Update 1.0 Introduction The Logan Woods Preserve is a natural area within the urban boundary of Collier County, Florida. The property is made up of two parcels, which total 7.49 acres in size,out of which the County Transportation Department has partnered with Conservation Collier to buy 1.8 acres of road easements, leaving a total of 5.69 acres for conservation. Extensive exotic removal was completed on the property in 2007, and the remaining vegetative community consists of Pine, Cypress and Cabbage palm. A site assessment to determine compliance with Conservation Collier's initial screening criteria was conducted on August 21, 2003, and the Conservation Collier Program purchased the property on October 14. 2005. Previously known as the "McIntosh Trust- property, for the previous owners, it was renamed Logan Woods Preserve in November 2006. The County holds fee simple title to the Logan Woods Preserve. The Conservation Collier program manages these lands under authority granted by the Conservation Collier Ordinance 2002-63 as amended (available from www.municode.com). Initial acquisition activities are summarized in Table 1.

To keep the acreage mentioned in this plan consistent, the total preserve acreage will be referred to at 5.69 acres for the remainder of this plan. Conservation, restoration arid natural resource-based recreation as defined by Sec. 54-275 (Ord.No. 02-63, 5. 12-3-02) are the designated uses of this property. Management activities allowed include those necessary to preserve,restore, secure and maintain this environmentally sensitive land for the benefit of present and future generations. Public use of the site must be consistent with these management goals. Conservation Collier Program Packet Page -1177- 5/27/2014 16.0.5. Logan Woods Preserve Land Management Plan 20/3 (Lndare All Land 'Management Plans must he approved by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) lot it ap . When approved, this plan will replace the Interim exiktint: Final Management Plan. 1.1 Conservation Collier: Land Acquisition Program and Management Authority The Conservation Collier program was originally approved by County voters in November 2002 and subsequently confirmed in the November 2006 ballot referendum. Both voter-approved referendums enable the program to acquire environmentally sensitive conservation lands within Collier County. Florida. Properties must support at least two of the following criteria to qualify for further consideration: rare habitat, aquifer recharge, flood control. water quality protection, and listed species habitat.The Collier County Board of County Commissioners(BCC)appointed a Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Advisory Committee (CCLAAC) to consider any selected or nominated properties that an owner has indicated a willingness to sell. The committee recommends property purchases for final approval by the BCC. property is acquired. The Lands Evaluation and Managemen: Subcommittee reyieo management plans produced by staff before th;entire CCL1.1C is able to review the piat,. .Ater er Lands acquired with Conservation Collier funds are titled to "COLLIER COUNTY. a political subdivision of the State of Florida, by and through its Conservation Collier program." The Board of County Commissioners of Collier County established the Conservation Collier program to implement the program and to manage acquired lands. As such, Conservation Collier holds management authority for the Logan Woods Preserve. 1.2 Purpose and Scope of Pian The purpose of this plan is to provide management direction for Logan Woods Preserve by identifying the goals and objectives necessary to eliminate or minimize any threats to the resources and integrity of the preserve. This text is a working document that establishes the foundation of the ten-year plan by identifying the appropriate management techniques necessary to preserve and/or restore the resource. This plan will balance resource restoration and protection with natural resource-based recreational and educational uses while looking at restoration needs,listed species protection and maintenance of the site free of invasive, exotic plant and animal species. This plan is divided into sections that incorporate an introduction. descriptions of the natural and cultural resources. projected uses of the property,management issues.and goals and objectives. 1.3 Location of the Logan Woods Preserve Logan Woods Preserve is located within the urban boundary of Collier County, Florida and consists of two(2)parcels located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Pine Ridge Road and Logan Blvd. It is located one mile east of Interstate-75 in Section 16.

