Natural Areas Sample Clauses
The 'Natural Areas' clause defines the designation, use, and management of portions of a property that are to be preserved in their natural state. Typically, this clause outlines restrictions on development, landscaping, or alterations within these areas, ensuring that native vegetation, wildlife habitats, or ecological features are maintained. For example, it may prohibit the construction of buildings or the removal of trees in specified zones. The core function of this clause is to protect environmentally sensitive or valuable land, thereby promoting conservation and preventing activities that could harm the natural character of the property.
Natural Areas. Natural Areas are to be defined as those areas not intended to be maintained such as those within forested areas. Any disagreement in what constitutes a natural area is subject to final determination by the Public Works Director or designee. Areas within the locations shown on the attached Exhibits shall be maintained by keeping the areas clean of noxious weeds such as poison oak/ivy and briars. New woody growth and underbrush less than one inch in caliper shall be removed during the growing season in a manner so as to keep the area open but retain a natural look. These areas shall be mulched with hardwood mulch for those areas containing mostly hardwood trees, or pine straw for areas containing mostly pines. The decision as to which mulch will be used shall be made by the Public Works Director or designee. Delivery of the mulch must be coordinated with the Town so that the mulch is dumped in an adjacent parking lot prior to placement in the natural area. Mulch will be placed in the area by hand. Trucks and heavy equipment shall not be used in these areas. The areas to be mulched extend 15’ from dripline towards the natural area (i.e. the entire natural area is not required to be mulched under this contract, just the outer 15’ starting at the exterior drip line). If there is a strong natural coverage by pine, then mulch would not be needed, but volunteer groundcover should be removed along with poisonous plants as described above.
Natural Areas. There are two (2) “Natural Areas” designated on the Property to ensure the protection of mature oak woodland habitat, riparian vegetation, movement of wildlife, stabilization of stream banks, and prevention of sedimentation of watercourses. The parties expressly acknowledge that the locations and boundaries of the Natural Areas may change over time with the movement of streambanks due to flooding, erosion, accretion, reliction, avulsion, and other natural events. The Natural Areas are as follows:
(i) Natural Area 1. “Natural Area 1” consists of an unnamed creek or drainage in the center of the Property, including its channel and banks, and a buffer on both sides of the creek extending fifty (50) from top of highest bank.
Natural Areas. All natural areas shall be maintained in an existing state except for the following items which shall be performed at no additional cost to the City:
1) Remove all trash and debris, or other items as determined by the General Manager, to a legal dumping site.
2) Provide and maintain a ten (10) foot barren area adjacent to any improved area.
3) Remove and/or repair any dead or broken branches, or safety hazards within two (2) hours of identification or notification.
1) Mulch in any open areas or planters once per year in Spring (April)
2) Aerate and apply City provided fertilizer in turf grass areas.
1) Aerate and apply City provided fertilizer in turf grass areas twice per year.
2) Add mulch to all planters once per year in Spring (April)
Natural Areas. The planning area is primarily agricultural; however, several streams, wetlands, and small lakes are also present. With the exception of the Erie Dam/▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lake WMA and the Erie Dam State Recreation Area, located in the western part of the planning area, no county, state, or federal preserves or designated natural areas are present.
Natural Areas. Areas allowed to exist in a natural condition by allowing physical and biological processes to operate, usually without direct human intervention, structures or paved roads.
Natural Areas. Non-irrigated natural areas shall be mowed on request of the District and as displayed in the MAP PROVIDED BY THE DISTRICT (Frequency of mows consist of five times for high visible native areas and three times for native located behind houses as noted on the map).
Natural Areas. The Meuse river and its green banks in outlying areas. In the northern areas around Itteren and Borgharen 'new nature' is being created in com- bination with river protection measures and gravel mining.[29] • Pietersplas, an artificial lake between Maastricht and Gronsveld that was the result of gravel pits on the banks of the Meuse river. There is a beach on the 12 8 POLITICS northern slope of the lake and a marina near Cas- tle Hoogenweerth. The eastern riverbed between Pietersplas and the provincial government building is a nature reserve (Kleine Weerd). • The Jeker Valley, along the river Jeker, starts near the city centre in Stadspark and leads via Jekerpark to an area with green ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, fertile fields, some vinyards on the slopes of Cannerberg, several water ▇▇▇▇▇ and Château Neercanne, and continues further south into Belgium. • The green flanks of Mount Saint ▇▇▇▇▇, including many footpaths.[30] • Dousberg and Zouwdal, a modest hill and valley sur- rounded by urban development on the western edge of the city, partly in Belgium. A large part of the hill is now in use as an international golf course (Golf- club Maastricht).[31] • Landgoederenzone, an extended area in the north- east of Maastricht (partly in Meerssen) consist- ing of around fifteen country estates, such as Sev- eren, Geusselt, Bethlehem, Mariënwaard, Kruis- donk, Vaeshartelt, Meerssenhoven, Borgharen and Hartelstein. Some of the castles, villas and stately homes are surrounded by industrial areas or quar- ▇▇▇▇.
