Yukon Lands Withdrawn From Disposal Under Forest Protection Act

2026 data from the Government of Yukon's GeoYukon platform details lands withdrawn from disposal via Orders in Council under the Forest Protection Act. The dataset includes both active and expired orders, with spatial views available through ESRI REST services. Users must consult linked OIC documents for specific legal details not captured in GIS attributes.

Use Cases

• Map active land withdrawal areas under the Forest Protection Act using spatial ESRI REST views.
• Analyze temporal patterns of land withdrawal orders by comparing active and expired order statuses.
• Identify Yukon lands subject to different levels of withdrawal by cross-referencing GIS data with official OIC documents.

Strengths

• Data is maintained by the authoritative Government of Yukon and distributed via the official GeoYukon platform.
• Includes both active and expired orders, providing a complete regulatory history.
• Spatial data is available in ESRI REST format for direct integration with GIS tools.

Limitations

• GIS attributes lack details on the different levels of land withdrawal, requiring manual review of legal documents.
• Sample data and specific record counts (rows/columns) are unavailable for assessing dataset scale.