The Coastal Plain extends from New Jersey to Texas and was formed mainly from sedimentary rocks deposited in marine environments(USGS 2004). 2.1.1 Topography and Geomorphology The topography of the area is relatively level with a land surface elevation of approximately 13 feet (4 meters) above mean sea level. The property lies within the USGS Topographic Quadrangle Map for Bell Meade NW Florida. Surface water percolates directly into the ground or it collects in natural depressions and man made ponds on adjacent properties. Surface water appears to be controlled by topography and drainage. Ground water flow in the surficial aquifer system generally mirrors surface topography and would appear to be flowing to the west/southwest in this general area,however surrounding water bodies may have an influence on the ground flow direction (ASGgeosciences 2005). Collier County lies within the southern or Distal Physiographic Zone. The portions of Collier County where the Logan Woods Preserve is located is in the Southwestern Slope. It is between the Gulf of Mexico and the western edges of the Immokalee Rise and the Big Cypress Spur(Liudahl et al. 1990). 2.1.2 Soils According to Liudahl et al. (1990), soils mapped at the Logan Woods Preserve are entirely Pineda Fine Sand, Limestone Substratum (See Figure 5). This hvdric, nearly level, poorly drained soil is typically found in sloughs and drainage ways. Limestone bedrock is located at a depth of about 55 inches. Natural vegetation includes slash pine, cypress, wax myrtle. and grasses. The permeability of this soil type is slow and the available water capacity is iow. Areas underlain with Pineda Fine Sand, Limestone Substratum can be flooded during periods of high rainfall,but typically,the water table is within a depth of 12 inches for 3 to 6 months of the year. The water table can recede to a depth of more than 40 inches during dry times. 2.1.3 Hydrology/Water Management The hydrology of the site has been altered significantly since the mid 1980's when Pine Ridge Road was constructed. The property was cut off from natural water flows with the construction of the surrounding roads(i.e., Sycamore Drive to the north,Logan Blvd.to the east and Pine Conservation Collier Program 15 Packet Page -1185- 5/27/2014 16.D.5. Logan Woods Preserve Land Management Plan 20.13/date Ridge Road to the south). There is a drainage ditch to the south of the property that captures the rainwater runoff from Pine Ridge Road and the property: this water flows west into the South Florida Water Management maintained-1-75 canal. There is also an old minor swale/berm that exists on the western side of the property and runs north and south.Water tends to pool up on the western side of the swale during rainy season. Groundwater levels have gone down during the recent decades due to drainage on a regional scale and water management for development purposes. This trend may he very difficult to control and will continue to reduce the extent of the preserve that floods during the summer months and reduce the period of time the preserve wetlands are flooded during the year.

Logan Woods Preserve Land Management Plan 2013 I'ndate 2.2 Climate The Logan Woods Preserve is located in an area of Florida where humid subtropical and tropical savanna climatic patterns overlap, with temperatures moderated by winds from the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. Sharply delineated wet and dry seasons and average monthly temperatures greater than 64° Fahrenheit characterize a tropical savanna climate. Monthly rainfalls may exceed ten inches during the wet season. On the other hand, humid subtropical climates typically show less extreme rainfall fluctuations between wet and dry seasons and average monthly temperatures is less than 64°Fahrenheit in some months(URS IRC 2006). The average annual temperature for Collier County is approximately 75° Fahrenheit. The warmest months are usually July and August. The humidity is high during these months but frequent afternoon thunderstorms prevent excessively high temperatures. Two-thirds of the annual rainfall occurs in the wet season from May to October. Thunderstorms are frequent during the wet season, occurring every two out of three days between June and September. Rainfall records for the area indicate that there is not significant variation in the annual rainfall throughout much of the county; however, large variations often occur during a single year. The hurricane season extends from June through November with peak activity occurring in September and October when ocean temperatures are highest(URS IRC 2006). 2.3 Natural Plant Communities A plant community refers to the suite of plant species that form the natural vegetation of any place. In addition to anthropogenic influences, the combination of factors such as geology, topography. hydrology, underlying soils and climate determine the types of plants found in an area. These plants,in turn determine the animal species that may be found in an area. The Florida Land Use, Land Cover Classification System (FLUCCS) GIS layer provided by South Florida Water Management District notes only one plant community on the preserve: Upland Hardwood Forests-Melaleuca Infested(FLUCCS code 424;Figure 6). Additionally, the whole site is mapped as having hydric soils (Liudahl et al. 1990). In April 2000, Southern Biomes conducted a site visit and determined that the Logan Woods Preserve consists of approximately 4.4 acres of upland habitat and approximately 1.5 acres of wetland habitat. When Conservation Collier acquired the parcel, approximately 80-90% of the property was infested with melaleuca (Melaleuca quinquinervia). Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) staff visited this site in 2006; they recorded the amount of exotic cover present and noted the location(s) via a Global Positioning System (GPS) device (Figure 7). Subsequently, melaleuca and other invasive,exotic plant species were removed from the preserve in May 2007.

