Abstract:
The purpose of this dataset is to identify areas harvested after the date of the inventory. The Forest
Stewardship and Trade Branch is responsible for the creation and maintenance of these boundaries for
Crown-managed Forest Management Units. This dataset is produced for the Government of Alberta and is
available to the general public.
Purpose:
This dataset consolidates all AVI Crown Post-Inventory Harvest Areas into a single feature class. The AVI
Crown Post-Inventory Harvest Areas updates identify those areas harvested after the inventory date. It is
important to identify those areas where the forest cover has been altered and/or removed. It provides
supplementary information to the AVI repository to assist in the analysis and decision-making process for
forest management planning, wildfire management, wildlife habitat classification and integrated resource
management activities. This dataset was previously known as AVI Crown Post-Inventory Cutblocks.

Absolute external positional accuracy:
Measure description:
Horizontal accuracy of older data is +/- 20 metres. Newer datasets have a horizontal accuracy of +/- 5
metres. Cutblocks would have been captured at a medium scale level of photography between 1:15,000 and
1:30,000 scales or at 30cm digital imagery.

Statement:
This dataset does not contain cutblocks historically managed by the Crown that are outside the current
extent of Crown-managed FMUs. Harvested areas already captured in the AVI dataset are removed from this
post inventory data. Note that the associated AVI data is available as a separate feature class, Alberta
Vegetation Inventory (AVI) Crown, that is distributed with the AVI Post Inventory Cutblocks. The extent
of the AVI Crown dataset does not exactly coincide with the extent of the AVI Post Inventory Cutblocks
dataset.
Process step:
Process step:
Description:
This process of the integration of cutblocks from numerous source data sets involves reconciliation of
spatial boundaries and specifically removal of duplicates, slivers, multi-shape. Information was
validated with SPOT 2.5 metre panchromatic mosaic. Cutblocks corresponding to features already
existing in the AVI repository were updated or removed. Multipart features were converted to
separate polygons.
