Natural Heritage Values Area Coordinate system: 4269 - "NAD83" Abstract: Inclusive spatial data layer of all unregulated but identified protected area layers, includes recommended provincial parks, conservation reserves, proposed protected areas and forest reserves. May or may not have gone through a land use planning exercise. A natural heritage values area is defined as an area Recommended or Proposed for protection that may be subject to interim protection policies, including Provincial Parks (additions and new), Conservation Reserves (additions and new) and Forest Reserves (additions to Provincial Parks or Conservation Reserves or standalone). Supplementary tables can be used and are available for download from the additional documentation section. This layer is part of what was known as the OMNR Non-Fundamental Dataset.