Loran Woods Preserve Land Management Plan 2013 Update 2.3.1 Uplands: Upland Hardwood Forests As mentioned in the previous section, Logan Woods Preserve was primarily dominated by invasive, exotic mgelaleuca trees at the time of acquisition: the native plant community mapped on the preserve is an upland hardwood forest — melaleuca infested. As such, the following section will describe the native species commonly found in this community; section 3.4 and 4.4 of this management plan(Goals for the 10-year period 2008-2018)will discuss methodologies to control/eradicate melaleuca and other problematic,floristic species on the preserve. Upland hardwood forests in south Florida are also known as upland mixed forests, prairie hammocks, xeric hammocks, hydric hammocks (FNAI K FDNR 1990) and mesic temperate hammocks (USFWS 1999). This plant community is often characterized by hardwood species such as live oak (Ouercus virginiana) and cabbage palms (Sabal palmetto) that form a closed canopy. Other trees found in these communities include temperate species such as water oak (Ouercus nigra), laurel oak (0. laurmfolia), hackberry (Celtis laevigata) and red maple (Ater rubrum). The high amounts of shade and leaf litter provided by the canopy keeps the soils relatively moist. Consequently, the mid-stories and groundcovers are species-poor. The frequency of epiphytes is usually higher than other herbaceous plants(USFWS 1999). The closed canopy and abundant hardwood mast provided by this plant community attracts a number of wildlife species seeking food, cover, roosting, and nesting sites. Additionally, these areas are ideal stopover areas for migratory passerines. Since these communities occur on relatively well-drained sites, they are also attractive for human habitation and recreational uses. These anthropogenic uses have increased the number of invasive plant and animal species in these areas and have resulted in degraded hardwood forests throughout the state(USFWS 1999). The Logan Woods Preserve is mapped as an upland hardwood forest — melaleuca infested, however, this is inconsistent with what is currently present on site. Conservation Collier Staff have consistently observed a cypress — pine - cabbage Palm-melaleuca infested community during site visits. Therefore, a description of the latter plant community is provided in the following section. 2.3.2 Uplands:Cypress—Pine—Cabbage Palm As the name suggests, the cypress-pine-cabbage palm community is composed of a mixture of Cypress,Pine and Cabbage Palm Canopy trees—none of which are dominate. This community is often the transition zone between moist upland and hydric sites. As such, some of the flora and fauna associated with moist upland and hydric sites are found in this type of community. In 2003, Conservation Collier Staff noted that the existing native canopy consists of cypress (Taxodium distichum) and slash pine (Pants elliottii mar. densa). Native. midstory species include cabbage palm (Saba] Palmetto), myrsine (Mtn-sine.floridana), willow Galt); sp.), and buckthorn (Bumelia sp.). Native groundcover include swamp fern (Blechman serulatum), giant hatpins (Eriocaulaceae sp.), yellow-eyed grass (Xyris caroliniana), various wetland grasses and fortis. nec ni>3, indigenous plant:: prcviou.;)v invaded the m,-aiorir, of the ;ite. the ttfr,:ai_ T pies dine tv of this community should increase with continued restoratio,,effort;.

Additionally. species that have naturally expanded or changed their ranges to include Florida are considered native. Florida represents a relatively broad geographic range; some species.which may he native to the northern part of the state,may not he native to the southern part and visa versa. Similarly, species exist that are native to coastal areas but not to inland areas and visa versa. Therefore, for the purposes of this management plan, species deemed native are those that are not only indigenous to Florida,but also to Collier County. These species will he discussed in the following sections. 2.4.1 Plant Species T, diac.A1 creation of the preserve, Conservation Collier staff ha identified 60 plant species at the preserve (Appendix 2).

Occurrences of fauna at the preserve are based on direct visual and aural observations by staff during site visits of animals or evidence of activity such as spoor, scat, or burrows, and from the site information available in documents such as • the sites initial criteria screening report: • the property's interim and current management plan: • anecdotal information from persons with knowledge of the site. Mammal species known to occur or individuals andior evidence of activity directly observed within the preserve include: Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana), nine-banded armadillo (Dasvpus noventcinctus);marsh rabbit(Svlvilagus palustris),and raccoon (Procyon lotor). Reptile and amphibian species observed at the preserve include:the brown anole(A nolis sagrei). and the southern black racer (Coluber constrictor priapus). Invertebrates observed include the following butterfly species: the gulf fritillary(Agraulis vanillae), the zebra longwing(Heliconius charitonius).and the cloudless sulphur(Phoebis sennae). Several bird species have been observed by staff to be perching.foraging. or exhibiting nesting behavior at the preserve(Table 3).

FNAI produces a list of rare and endangered species, and maintains a database of occurrences of these species in Florida. The Institute for Regional Conservation (IRC) also ranks native plant species by conservation status in the 10-county area of South Florida. The following subsections (2.5.1 and 2.5.2) discuss the listed, rare and protected plant and animal species found within and close to the Logan Woods Preserve.

Infestation by the introduced Mexican bromeliad weevil (Metamasius callizona) has been implicated in the decline of many epiphytic air plant populations around the state. Currently there are no control measures in place however.close research and monitoring is taking place. §undrt'iin and itan;en (20011 report it in oniy n • .

