Land Cover Classification 2014 – 5m Hybrid (Raster)

<div class="ExternalClassFA0C745DB3D9456BA37AD3541DAC4B01"><p>A land cover classification for Metro Vancouver, Abbotsford and a 5km buffer, providing a contiguous surface mapped to broad biophysical classes. Created using RapidEye 5m multi-spectral satellite imagery and full feature LiDAR data (wherever available). The imagery dates from August 2014.</p><p>The dataset is available in both raster and vector formats but raster is recommended for display and generalized mapping uses.</p><p>Approach: the 2m LiDAR layer was downscaled to 5m, and merged with the 5m non-hybrid, creating a seamless 5m hybrid layer for the study area.</p></div>

Metro Vancouver acknowledges that the region’s residents live, work, and learn on the shared territories of many Indigenous peoples, including 10 local First Nations: Katzie, Kwantlen, Kwikwetlem, Matsqui, Musqueam, Qayqayt, Semiahmoo, Squamish, Tsawwassen, and Tsleil-Waututh.

Metro Vancouver respects the diverse and distinct histories, languages, and cultures of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit, which collectively enrich our lives and the region.
