Abstract: Sub-regional plans support working landscapes that provide economic opportunities and maintain healthy landscapes by outlining management approaches and requirements for development and human footprint restoration. These plans enable public lands to support the interests of all Albertans, including Indigenous peoples, for the present and into the future. The Upper Smoky Sub-Regional Plan Spatial Data collection contains spatial data that can be used for planning as described within the Upper Smoky Sub-regional Plan (2025) and has been developed by Lands Planning, Alberta Environment and Protected Areas, Government of Alberta. The following datasets are available: Subregional Plan Boundaries, Management Zones, Conservation Areas, Watercourse Management Areas, Riparian Areas along the Wapiti and Smoky Rivers, Public Land Use Zone, and Harvest Timing Sequences E10 and G16.

Abstract:
Sub-regional plans support working landscapes that provide economic opportunities and maintain healthy
landscapes by outlining management approaches and requirements for development and human footprint
restoration. These plans enable public lands to support the interests of all Albertans, including Indigenous
peoples, for the present and into the future. The Upper Smoky Sub-Regional Plan Spatial Data collection
contains spatial data that can be used for planning as described within the Upper Smoky Sub-regional Plan
(2025) and has been developed by Lands Planning, Alberta Environment and Protected Areas, Government of
Alberta. The following datasets are available: Subregional Plan Boundaries, Management Zones, Conservation
Areas, Watercourse Management Areas, Riparian Areas along the Wapiti and Smoky Rivers, Public Land Use Zone,
and Harvest Timing Sequences E10 and G16.
Purpose:
The Upper Smoky Sub-Regional Plan Spatial Data collection is designed to support the development of the Upper
Smoky Sub-Regional Plan (2025) and guide decision-making within the Upper Smoky Sub-Region.