These element occurrence data are built into biodiversity matrices. Each matrix encompasses one(1)square mile and includes all species and natural communities tracked by FNAI.including all federal listed species. The Logan Woods Preserve site is located within FNAI's Biodiversity Matrix Unit 40541. Appendix 3 provides the official FNAI Managed Area Tracking Record and Element Occurrence Summary as well as the Biodiversity Matrix Report. Global and state rankings are provided for each species as well as their federal and state status. There were no plant species listed as 'likely"to occur on site (rare species likely to occur in this matrix based on suitable habitat and/or known occurrences in the vicinity). None of the plant species reported by FNAI as "potential- listed species have been detected within the Preserve. Six (6) plant species were reported within this Biodiversity Matrix as 'potential- occurrences(site lies within the known or predicted range of species)including the nodding pinweed(Lechea cernua)and the celestial lily(Nemastv°lis floridana). 2.5.2 Listed Animal Species No listed wildlife species have been observed onsite or immediately adjacent to the site. However, within FNAI's Biodiversity Matrix 40541, in which the preserve lies, the wood stork (Meeteria americana) was recorded as 'likely to occur (rare species likely to occur in this matrix based on suitable habitat and/or known occurrences in the vicinity). Eleven (11) species were reported within FNAI's Biodiversity Matrix as potential occurrences (site lies within the known or predicted range of species)however.none of these species have been detected on site. These include the Eastern indigo snake (Drvmarchon couperi), the gopher frog (Rana capito). the gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphennts). the red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis). and the Florida bonneted hat(Eumpos floridanus)(See Appendix 3). 2.6 Invasive Non-native and Problem Species In an ecological context, an invasive species is one that is aggressive in growth and expansion of range and tends dominate others:its establishment and dominance can cause widespread harm to an ecological system by altering the species composition, susceptibility to fire and hydrology of an area. Non-indigenous (a.k.a. non-native species. exotic species) species are those that have been purposefully or accidentally introduced to an area outside their normal range. The Consent Collier Program 27 Packet Page -1197- 5/27/2014 16.0.5. Logan Woods Preserve Land Management Plan 2013 Undate characteristics of some of these species (high rate of growth/reproduction. no natural predators, easily dispersed, able to out-compete native species) make them invasive. While some native species may become invasive, the establishment and dominance of non-native species is of particular concern. The Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council (FLEPPC)maintains a list of exotic plants that have been documented to (1) have adverse effects on Florida's biodiversity and plant communities. (2) cause habitat losses due to infestations and (3) impact endangered species via habitat loss and alteration. Although Florida does not have an official exotic,invasive animal species list,at least 400 exotic fish and wildlife animal species have been reported in Florida, and approximately 125 species are established. While only two invasive,non-indigenous animal species have been documented within the Preserve, other species also have a potential to occur in Logan Woods and will be discussed in section 2.6.2. 2.6.1 Invasive and Problem Plant Species To date. twelve (12) introduced plant species have been found at the Logan Woods Preserve accounting for 23°0 of the plant species recorded there. Eight(9)of the exotic, invasive species are considered Category I species by FLEPPC and two (3) are listed as Category II (Table 6). FLEPPC defines Category 1 plants as those that alter native plant communities by displacing native species. change community structures or ecological functions, or hybridize with natives. Category 1I plants have increased in abundance or frequency but have not yet altered Florida plant communities to the extent shown by Category I species. These definitions do not rely on the economic severity or geographic range of the problem, but on the documented ecological damage caused(FLEPPC 2007). The most problematic exotic,invasive plant species at Logan Woods Preserve was and continuef= melaleuca. Old world climbing fern (LZgodium microphvllum) was also found to be spreading throughout southern portion of the preserve. Other invasive species listed in table 6 too been•ere found throughout the preserve. In May 2007, all exotic, invasive species received initial treatment. The majority of the removal project was funded by the DEP Bureau of Invasive Plant Management. Since then,maintenance continues to ensure that the site remains free of exotics. The details of the project will be summarized in Section 3.4 and 4.4,of this document. Conservation Collier Program 2$ Packet Page-1198- 5/27/2014 16.D.5.

Currently. there are no native plant species at Logan Woods Preserve that represent a management problem. However. close monitoring will be done each year to ensure that cabbage palm trees (Sabal palmetto) and muscadine grape vine (Vats rotundifolial do not start to become problematic. If this occurs, steps will be taken to contain these invasive species such as cutting back or treating vines and reducing the numbers of the cabbage palm seedlings. 2.6.2 Invasive and Problem Animal Species Two(2)non-indigenous,invasive animal species have been documented on the Preserve: the red imported fire ant(Solenopsis invicta) and the brown anole(A nolis sagrei). Based on the natural communities found within the preserve, its proximity to residential areas and its general geographic location, several more species (native and non-native) have the potential to impact the Logan Woods Preserve to varying degrees. Brief descriptions of documented and undocumented but potentially problematic species are provided in the following paragraphs. Red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta): documented within the Logan Woods Preserve These social insects were introduced into the U.S. from Brazil :` . into either Mobile, Alabama or Pensacola.Florida between 1933 and 1945 (Collins &Scheffrahn 2005)and have been detected in 1,+ the Logan Woods Preserve. Red imported fire ants(RIFA)have been documented to cause harm to humans and wildlife as well ;; -- >� as economic harm (Stimac& Alves 1994: Collins & Scheffrahn ,a.. 2005: Willcox & Giuliano. 2006). RIFAs are omnivorous. but they prefer insects as their primary food source (Willcox & Solenopsfs mmcta an invasive non- " Guiliano 2006). RIFAs have a number of impacts on wildlife.

