Increasing concern is being expressed about the loss of forest land to non-forest uses, and the need to conserve the forest land base, especially the high capability forest land which is often the most accessible. This study of the Canada Land Use Monitoring Program outlines a methodology used to examine land-use change on forest land in the Prince George area of B.C. between 1965 and 1981. Study results reveal that during this time period, built-up and improved agricultural land uses increased substantially in area on high capability forest land.
