Regional or Local Number: SARA-PYR-2009-0126
Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the provisions of section 73 of the Species at Risk Act permit no. SARA-PYR-2009-0126 is issued.
Purpose:
Other type of activity necessary or beneficial to the species
Description:
The goal of this project is to protect selected populations of rare species from habitat degradation due to invasive species or conifer encroachment. The species include:
Bartramia stricta, Rigid Apple Moss
Dryopteris arguta, Coastal Wood Fern
Enthostodon fascicularis,Banded Cord-moss
Epilobium densiflorum, Dense Spike-primrose
Limnanthes macounii ,Macoun's Meadowfoam
Lotus formosissimus, Seaside Birds-foot Lotus
Lupinus densiflorus, Dense-flowered Lupine Meconella oregano, White Meconella
Microseris bigelovii, Coast Microseris
Minuartia pusilla, Dwarf Sandwort
Ranunculus alismifolius, Water-plantain Buttercup
Sanicula arctopoides, Bear's-foot Sanicle
Sanicula bipinnatifida, Purple Sanicle
Tortula laevipila, Twisted Oak Moss
The permit proposal is for multi-year species at risk (SAR) stewardship activities at several Department of National Defence (DND) properties on Southern Vancouver Island.
The SAR at each site occur in open meadows that are being encroached by invasive species such as: Scotch broom, English ivy, gorse, English holly, Daphne spurge, English hawthorn, herbaceous annual and biennial weeds, annual and perennial grasses and/or conifers. The goal is to remove the invading species from the area within and adjacent to the selected SAR populations.

Pre-Conditions:
Consistent with Section 73 (3) (a-c), the proponent also successfully demonstrated that all reasonable alternatives to the activity have been considered, all feasible measures will be taken to minimize the effect of the activity on the species, and the activity will not jeopardize its survival or recovery. Only qualified personnel, experienced in the identification of the target SAR and familiar with the specific locations, will conduct these activities.
For each SAR site, a specific stewardship plan will be developed. The plans will identify what invasive species are threats to the specific SAR at that site, and the recommended approach for managing the threat. The plans will identify specific times of year that are most suitable for stewardship actions based on the SAR biology. The plans will be developed by personnel with experience in SAR stewardship, and will be reviewed by a qualified biologist prior to implementation, in consultation with relevant Recovery Teams as required.
All treated areas will be monitored annually and follow-up treatments will be conducted as necessary. All native seeds used will be sourced locally, whenever possible from the same property at which they will be used.