Logan Woods Preserve Land Mana2.emenr Plan 2013 (; date They have eliminated many areas of native ant populations through competition and predation and have eradicated food sources utilized by some wildlife species. Ground-nesting wildlife is especially susceptible to RIFAs. Within the Logan Woods Preserve,RIFAs have the potential to affect ground-nesting birds; small mammals; reptiles such as gopher tortoise, native lizard and snake species. and native invertebrates (Willcox & Giuliano 2006). Additionally. members of the public that come into contact with RIFAs may be harmed if stung. Many people have anaphylactic reactions to the toxins released from RIFA stings. Brown Anoie (Anolis sagrel): documented within the Logan ' \ ~' Woods Preserve Also known as the Cuban anole.the brown anole is native to Cuba. the Bahamas, and neighboring islands (Schwartz & Henderson ,, ,„" 1991). Like other anoles from the islands, this species is a small, 'VI "`*"` tropical, diurnal. arboreal. ten-itorial, and insectivorous lizard I (Campbell 2001). The brown anole was first documented in the Florida Keys in the late 1800s (Lee 1985) and has since spread throughout Florida, into Georgia and into two other southeastern Anolis sacirei, an invasive, exotic states (Campbell 1996).

In residential settings. they are most commonly found on and around homes and buildings, and in gardens and landscape plants. They are known to get into transformer boxes and electrical switches causing power outages (Johnson 2007). Due to the natural communities that are found within the Logan Woods Preserve and its proximity to residential areas.this species has the potential of occurring in the preserve. Giant Marine Toad or Cane Toad(Bufo marinus): undocumented within the Preserve The cane toad is a tropical species native to the Amazon basin in South America, and its range extends through Central America to extreme southern Texas along the Rio Grande River. They are used as a control agent for insects that damage sugarcane and consequently. are one of the most introduced amphibian species in the world. In 1936,an attempt was made to introduce this '""'"" `;. species into Palm Beach County. FL. This attempt to introduce the exotic species failed as did two subsequent a efforts. Ironically. in 1955. an accidental release by an importer at the Miami International Airport in Miami-Dade County, FL proved successful. They have since been deemed i an invasive species in Florida and are currently found in urban o...§ areas of south and central Florida, and are rapidly expanding northward (Brandt&Mazziotti 200 ).

Marine toads are prolific breeders and females can lay tens of thousands of eggs in a single breeding season. They prefer forested areas with semi permanent water nearby(Churchill 2003). Due to the natural communities that are found within the Logan Woods Preserve and its proximity to residential areas,this species has the potential of occurring within the preserve. Adjoining residents of the preserve should be encouraged to keep pet food and water containers indoors or empty at night. Feral domestic cat(Fells catus):undocumented within the Logan Woods Preserve Domestic cats originated from an ancestral wild species.the European and African wildcat(Fells silvestris). Humans facilitated the global distribution of cats due to their highly efficient predatory skills. Egyptians took cats with them on shipping vessels to keep rodent populations down, and they likely introduced domestic cats to Europe. Subsequently the expansion of the Roman Empire and European missionary missions facilitated the spread of domestic cats into Asia and beyond (Masterson 2007). Today, the impact of feral cats on wildlife is difficult to quantify: however, literature (FFWCC 2001: Karim 2007: Masterson 2007) strongly indicates that they are a significant factor in the mortality of small mammals,birds (including migratory birds),reptiles,and amphibians in Florida. Because free-ranging cats often receive food from Conservation Collier Program 31 Packet Page -1201- 5/27/2014 16.D.5. Loran Woods Preserve Land Management Plan 2013 1;5(/00' humans, they may reach abnormally high numbers. An increase in the population of feral cats may lead to increased predation rates on native wildlife. While r_o cats have vet been observed on the Logan Woods Preserve, there exists a high probability of their future presence on the preserve due to the proximity of Logan Woods to human residential areas. Adjoining residents of the preserve should be encouraged to keep their cats indoors and staff should monitor the preserve for the presence of feral cats. 3.0 Previous and Current Use of the Preserve; Adjacent Land Uses 3.1 Previous and Current Use Aerial photography taken in 1940, 1962, 1985, 1994 and recent physical visits to the site show that development has never occurred on the site. These aerial photographs are available in the public records at the Collier County Property Appraisers Office,online from the State University System of Florida website, and at the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Office located in Immokalee. FL. A 1962 aerial is shown in Figure 8 to display what the area looked like prior to major development. A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment was conducted on the site by ASCgeosciences dated August 2005, before the property was purchased by the Conservation Collier Program. This report, available as County public record. both confirmed the above comments and revealed that no evidence of recognized adverse environmental conditions exist on the property. in 2007, prior to initial exotic removal, County staff discovered (15) 5-gallon barrels of used motor oil and other miscellaneous debris on the property,just over the northern property line. The Pollution Control Department was notified and an investigation took place. Since then the barrels were removed, all contaminated soil was removed by County staff and the oil and debris was disposed of properly by the adjacent land owners at their expense. 3.2 Cultural,Historical and Archeological Resource Protection The Logan Woods Preserve is not within an area of historical and archaeological probability,and no historical or archaeological sites appear to be present on the property. The County will notify the Division of Historical Resources immediately if evidence is found to suggest any archaeological or historic resources are discovered. If such resources are identified on-site.staff shall cordon off the area, and a professional survey and assessment shall be instituted. The archaeologist shall prepare a report outlining results of the assessments and issue recommendations to County staff about management of any sites discovered, per provisions of the Land Development Code Section 2.2.25. This report shall be sent to the Division of Historical Resources. The County shall cooperate fully with direction from the Division of Historical Resources on the protection and management of archaeological and historical resources. The management of these resources will comply with the provisions of Chapter 267, Florida Statutes,specifically Sections 267.061 2(a)and(b).

