The Phase 1 (Broad Scale) Forest Inventory included all publicly owned forested lands in the province except Indian lands, national parks, and an area known as the Rocky Mountains Forest Reserve. The Phase 1 (Broad Scale) Forest Inventory was used to define lands suitable for agriculture, to determine timber harvest levels and plan forest protection and timber and industrial development. Through aerial photo interpretation, land was classified as productive, potentially productive, or non-productive. On productive forest land, homogeneous groups of trees were classified by "cover types". Cover types included crown density, height and tree species. Burned, harvested or cultivated land was identified as potentially productive. Non-productive lands included areas with organic soils, barren rock and lakes. No ages or site classes are associated with the polygons. The minimum polygon size was 65 ha. These maps are not available as geo-referenced rectified images or GIS-ready data. This historical map series consists of the Phase 1 (Broad Scale) Forest Inventory printed monochrome maps named using the National Topographic System (NTS) map sheet identifier within Alberta. completed Alberta Agriculture and Forestry, Government of Alberta Forest Resource Analysis, Forest Management Branch, Forestry Division 7804225229 7804270084

This resulted in concern over lack of knowledge about the extent of the provincial forest resource, and led to fears that the timber supply could be easily depleted. The Phase 1, or Broad Scale, Forest Inventory was initiated in 1949 in response to these concerns. The inventory served as the information base to plan the management of Alberta's forest resource. The Phase 1 (Broad Scale) Forest Inventory background and methodology are described in the "Alberta Phase 3 Inventory An Overview" (RIB# 874) which is included in the download package. notPlanned
