Recovery Strategy for the Boreal Felt Lichen (Erioderma pedicellatum), Atlantic Population, in Canada

The Boreal Felt Lichen (Atlantic population) is under the management jurisdiction of provincial governments. The Species at Risk Act (SARA, Section 37) requires the competent minister to prepare recovery strategies for listed extirpated, endangered, or threatened species. The boreal felt lichen was listed as Endangered under SARA in January 2005 and under the Nova Scotia Endangered Species Act in 2003. The Canadian Wildlife Service – Atlantic Region (Environment Canada) and the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources led the development of this recovery strategy, in cooperation with the New Brunswick Department of Natural Resources. The strategy meets SARA requirements in terms of content and process (Sections 39–41).

The Recovery Strategy for the Boreal Felt Lichen (Erioderma pedicellatum), Atlantic population, in Canada (Environment Canada 2007) was posted on the Species at Risk Public Registry in June 2007.

Under Section 45 of the Species at Risk Act (SARA), the competent Minister may amend a recovery strategy at any time. This Amended Recovery Strategy for the Boreal Felt Lichen (Erioderma pedicellatum), Atlantic population, in Canada (hereafter, “Amended Recovery Strategy”) is for the purposes of:

  • Amending all sections of the Recovery Strategy for the Boreal Felt Lichen, Atlantic population, in Canada, based on the most current information
  • Refining and updating critical habitat throughout the species’ recent range in Nova Scotia

Since 2007, when the Recovery Strategy for the Boreal Felt Lichen (Erioderma pedicellatum), Atlantic population, in Canada was written, the Guidelines for Completing Federal Recovery Strategy Templates (part of a series of SARA Implementation Guidance documents) have been updated considerably. Hence, this Amended Recovery Strategy has been updated in accordance with the most recent Recovery Strategy Template and the associated guidelines.

This Amended Recovery Strategy replaces the 2007 Recovery Strategy for the Boreal Felt Lichen (Erioderma pedicellatum), Atlantic population, in Canada.
