The annual harvest updates primarily focus on the Commercial Annual Operating Plan (AOP) whereby smaller domestic cuts are captured through the photo interpretation process each forest inventory cycle. The data within this layer is not intended as a historical cutover layer, but to represent harvest features that are deemed not stocked. Once features are deemed stocked, the features are returned to the forest land base.
