Biodiversity Overlay Review

area of vegetation shown on the Regulated Vegetation Management Map -
       1) that has at least 3 essential habitat factors for the protected wildlife that must include any essential habitat factors
       that are stated as mandatory for the protected wildlife in the essential habitat database. Essential habitat factors are
       comprised of - regional ecosystem (mandatory for most species), vegetation community, altitude, soils, position in
       landscape; or
       2) in which the protected wildlife, at any stage of its life cycle, is located.


If there is no essential habitat mapping shown on the vegetation management supporting map for this lot, and there is no
table in the sections below, it confirms that there is no essential habitat on the lot.
