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.
