Conservation Lands

Conservation Lands Conservation Lands spatial and attribute data. This includes related information on various types/classes of land secured for fish, wildlife and habitat conservation purposes. It includes Wildlife Management Areas (WMA) designated by Order in Council (OIC). Source data are from Tantalis as well as the derived product from GeoBC. Overlap between this dataset and the [__NGO Conservation Areas - Fee Simple__](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/ngo-conservation-areas-fee-simple) dataset will occur where NGO lands have been leased to the province. Discrepancies between the provincial layers and this dataset are due to differing source cadastral information. A [__Conservation Cross Reference Table__](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/db6d4e9d-aa20-4682-9e43-ad6ae52f4466) provides a link between this dataset and the NGO Conservation Areas – Fee Simple dataset. The CIP_PCL field in the NGO Conservation Areas dataset links to the Conservation_Land_ID field in the provincial Conservation Lands dataset. 2025-04-30 Government of British Columbia Christina.Waddle@gov.bc.ca Nature and EnvironmentScience and TechnologyOICWMAconservationconservation landwildlife management areaGovernment information BC Geographic Warehouse Custom DownloadHTML https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/conservation-lands/resource/e068e155-87e3-4bd9-8c71-a6305f1ff446 Original metadata (https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca)HTML https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/conservation-lands WCL_CONSERVATION_LANDS_SPKML https://openmaps.gov.bc.ca/kml/geo/layers/WHSE_LEGAL_ADMIN_BOUNDARIES.WCL_CONSERVATION_LANDS_SP_loader.kml WCL_CONSERVATION_LANDS_SPWMS https://openmaps.gov.bc.ca/geo/pub/WHSE_LEGAL_ADMIN_BOUNDARIES.WCL_CONSERVATION_LANDS_SP/ows?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities&layers=pub:WHSE_LEGAL_ADMIN_BOUNDARIES.WCL_CONSERVATION_LANDS_SP&legend_format=image/png&feature_info_type=text/plain WCL_CONSERVATION_LANDS_SPWMS https://openmaps.gov.bc.ca/geo/pub/WHSE_LEGAL_ADMIN_BOUNDARIES.WCL_CONSERVATION_LANDS_SP/ows?service=WMS&request=GetCapabilities&layers=pub:WHSE_LEGAL_ADMIN_BOUNDARIES.WCL_CONSERVATION_LANDS_SP&legend_format=image/png&feature_info_type=text/plain
