"http://nfdp.ccfm.org/frames2_e.htm" The Canadian Council of Forest Ministers (CCFM) founded the National Forestry Database Program (NFDP) in 1990 to establish a comprehensive national forestry database, to develop a public information program, an d to provide forestry information to the federal, provincial and territorial policy processes. Natural Resources Canada (NRCan), Canadian Forest Service (CFS) developed and maintains the National Forestry Database. The CFS has responsibility for disseminating national forestry statistics and for responding to questions f rom the public. The National Forestry Database (NFD) is the central database used to compile Canada's national forestry statistics. The database is structured to permit a description of the level of activity in any period, and to mark change in activity and in the resource itself. Most of the provinci al and territorial data appearing in the NFD are provided each year to the d atabase managers by the provincial or territorial resource management organi zations. The CFS compiles information for federal lands from data provided by the responsible federal departments. Forest inventory data are compiled every five years.
