Yukon Forest Management Annual Allowable Cut Areas

250,000 geospatial features delineate annual allowable cut and annual limit areas under Yukon's Forest Resources Act. The dataset identifies regions where timber harvesting is authorized under regulatory limits pending formal Forest Resources Management Plan approval. It is maintained by the Government of Yukon and distributed via GeoYukon.

Use Cases

• Map annual allowable cut boundaries to analyze spatial distribution of regulated timber harvest limits.
• Identify areas without an approved Forest Resources Management Plan (FRMP) for compliance monitoring.
• Support forest policy analysis by linking regulatory subsection 20(2) and 31(10) areas to land management decisions.
• Calculate total area under annual limit regions as defined in Schedule 1 of the Forest Resources Regulation.

Strengths

• Contains 250,000 individual spatial features for detailed regional analysis.
• Directly references specific legal statutes (Forest Resources Act subsection 20(2) and 31(10)).
• Authoritative source from the Government of Yukon's official GeoYukon platform.
• Recently updated with a last modified date of March 25, 2026.

Limitations

• Column names and schema are unknown, complicating direct analytical use.
• Sample data is unavailable for previewing structure and attribute fields.
• Limited to the geography of Yukon, Canada, reducing broader applicability.
