Condition 6. Defence will be provided advance notification of any proposed changes to reserve boundaries on Defence land and will be given 40 days to provide a submission on the feasibility of changes with respect to Defence use of the area. Condition 7. The reserve boundaries will delineate the actual CAR values. Defence will establish operational and environmental management buffer around the reserves based on particular land use activities that may occur adjacent to the reserves. The buffer zones will be identified in the Defence Environmental Management Plans. The buffer zones will be designed to permit appropriate levels of wildlife and conservation connectivity between isolated stands of the CAR identified forest areas. ITEM 20 DELETED. 3.
