[Talk-ca] Yukon Mapping Protected areas

[Matt Wilkie]

Hi Sam,

1000k and 250k parks data c.2008 is available from
http://www.environmentyukon.ca/geomatics/govdata.html. There is an
update pending for Old Crow Flats special management area "Real Soon
Now(tm)".

Surveyed protected areas can be nabbed from
http://clss.nrcan.gc.ca/datalicence-licencedonnees-eng.php?rg=yt

I don't know anyone involved in the KTA,or more likely I know people
but I don't of their involvement. :) I'll ask around.

cheers,

-matt
