The dataset is a digital polygon coverage of privately managed forests across Tasmania, (captured at 1:25 000 scale), detailing seven broad categories (groups) of forest vegetation, which have been aggregated from photo-interpreted forest types (PI-types) derived from varying scales of colour aerial photography. Land and forests under public management are currently excluded. Photo-interpreted forest types (PI-types) are coded descriptions of forest vegetation. They classify forest into broad species groups as well as descriptions of stand structure. Full detail of PI-typing is described in Stone(1998). The currency of the PRIVATE FORESTGROUP data is as at December 2021. Adjustments for land clearing, regeneration, logging and planting are as advised by major forestry companies to Private Forests Tasmania at various times to December 2021; recent changes which are not forestry-related or not associated with the activities of major companies may not be reflected in the data. First version published 2012.
