ELC_trca

Polygon layer displaying Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) ecological land classification (ELC) data. TRCA's Terrestrial Monitoring and Inventory Group utilizes a variety of data collection methods in order to gain an understanding of the natural system at different scales. The methods have been chosen to complement each other and provide a more complete picture of all the components of the natural system; this provides the information basis for further data analysis and interpretation that will eventually assist land planning decisions and action. ELC is collected on an annual basis in various locations by biologists.