""'l Collier County Roads Figure 9: Areas Contiguous to the Logan Woods Preserve 3.4 Major Accomplishments During Previous Years Since the acquisition of the Logan Woods Preserve in August 2005.key accomplishments have been achieved (Table 7). The program received a grant award from the Department of Environmental Protections (DEP) Bureau of Invasive Plant Management (BIPM) for the removal of the invasive, exotics on the property. Since the melaleuca was so dense.DEP agreed the most efficient way to eradicate the species was by mechanical means. Staff utilized a State approved contractor to mobilize a piece of machinery. called a Brontosaurus. This large,tracked excavator with a long arm attached to a mowing head. mowed the dense stands of melaleuca down to the ground resulting in fine pieces of mulch. In the ecologically sensitive areas that line Logan Woods Blvd. and Pine Ridge Road, an additional contractor was used by the County to remove exotics by hand. Care was taken to preserve as much of the native vegetation as possible. DEP paid a total of$38,000 for the mechanical removal portion and the County paid $9,200 for the hand removal.All of the melaleuca trees were successfully mowed and the mulch was spread out throughout the property (See Figure 3). Herbicide re-treatments have occurred every four months since the initial event to treat any new seedling growth and will continue every six months until all exotic plants are in maintenance condition.

Logan Woods Preserve Land Management Plan 2017 Update to avoid over use of herbicides. Very few exotic seedlings have been growing back;this may be a result of the mulch layer left. however, many native plants have recovered in great numbers such as slash nine.swamp ferns,cabbage palms,and beautyberry. Conservation Collier Staff also coordinated with the USDA TAME Melaleuca Program (The Areawide Management and Evaluation of Melaleuca through the United States Department of Agriculture and the University of Florida Extension Service) to fund the exotic removal on the undeveloped portion of the adjacent private lot. which was also heavily infested with melaleuca (Figure 10). Staff received permission from the neighboring property owner to conduct the project on his property. The project took place simultaneously with the removal on the adjoining Logan Woods Preserve. County staff received bids from County and State approved contractors, obtained agency permits and facilitated the project on behalf of TAME. The contractors removed a portion of melaleuca by mechanical means.killed a portion in place and removed the remainder by hand. Two different herbicide treatment methods were used for public demonstration including cut stump treatment and frill and girdle treatment. Some debris was completely removed from the site, some was mulched and left around the perimeter and the remainder was stacked in log cabin style piles on site for demonstration. A public event was held on August 25, 2007 to educate the neighbors and other members of the public about the need for exotic removal/eradication and about the different methods that can be used.In addition to providing an educational demonstration of melaleuca removal on the adjoining privately owned parcel, the project eliminated the melaleuca seed source from the adjacent property. TAME funded a total of S11.570 and the County paid$275 for the TAME event permits. All of the melaleuca on the private lot were successfully eradicated. One follow-up treatment was conducted by a contractor following the initial treatment at no cost.

Logan Woods Preserve Land Management Plan 2[)!$ L`pdarr In January 2008,a fence was installed along the northern property line. A six-foot high.wooden privacy fence was built along the eastern half of the northern boundary and a field fence was installed along the western half. This privacy fence provided a definite boundary between the preserve and the developed portion of the neighboring property. This will cut down on potential encroachments and dumping,and will provide the preserve guests and the neighbors privacy and security. The field fence was chosen for the western half of the boundary to cut down on cost and to allow wildlife to move under and through the contiguous wooded areas.

