Comment
"Woodlands include treed areas, woodlots or forested areas and vary in their level of significance at the
local, regional and provincial levels. Woodlands may be delineated according to the Forestry Act definition or the Province’s Ecological Land Classification system definition for “forest”.
These statements are contradictory. The first sentence says that woodlands can include 1. treed areas 2. woodlots or 3. forested areas whereas the second sentence outlines that woodlands may be delineated as "Forest" in the ELC system. Suggested to be updated to read "may be delineated as forest (FO) OR woodland (WO) within the ELC system" to ensure that woodlots (35-60% canopy coverage) and forests (>60% canopy coverage) are both included.
