Crown Lands

This dataset of Crown land includes land managed by the Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development (DNRED). Creation – The data was created in the 90s using the codes from the Forest Cover data. In Early 2000 a project was undertaken to correct the errors in ownership that was present in the data. The project compared the data to that of Service New Brunswick and where there were discrepancies in DNRED’s ownership some research was done to correct DNRED’s data, SNB’s data or both. The data is constantly being updated as the department disposes of and/or acquires land, or new survey plans are prepared providing the location of the boundary. Other updates may be done to correct errors after some research has been done on ownership of land. Level of accuracy can vary from boundaries based on the Grant Reference Plans to a survey prepared by a Registered New Brunswick Land Surveyor.
  

This map was created by the Department of Natural Resources and Energy Development; it depicts areas of potential maple tree abundance on both Crown and privately-owned land. Private industrial freehold land is not included.

The taps per hectare classifications have been determined by remote sensing techniques (LiDAR) using mapped forest inventories and have not been verified on the ground. Harvest treatments and road access may have occurred since the inventory was mapped.

Both sugar maple and red maple have been included in the classification.
