Recent Changes Regarding Access to TRIM
Base Mapping and Geomatic Services (BMGS) which is part of the Integrated Land Management Bureau (ILMB) have changed their policy regarding access by forest licensees to TRIM (base map) data
In the past licensees either had to sign a Data Exchange Agreement with BMGS or else purchase TRIM data.
The new policy recognizes that forest licensees are required to submit data, including spatial data, to government under the ESF (Electronic Submissions Framework).
The new policy now provides free access to TRIM data for all forest licensees who are “ESF submitters”. (virtually all forest tenure holders)
Access to the data is through the Land and Resource Data Warehouse (LRDW).
Access is granted based on individual BCEID’s which are associated with licensees who are “ESF Submitters”. This includes employees and contractors working on behalf of licensees.
There are some restrictions on use of the data. See the letters posted below.
The system to provide access will be active starting on Friday, March 28, 2008.
