Predictive Ecosystem Mapping (PEM) Project Boundaries

PEM_Projects contains Predictive Ecosystem Mapping (PEM) project boundaries (study areas) and attributes describing each project (project level metadata), plus links to the locations of other data associated with the project (e.g., reports, polygon datasets, plotfiles, legends). PEM uses modeling to divide the landscape into units according to a variety of ecological features including climate, physiography, surficial material, bedrock geology, soils and vegetation. This layer is derived from the STE_TEI_PROJECT_BOUNDARIES_SP layer by filtering on the PROJECT_TYPE attribute.  Project types include: PEM, PEMWHR, and PEMSDM.

Grizzly Bear Population Units

Boundaries identifying similar behavioural ecotypes and sub-populations of Grizzly bears. This dataset contains versions from multiple years.

From 2018 on, NatureServe conservation concern ranking categories (e.g., Very Low, Low, Moderate, High, Extreme Concern) supersede the pre-2018 population status categories (e.g., Viable, Threatened, Extirpated) contained in the field STATUS. NatureServe conservation concern ranking categories reflect population size and trend, genetic and demographic isolation, as well as threats to bears and their habitats. The NatureServe conservation concern ranking fields are named CONSERVATION_CONCERN_RANK and CONSERVATION_CONCERN_DESC. Please view the attached PDF file for a summary of changes to this dataset from 2012 onward.

Old Growth - BC Cumulative Effects Framework - 2019 Assessment - Okanagan

NOTE: This dataset is the result of an analysis of many input layers and as such the accuracy, currency, and completeness of the dataset cannot be relied upon for operational use.

Please refer to the [BC Cumulative Effects Old Growth Forest Value website](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content?id=914A24A8EAD140A6B327A87F041989E7) for related project information, as well as documents related to this dataset, such as protocols, reports and online tools

The data represented here corresponds to the following published report: [Current Condition Report for Old Growth Forest in the Okanagan-Shuswap Land and Resource Management Plan Area – 2019 Analysis](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/environment/natural-resource-stewardship/cumulative-effects/thompson-okanagan-region/cef-oldgrowth-tok-okanaganshuswap-ccr-2024.pdf) 

The Interim Assessment Protocol for Old Growth Forest in British Columbia describes the procedures for two components used in the assessment. One is an assessment of the amount of old forest or old and mature forest relative to established legal and policy targets. The other assesses the amount of incursions into old growth management areas (OGMAs), relative to the established limits of incursion.

ALR Property and Map Finder

The ALR Property and Map Finder can be used to determine if a property is within the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). You can search by civic address or by a Parcel Identifier (PID = 9-digit number) found on a Certificate of Title. You can also view and download pdf versions of the 1:20,000 ALR mapsheets of your area. You can find these by clicking on the pdf icon in your area of interest on the map. The ALR digital data is not considered the official representation of the ALR. The digital ALR layer was created from ALR hard copy base maps (1:50000) and large scale constituent maps rectified to standard provincial base digital data (TRIM, CDMS, ICI, PMBC).
