Title

Forest Management Boundaries District 

Alternate title

FORMB100_DISTRICT 

Purpose

Forest Management Blocks are a fundamental forest management administrative unit. FORMB100 plays a key role in describing the location of forest related entities such as logging coupes both at the block level and at higher levels such as districts and FMAs.. Entry of linework is consistent with the Departmental Standing Instruction (no. 01-20-0246- 1).The instruction states that FMA boundaries must follow block boundaries and that block boundaries must follow stable features such as roads, streams etc. The Departmental Instruction can be found in the supporting documentation. Any future alterations to FMA or block boundaries require approval as per the Instruction. FORMB25 is a related dataset which delineates areas down to the compartment level. FORMB25 and FORMB100 should be maintained concurrently. However, until the FORMB25 coverage is complete, the FORMB100 coverage is the most authorative statewide definition of block and other administrative boundaries. The AS2482 code which reflects the feature used to define the boundary (eg: road or stream) should be completed.
