(Dragonfly Pond), ES65743 (Woodpecker Pond), and ES065749 (Kingfisher Pond) for the

dispose of the biomass on site by burning, subject to the following terms, as amended:
Every effort is made to minimize the area of soil impacted by excavator;1.
No other motorized vehicles are permitted in the covenant areas;2.
Preference is given to disposal of hawthorn in brush piles as close to treatment sites
as possible and large enough to reduce the risk of regenerating cuttings;

The number of burn piles is minimized;4.
Burn pile locations must be pre-selected in consultation with Islands Trust
Conservancy staff to avoid impacts to native plants, wildlife, and habitat structures;
5.
The work must occur during the months of September–February to minimize
impacts on natural values, and must be completed by the end of February 2026;
6.
The coordinates of excavated trees, brush piles, and burn piles are documented and
provided to the Islands Trust Conservancy Board; and

Every effort is made to work with Parks Canada to have experts in heritage
