C1533-South Greenhill-SCI Final with Additions C1533 South Greenhill Lake Sand Delta Conservation Reserve Statement of Conservation Interest February 2005 Prepared by: Angela Anderson Approval Statement We are pleased to approve this Statement of Conservation Interest (SCI) for the South Greenhill Lake Sand Delta Conservation Reserve (C1533). Direction for the establishment, planning and management of conservation reserves is defined under the Public Lands Act and the Crown Land Use Policy Atlas . South Greenhill Lake Sand Delta Conservation Reserve is located approximately 45 km northeast of the town of Dubreuilville. The conservation reserve (CR) has an area of 1,463 hectares and is situated in the Chapleau Crown Game Preserve. The CR is within the Magpie Forest Management Unit in the Wawa District. The public was invited to comment on the proposed boundary of South Greenhill Lake Sand Delta CR in September 2000. The public will be invited to comment on this draft SCI in early 2005. Comments and concerns registered will be reflected in the final Statement of Conservation Interest. A final inspection opportunity will be provided for the public to review the approved SCI document. This document was prepared by an interdisciplinary planning team having expertise in forest ecology, biology, land management, and fire management. A draft was provided to the MNR Regional Planning Unit for review. This Basic SCI provides guidance for the management of the South Greenhill Lake Sand Delta Conservation Reserve and provides the basis for the ongoing monitoring of activities. More detailed direction is not anticipated at this time. Should significant facility development be considered or complex issues arise requiring additional studies, more defined management direction, or special protection measures, a more detailed Resource Management Plan will be prepared with full public consultation. The South Greenhill Lake Sand Delta Conservation Reserve is managed under the jurisdiction of the District Manager and the Magpie/Nagagami Area Supervisor, Wawa District, Ministry of Natural Resources.

Statement of Conservation Interest (SCI) is to identify and describe the values of the South Greenhill Lake Sand Delta Conservation Reserve. The SCI also outlines the activities that occur within the conservation reserve (CR) and provides guidelines for the management of current and future activities in the context of protecting the natural, social and cultural values of the conservation reserve. A SCI is prepared under the authority of Procedural Guideline A – Resource Management Planning (PL Procedure 3.03.05) of the Public Lands Act . Ontario’s Living Legacy Land Use Strategy (1999) and the Crown Land Use Policy Atlas (updated 2004) outline the general land use policy and management direction for new conservation reserves. Each new conservation reserve will have a planning document, either a SCI or, in more complex situations a Resource Management Plan, that details site-specific management direction. This Basic SCI provides guidance for the management of the South Greenhill Lake Sand Delta Conservation Reserve and provides the basis for ongoing monitoring of activities. Although more detailed direction is not anticipated at this time, should significant facility development be considered or complex issues arise requiring additional studies, more defined management direction, or special protection measures, a more detailed Resource Management Plan will be prepared with full public consultation. Conservation reserves protect natural heritage values on public lands while permitting compatible land use activities. By allocating these lands to the parks and protected areas system through regulation, the province has ensured a certain level of permanence by distinguishing the conservation reserve and its values from the larger general use or more extensively managed landscape. In addition, the conservation reserve’s natural features are, and will be available for present and future generations to enjoy and explore. Ontario’s Living Legacy Land Use Strategy was approved in 1999. The objectives of the Land Use Strategy are to complete Ontario’s system of protected areas; recognize the land use needs of resource-based tourism industry; provide forestry, mining and resource industries with greater certainty around land and resource use; and enhance hunting, angling and other Crown Land recreational opportunities. South Greenhill Lake Sand Delta Conservation Reserve was created as part of the expansion of protected areas. South Greenhill Lake Sand Delta is a 1,463 hectare conservation
