The MOG spatial dataset shows the modelled extent of Old Growth Forest in Victoria. This spatial layer is based on the MOG2009, with reduced extent based on disturbances from fire and timber harvesting up to July 2018.
Coming soon - The addition of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data for parts of the Central Highlands and East Gippsland will be added progressively through 2019-20. The addition of these LiDAR derived classifications to the MOG dataset, will provide Victoria's most complete and up to date assessment of Victoria's modelled old growth forest extent.

Abstract:
The MOG spatial dataset shows the modelled extent of Old Growth Forest in Victoria. This spatial layer is based on the MOG2009, with reduced extent based on disturbances from fire and timber harvesting up to July 2018.
Coming soon - The addition of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data for parts of the Central Highlands and East Gippsland will be added progressively through 2019-20. The addition of these LiDAR derived classifications to the MOG dataset, will provide Victoria's most complete and up to date assessment of Victoria's modelled old growth forest extent.

Purpose:
MOG is used in various forest management planning and policy development.
All old growth forest must be protected from threatening processes such as timber harvesting activities.
Forest Planners across Government and non-Government organisations are encouraged to utilise this new data as part of their risk management plans to protect old growth.
For areas of modelled old growth forest that have been mapped outside of the formal Comprehensive, Adequate and Representative (CAR) reserve system; forest management planners will need to confirm in the field the presence and extent of the old growth forest community prior to any forest management activity commencing.
