H/T Michael Wulder |Senior Research Scientist at Natural Resources Canada
“Canada is a forest nation. Its forests are spatially extensive, ecologically diverse, and of global importance. While national level forest statistics are used for international reporting and comparison, they often fail to reflect the distinctive structure and stewardship context of Canada’s forest estate, which includes millions of hectares of remote, unmanaged forests alongside actively managed zones governed by provincial and territorial stewardship frameworks...”

“The Canadian Hydrospatial Network (CHN) is a map-based dataset that includes Canada's lakes, rivers, watersheds and other water features and their connections to each other.
It's applications include:
🗺️ serving as a foundation for advanced hydrologic and hydraulic modelling, including for flooding and drought
🗺️ supporting water and watershed management
🗺️ providing essential base data for cartography…”
You can now explore six new regions …”

“There are approximately 70 fires currently burning across the country, primarily in northern B.C., northern Alberta and the southern Northwest Territories, according to Michael Norton from Natural Resources Canada (#NRCAN).

Norton said at a technical briefing earlier Wednesday that most of the blazes are “#HoldoverFires from 2023 that smouldered through the warm, dry winter we experienced and have become more active as spring progresses.”

@sboots have you received many updates.after this call out?

I just updated all services through #ESDC VPN by way of Google form. How long until this is pushed to the web reports?

When was the last time #NRCAN was updated? I might have a means to do that too.

What would be the next top 10 depts needing an update?

Any depts missing even a single entry?

Thanks for leading this Mr.Boots
