CPCAD sites (forestry aggregates separate)
What this layer shows
Federal, provincial and other reported protected and conserved areas. OECMs and interim areas are different categories from protected areas; read the original classification and status. This reporting inventory is not a cadastral or legal-boundary determination. It overlaps the provincial protected-lands layer. Province-wide wildlife-habitat and legal old-growth aggregate records are excluded here; use the detailed BC wildlife habitat and legal old-growth layers for those constraints.

In these presets
Nature protection
British Columbia, including Vancouver Island and Haida Gwaii. Provincial protected lands and CPCAD are the free starting view; compare their original categories and status rather than counting overlaps as different sites.
Landscape
BC land-use screening. Confirm the designation or tenure and current official decisions. These layers do not replace title, cadastral, archaeology or local-planning searches.