Loran Woods Preserve Land Management Plan 2013 t1 dae 4.0 Future Use of the Logan Woods Preserve Including Management Issues, Goals and Objectives This section describes the main management issues. goals. and objectives for Logan Woods Preserve as well as the overall management framework. Central to the management of the preserve is the mission of the Conservation Collier Program, and the goals and objectives set forth in this management plan. 4.1 Management Plan Framework Each property purchased by Conservation Collier shall have its own management plan. At the time the property was purchased, the Conservation Collier Ordinance required that an "Interim" Management Plan be developed within 60 days of closing. Interim plans include basic items such as removal of invasive exotics and trash,establishing site security, developing management partnerships and planning for public access. The interim plan for this site was officially approved in January 2006. The ordinance then requires a "Final" management plan be developed in two years. Subsequently, the property management plan must be updated every five years. Final management plans, however, are considered living documents and can be updated at any time. All management plans are first reviewed by the Lands Evaluation and Management Subcommittee and must be approved by both the CCLAAC and the Board of County Commissioners. 4.1.1 Preserve Manager:Contact Information The Site Manager for Logan Woods Preserve will be a designated Collier County Environmental Specialist who may be contacted through electronic mail: ConservationColliera)Colliergov.net. 4.2 Planned Uses and Assessment of their Impacts Future planned use will be consistent with the primary goals of conservation, preservation. restoration and maintenance of the resource. Official public use of the site will nc. be pus;ibie untilhegan in October 2009. when the :.aie public acces trail.. can be creaiedereated trail yeas opened to the public. _ : , • �� Details of planned uses for the Logan Woods Preserve and an assessment of their potential impacts are provided in the following sections. 4.2.1 Identification of Public Uses Consistent with Preservation, Restoration, and Conservation of the Resources The Conservation Collier Ordinance 2002-63 constrains the use of this property to `primary objectives of managing and preserving natural resource values and providing appropriate natural resource-based recreational 8r, educational opportunities." Natural resource-based recreation shall mean all forms of uses,which are consistent with the goals of this program. and are compatible with the specific parcel. Such uses (as possible on specific preserve landsi may include, but are not limited to: hiking. nature photography, bird watching, kayaking. canoeing, Conservation Collier Program 38 Packet Page -1208- 5/27/2014 16.D.5. Loran Woods Preserve Land Management Plan 2013 L'ndaw swimming,hunting and fishing(Ord.No.02-63,§5, 12-3-02). Additionally,no dumping,use of unauthorized vehicles.or removal or destruction of natural or historical/archaeological resources will he permitted within the preserve. The goal is to allow limited,non-destructive public access to native plant communities and animal species. L arren:l_. the pre,e:' e rules arc those idend'lea ir.

Of the uses listed above,the following are appropriate for this particular site:hiking,picnicking, nature photography.and bird watching. In addition, there are no existing concessions. or leases at the Logan Woods Preserve. The County's Transportation Department owns a Right of Way(ROW)easement on the eastern and southern portions of the preserve totaling 1.80 acres, leaving a total of 5.69 acres for conservation. In accordance with the management goals of the preserve, no additional future easements, concessions. or leases are appropriate in association with this site, other than conservation related easements. 4.3 Desired Future Conditions This section includes a description of the proposed future conditions for the site's natural areas. Management techniques to achieve these conditions are outlined in section 4.4. Conservation Collier staff have noted a significant change in the hydrology of the preserve since its nomination to the program in 2003. Currently, the western and northern areas of Collier County are in a severe drought status, while the rest of Collier County remains in a moderate drought status (NOAA/NWS 2008). While these drought conditions remain, the succession of the plant community is difficult to predict. However, after managers complete recommended management actions,Logan Woods Preserve will likely consist of a Cypress-Pine-Cabbage Palm Community. With the exception of a mulched trail, the site will stay naturally vegetated with appropriate native flora that will provide suitable cover for a variety of wildlife species. :• Cypress- Pine-Cabbage Paint Contntuniq' will be comprised of native canopy species such as: cypress, slash pine, cabbage palm, and bay. Native midstory species will include: myrsine, willow. buckthorn,marlberry. wild coffee, saw palmetto,beautvberry, buttonbush. salt bush (Bacchari.c halimifolial golden polypody and daimon holly. The understory will he comprised of swamp fern, giant hatpins. yellow-eyed grass, fringed yellow-eyed grass (X:vris./imbriata). Southern dewberry (Rubus trivialis), catbriair (Smilax sp.), chain fern. spider-lily, poison ivy. muscadine, Virginia creeper, a wide variety of grasses (Agrostis, Andropoeon. Aristida, Dichanthelium, Eragrostis, and Panicum spp.,etc.), and composites(Aster, Chrvsopsis. Emilia, Eupatorium.Liatris, and Solidago spp.. etc.). A current list of plants identified within the preserve may be found in Appendix 2. Conservation Collier Program 39 Packet Page -1209- 5/27/2014 16.D.5. Logan woods Preserve Land Management Plan 01. Update 4.4 Goals for the 10-year period 2008-2018 A set of goals and objectives for Logan Woods Preserve were developed in conjunction with the drafting of this Management Plan. The goals and objectives in this plan are tailored specifically for Logan Woods Preserve based on the purposes for which the lands were acquired, the condition of the resources present, and the management issues for the property. On-site managers should be familiar with this entire Management Plan. Goals and objectives from the interim management plan for the Logan Woods Preserve were reviewed to determine whether they should be included in this plan. The goals and objectives presented here reflect programmatic goals and ideas of Conservation Collier personnel in charge of managing and protecting the area. These goals shall not be modified, but specific application of management techniques may take into consideration input by user groups and other stakeholders from outside the program, accommodating user needs and desires where practicable and where overarching management goals are not violated. Management issues are discussed below in separate sections.Within each section,approaches for dealing with these issues are described. The ability to implement the specific goals and objectives identified in this plan is dependent upon the availability of funding resources. The following goals have been identified for Logan Woods Preserve: Goal 1:Eliminate or significantly reduce human impacts to indigenous flora and fauna Goal 2: Develop a baseline monitoring program Goal 3: Remove or control populations of invasive,exotic or problematic flora and fauna Goal 4: Restore native vegetation and maintain natural habitats Goal 5:Develop a plan for public use Goal 6:Facilitate uses of the site for educational purposes Goal 7:Provide a plan for security and disaster preparedness GOAL 1: ELIMINATE OR SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE HUMAN IMPACTS TO INDIGENOUS FLORA AND FAUNA In addition to the chain-link fence on the western border of the preserve and the recently installed fence on the northern border of the preserve.the following actions will be performed: Action Item 1.1 Install signs encouraging people to stay on any future public access trails situated on the Logan Woods Preserve. Action Item 1.2 Identify locations of rare and listed native plant species. -fhcrt ',are and listed species will be - : 1' be - • tafi to monitored theinhv staff and chances in populations will be noted in manaeeanent logs.

