Forest statistical data
Natural Resources Canada’s Forest Statistical Data pages provide annually updated insights into Canada’s forests. The data cover key areas such as the forestry industry’s contributions to the economy, employment, consumption, trade and investment, forest inventory and management, forest disturbances, and greenhouse gas fluxes. Sourced from complementary databases-- including the National Forestry Database-- the information is presented through interactive graphs, data tables, and downloadable files, for easy access and use. All data come from trusted national, provincial, and territorial authorities and are centralized in one convenient location. Adhering to international standards, these data sets support informed decision-making and contributing to global reporting efforts.
