objects into 27 different major classes — 16 vegetation, six artificial vegetation and five non-vegetation. They exported the classification into ArcGIS and again validated the results with existing data and ground truthing. They finalized the map in October and published it online in December 2018. The map for Ille-et-Vilaine was released online in September 2019. Côtes-d'Armor's map was published in January 2020 and the map for Morbihan is scheduled for release in June 2020. All the maps are freely available on the CBN's website (cbnbrest.fr/cgtv-bzh), and once all maps are complete, Sellin's team will combine them to create one seamless vegetation map of the whole region — all 680,656 ha of it. "With these maps, people can now easily see the different types of vegetation and its distribution," said Sellin. "It's a holistic view planners and managers have never had before and they have been rushing to see and use the data."
