Summary

This schedule provides the recommended criteria for identifying Significant Wildlife Habitat (SWH) within Ecoregion 7E.

Planning authorities, or anyone involved in assessing wildlife habitat significance in Ecoregion 7E, use this schedule along with the Significant wildlife habitat technical guide when completing an ecological site assessment.

The schedules, including descriptions of wildlife habitat, wildlife species, and the criteria provided for determining SWH, are based on science and expert knowledge.

Tables 1.1 through 1.4 within the Schedules provide guidance for SWH designation for the four categories of SWH outlined in the significant wildlife habitat technical guide and its appendices.

Table 1.5 contains and provides descriptions for exceptions. Exceptions are candidate wildlife habitats that have different criteria than what is proposed in the above schedules (Tables 1.1 through 1.4) for an area within the Eco-region.
