The Forest Botany Manual defines remnant forest as greater than 1 hectare in size and separated ‘stands by more than 2.0 kilometres from the closest area of native forest or woodland that exceeds 20 hectares in area.’ Does the proposed FPP area contain remnant native forest within the operational area? YES NO UNSURE If YES or UNSURE, provide details including proposed actions to manage remnant vegetation in Table 6. Table 6 Remnants, potential impact and proposed management actions Description of remnant Potential impact from Proposed actions to manage (including size of remnant and operation (provide details) potential impact location within the FPP area) 4.4 Hybridisation FPA Flora Technical Note 12 provides information on which native eucalypts are susceptible to hybridisation with Eucalyptus nitens and how to recognise hybrid seedlings. Does the proposed operation include the establishment of Eucalyptus nitens plantation trees within 500 metres of: threatened native Eucalypts with a high risk of hybridisation, or a threatened native forest community with a high risk of hybridisation YES NO UNSURE If YES or UNSURE provide details 4.5 Effects on reserves Is the FPP within or directly adjacent (e.g. sharing a boundary) to a formal reserve, informal reserve, special management zone or private land reserve? If give details in Table 7. YES NO YES, Reserves include: Formal reserves (e.g. World Heritage Area, State Reserve, Forest Reserve); Informal reserves (that have been dedicated as such for their flora values e.g. CAR informal reserves); Special Management Zones for Flora or Fauna; Private land reserves (e.g. Private Forest Reserves Program, Protected Areas on Private Land, etc.) Note that wildlife habitat strips are assessed in section 5. Table 7 Reserve name, potential impact and proposed management action.
