Morel mushroom areas are derived from the previous years forest fire areas. Recently burned areas are most likely to produce mushrooms the following spring. Managing mushroom harvesting areas considers other land uses, for example, all private land, territorial parks and first nation lands have been removed from the morel mushroom areas. This data will be updated annually and will only contain polygons from the previous fire year. Please refer to the Fire History dataset for historic fire locations .

This is point GIS coverage consisting of either fire ignition locations or centroids of fire polygons where the exact location of fire ignition were unknown for fires within the Yukon, spanning a period from 1946 to present. Although the temporal scale of the coverage goes back to late 1940's, Yukon-wide fire detection capability was not fully developed until the 1960's. In addition to this, access to regular aerial mapping was not readily available until that same time period. As a result many fires in the 40's and 50's were simply not recorded or poorly mapped, particularly in the north. For that reason, care must be taken when drawing conclusions from these data as it relates to the early years. Starting 2020 on the data was automatically updated using iFMS.

*Yukon Aerial Imagery - Most Recent* is distributed from the Government of Yukon imagery repository. This is a dynamic image service containing aerial photographs and LiDAR imagery for locations in the Yukon, Canada. All imagery captured since 2022 is in this service. Older imagery will be added over time. This data is in Yukon Albers equal area projection. It can be viewed and queried in the GeoYukon application: [https://mapservices.gov.yk.ca/GeoYukon](https://mapservices.gov.yk.ca/GeoYukon).

Fire management zones help guide how wildfires are prioritized and managed and show where wildfires may be used to achieve ecological objectives. Zones are based on relatively constant factors, such as the level of human use or development and the presence of reliable fuel breaks.
