Weekly point-in-time captures of forest harvest applications from two regulators that discard the pending stage of their own pipelines. CAL FIRE publishes proposed timber harvest plans for California but keeps no permanent record of plans that are withdrawn. Skogsstyrelsen publishes Swedish felling notifications that age out of the live service after roughly five years, while retaining performed harvests back to 1979. Both regulators keep what was completed and delete what was abandoned, so withdrawal and expiry leave no trace in the official record. This dataset preserves each week's state of both pending queues as the bytes were served, with a manifest row recording the URL, fetch time and SHA-256 of every capture.
History held: 2026-09-04 to 2026-10-20.
Figures are rebuilt from the derived tables on every run; each one names the entities it is about so it can be acted on without a further query.

calfire.harvest.proposed | CAL FIRE | weekly | California state open data; see https://data.ca.gov/ and CAL FIRE's terms |

Derived tables are CSV under data/ in
the repository; the bytes they came from are under
raw/, and SOURCES.md lists every source URL.
Every observation carries source_id and raw_ref. The
matching manifest row holds that raw_ref with the URL, the fetch
timestamp and a SHA-256 of exactly what came back, so any number here traces to
the bytes it came from.
