 |   Ceaservation area 2 (approx 4 ha)
      A minimum 40m wide riparian buffer, along the leagth of the creek, has been designated as a |
     conservation area. No forestry activities will be carried out here to ensure protection for the
     area mapped ‘of concem’ Regional Ecosystem and the scheduled species — Symplocos harroldit
      (Hairy Hazelwood) previously mentioned.                                               |
      The 2rea contains the greatest floral diversity oa the property and will provide a wildlife haven
      free of disturbance. Such a buffer will help to maintain water quality and reduce any impact
      from harvest operations.                                                              |

       Section 4          Summary                                                           |

      On investigating the vegetation on Lots | and 2 Belli Creck Road (SP175064) it was found to
     comprise of a mixture of open land and forested areas of varying age. Better quality forest
 |    consists of 30 — $0 year old regrowth and is in good condition. Examples of several Regional
      Ecosystems were present — onc is classified ‘of concem” along the creck and is protected !
      within a designated conservation area. One scheduled species was recorded near the
      boundary on the creek — Symplocos harroldii and also falls within the protected area. Weed
|     invasion is not yet too serious, but several weeds of concem are listed in Section 2.2 that will
      necd on-going control to reduce threats to the natural biodiversity and productivity.
|     The landowner states that all forestry besed activities undertaken will comply with the “code
|     applying to native forest practice on freehold !and”. This document forms the basis of
      vegetation management on the property.                                               |
