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.
