Rural district (RD) polygons are a graphical representation of the rural district boundaries as defined in regulation 2022-45 under the Local Governance Act with an associated RD name attribute. Effective date is January 1, 2023.

Municipal polygons are a graphical representation of the former municipal boundaries as defined in the Municipalities Regulation - Municipalities Act and have an associated place name attribute. These boundaries are no longer in effect as of January 1, 2023.

Mineral tenure layer with the boundaries of current mineral claims and mining leases.

This dataset contains the boundaries of CFB Gagetown military base. It was generated from data provided by Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC).

County boundaries for New Brunswick.

The Forest Health Section currently monitors for two insects using pheromone traps. Pheromones are the chemical signal insects created by the insect for communication. Pheromones are used for numerous types of communication. In some species they are used to call other insects together (e.g....

DNRED has archived images of wall maps that represent pest management treatment plans from 1952-1993. The level of detail of the maps varies greatly over the 40 years of records. Typically, these maps are at a scale of 1:500,000 where 1 centimeter represents 5 kilometers on the ground. The...

Spruce budworm is the most destructive, native defoliating insect in eastern Canada. When budworm populations reach outbreak levels, significant ecological and economic damage occurs (see www.healthyforestpartnership.ca for more details). In New Brunswick, budworm populations are tracked through...

Buffer zones surrounding mapped watercourses and wetlands where forest activity is regulated on Crown land to maintain water quality and aquatic habitat.

This layer contains point features that represent New Brunswick Geological Survey till sample locations where laboratory grain size analysis was completed. Grain size data are contained in the attribute data for each location. Grain size analysis is limited to the dry-sieved <2 mm fraction...

The data represents roads not maintained by DTI whose primary purpose is to access the forest resources on crown or private land within the province.

Dataset featuring the spatial location of stand improvement (precommercial thinning, plantation cleaning) treatments on private woodlots and provincial Crown Lands. The dataset is a record of silvicultural treatments going back to 2005 which is used to inform the history of forest management...

This layer contains polygon features that represent the generalized surficial geology of New Brunswick. Unconsolidated materials occurring over bedrock, are classified according to physical attributes and genesis, and categorized into map units. This layer is intended to be used at small scales...

This layer contains point features that represent reconnaissance till sampling locations collected by the New Brunswick Geological Survey between 1986 and 2014. Samples were collected on an approximated 2 km grid, with increased density over areas of interest. At each location, observations and...

Provides the locations of known farms within the Province of New Brunswick.

This layer contains point features that represent till sampling locations collected by the New Brunswick Geological Survey between 2014 and present. Sampled areas and sample density are dependent on the goals of the project and historical sampling. At each location, observations and measurements...

Spatial location of all harvesting identified in the first 10 years of 2012 Forest Management Plans for Crown timber licenses. Blocks are identified by broad treatment category and by the period (2012-2016 and 2017-2022) they are available for harvest.

Dataset featuring the spatial location of reforestation (plantation) treatments on private woodlots and provincial Crown Lands. The dataset is a record of silvicultural treatments going back to 2005 which is used to inform the history of forest management activities on private woodlots and...

This layer contains point features that represent the locations of exploration trenches in New Brunswick. Geological data collected in exploration trenches are useful for mineral exploration and bedrock mapping. These data were compiled using archived mineral assessment reports of work (1950s to...

This layer contains polygon features that represent granular aggregate deposits in New Brunswick. ‘Granular Aggregate’ is the term used to describe naturally occurring deposits of sand and gravel formed during the last ice-age when glaciers were melting and receding. These important resources,...
