Summary
Abstract: This raster layer contains the converted and accessed forest grid published in
Canada's Forests at a Crossroads: An Assessment in the Year 2000. This layer is
derived from the CCRS Land Cover of Canada (1995) and describes accessed and
unaccessed forest lands, land converted to urban uses, and nonforest areas.
This analysis is based on a national transportation dataset at 1: 250,000.
