Conserving Habitat Sample Clauses

Conserving Habitat. Recognition of rights-of-way as habitat for monarchs and other pollinators has been growing in recent years. According to a literature review completed by Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx (2012), there is a range of research supporting the value of corridor management for pollinator conservation. Xxxxxxx et al. (2005) investigated whether selective herbicide use within rights-of-way might produce higher quality habitat for native bees as compared to mowing. After studying bees collected within managed rights-of-way and nearby mowed fields at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center (Maryland), Xxxxxxx et al. (2005) found that transmission line sites had more spatially and numerically rare species than the grassy fields undergoing a similar management regime. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx (2012) note that many pollinators, including butterflies and bees, prefer the early successional habitats maintained in established rights-of-way for foraging. They note that the open sunny conditions are likely habitats for pollinators. Food plants used by butterflies and other pollinators often change between seasons and years due to shifts in the composition of the flowering community. This suggests that restoration and conservation focused on plant diversity is important (Xxxx et al. 2011 citing Dupont et al. 2009, Xxxxxx et al. 2008, and Xxxxxxxxx et al. 2008). Within the context of rights-of-way and land management, use of integrated vegetation management and a suite of land management techniques have been found to benefit pollinators, including butterflies. For example, occasional mowing in rights-of-way (once or twice a year) has been found to increase occurrences of bees and butterflies due to increased food plant availability and openness needed for sunning purposes. Overall, mowing was found to be better than no mowing (Champagne and Xxxxxxxx 2000 and Noordijk et al. 2009). Xxxxxxx et al. (1999) similarly found greater butterfly diversity in land management systems that used herbicide treatment that specifically focused on the reduction or removal of grasses and trees.

  • Parking A. Landlord shall make available to Tenant, provided Tenant is not in default under this Lease, throughout the Term Seven (7) parking permits (the “Permits”) to allow access to the parking garage located at the Property (the “Building Garage”) which is used in connection with the operation of the Building. Of said Seven (7) Permits granted to Tenant, each shall be standard unreserved. In consideration therefor, Tenant will pay to Landlord as Additional Rent and with each installment of Base Rent due under the Lease, the Parking Charge (hereinafter defined) hereinafter provided. The Permits shall only be valid between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. daily and between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays. Except with respect to any limited reserved parking that Landlord may establish and for which Landlord may increase the Parking Charge, all tenant parking in the Building Garage will be on a non-reserved, first-come, first-serve basis. Landlord may elect to establish parking zones in the Building Garage and if Landlord so elects, the Permits may be issued to specifically identified vehicles and the Parking Charge may relate to specified zone(s) as determined by Landlord.

The total amount of Parking Charges for the Permits abated during the Parking Charge Abatement Period shall equal $0.00 (the “Abated Parking Charges”). If Tenant Defaults at any time during the Term, and any extension thereof, and Tenant fails to cure such Default within any applicable cure period under the Lease, all Abated Parking Charges shall immediately become due and payable, and all future rights of Tenant to the Abated Parking Charges shall be null and void and of no further force or effect. The payment by Tenant of the Abated Parking Charges in the event of a Default shall not limit or affect any of Landlord’s other rights, pursuant to this Lease or at law or in equity. During the Parking Charge Abatement Period, only Parking Charges for the Permits shall be abated, and all Base Rent, Additional Rent and other costs and charges specified in this Lease shall remain as due and payable pursuant to the provisions of this Lease. C.
