  3. Name that Decade The most urgent need for them (surveys) is to supply information needed as a basis for efficient work in the creation of forest reserves, the construction of permanent improvements (roads) and the distribution of the field force. While satisfying these needs, these forest surveys will yield at the same time detailed information regarding the stand of commercial timber in the different regions, its size and quality, and its availability for successful lumbering operations, which will be of great practical value to lumbermen and other forest users, as well as in the development of a progressive public timber sale policy.’

  5. Ground Rules: • Stop me if I lose you • Tell me if you need more • Leave when you have had enough

  6. What is Inventory: 1) How Much? 2) Where is it? 3) How is it Changing

  7. How Much Province 98.1 million ha Non Prod 52.5 million ha Productive 45.6 million ha Mature For Immature For 27 million ha 15.6 million ha 3 million ha not stocked

  8. How Much Timber Volume: (TSA) Prod.For Imm 1,356,763,000 m3 Prod. For Mat 6,143,494,000 m3 7,500,258,000 m3 Volume harvested 2001 54,415,000 AAC Volume 2001 68,600,000 Value of exports to BC 16.3Billion Stumpage to Crown 1.26 Billion

  10. What Will You Hear About Vegetation Update To-day • Where we have been • Where we are to-day • Where we are going • Emerging Issues

  11. Coverage Vintage and Availability

  12. Status of Provincial Inventory http://srmwww.gov.bc.ca/tib/vri/vri/reports&pub/vri_vripub.htm

  13. Mapping Changes to the Vegetation Cover

  14. Evolution of VegetationUpdate • 1952-1978 – PSYU Inventories • 1978/79 – Computer mapping, decentralize Update to Forest Districts and Regions • 1992-1998 – Use of GPS, mono-restitution, Ortho-photos, satellite images, Data Sharing • 1998-2001 - Conversion to INCOSADA, use of change detection software • 2001 - 2005 – MSRM created, WFA, LRDW, RESULTS, Replace INCOSADA • 2004- Service Agreements, Client Council

  15. Updating Vegetation Inventory Priorities are driven by: • Timber Supply Review Schedule (data needs) • Currency of the TSA file • Free-to-Grow backlog • Strategic Planning needs • Service Agreements • Client Council priorities

  16. Openings Imported

  17. Cutting Change Layer into VRI

  18. Update Linework and Attributes

  19. Vegetation Cover Map

  20. The Future of Vegetation Update • Industry collects most of the information • RESULTS will supply spatial and attribute information; • Reduce duplication of other reporting requirements; • No significant alteration to the delivered data; • Staff resources have stabilized; • TFLs continue to deal with update - status quo; • Timely access to the updated data; • Retire the INCOSADA suite of tools when new Arc Based tools are available (May 2005)