Logan Woods Preserve Land Management Plan 20731:7)(10w Action Item 1.3 Enforce regulations prohibiting trash or dumping in the preserve. Staff will monitor the trails on a regular basis and if excessive dumping or littering start to occur.enforcement actions will be sought through the Sheriffs Department. Action Item 1.4 Identify actual and potential locations of resident animal life and take steps such as locating visitor amenities away from animal nesting sites. Action Item 1.5 Avoid non-target damage to native plants and animals,especially rare species.during invasive,exotic plant treatments. Licensed County or State contractors will be monitored closely to ensure the proper herbicide applications are being utilized while treating the site. From 200f on, staff will prohibit the use of Imazapyr containing herbicides such as Arsenal on the preserve. This type of herbicide has potentially caused a great deal of non-target damage throughout the state. A invasiveSle n:2.ir;c Cu:down ofrwm:ncc'.. P: rio:to rcmOVO.. Action Item 1.6 Note and research all site development occurring adjacent to Logan Woods Preserve to determine that the proper site development permits have been obtained and that the site development complies with the permits. Future activities on adjacent lands may have an impact on the indigenous plant and animal life on the Logan Woods Preserve. As such. all existing local, state. and federal regulations should be strictly followed and enforced during any site development adjacent to the Preserve. It shall be the responsibility of the developer to establish erosion control measures and vegetation protection measures (i.e., protective fencing or barriers). If any site developer working in areas adjacent to the preserve does not take the necessary control measures. construction shall be immediately halted until control measures are put into place and mitigation and/or remediation will be the sole responsibility of the developer. Staff will work together with the Community Development and Environmental Services Department to achieve compliance if problems arise. GOAL 2: DEVELOP A BASELINE MONITORING PROGRAM Action Item 2.1 Establish a long-term biological monitoring program and conduct additional wildlife surveys. Long-term management of the preserve should be based on biological data. Changes following baseline conditions should he assessed as negative or positive, and management strategies changed appropriately. This section discusses information needs and long-term monitoring needs. A floristic survey was conducted by Conservation Collier staff. This will comprise the baseline floristic data on which future actions will be based. The site should be inspected by Conservation Collier Program 41 Packet Page -1211- 5/27/2014 16.D.5. Logan Woods Preserve Land Management Plan 201.; Iodate Conservation Collier staff at least twice a year and thoroughly inventoried at regular intervals (ca. 5-10 years)to detect new invasions(by natives or exotics).and extinctions. Areas undergoing extreme restoration should be assessed more frequently. While some wildlife data has been collected,additional baseline data should be collected.especially on invertebrates, small mammals,reptiles.and amphibians. The site manager may contract this work out or enlist the assistance of local educators to coordinate student research projects. Wildlife sampling.like plant sampling,should take place at regular intervals(ca.5-10 years)to detect long-term trends. To date, three(3)photo points have been established in and across from the preserve(Figure 11). Locations of photo points have been recorded with a GPS and all photographs taken at these locations have been taken at a standard height and angle of view. One(1)photo point was established within the boundaries of the preserve. During photo documentations of this point.one photo is taken in each of the cardinal directions(north. east, south and west) and a 360-degree panoramic photo is taken. One(1)photo point was established on the eastern side of Logan Blvd across from the preserve. During photo documentations of this point, a 180- degree panoramic photo is taken from south to north. The third photo point is located on the southern side of Pine Ridge Road across from the preserve. During photo documentations of this point,a 180-degree panoramic photo is taken from west to east. These photos will help to monitor exotic removal and native plant recruitment over time If necessary. more photo points will be established to aid in management decision activities.

This native vine, already present in low densities, can become invasive after disturbances - forming dense colonies. killing hardwoods and palms. climbing into canopy species. and persisting for years. Vitis sp. should be controlled by cutting and foliar treat with herbicides if its populations start to take over. Trio hoy not occurred. but will he monitored with notation in the man cement site aetivir, ioe maintained by the sire nutna cer. Action Item 3.2 Acquire services of licensed or qualified contractor(s)for the removal of invasive,exotic or problematic animal species. To date, two (2) introduced animal species have been documented on the Logan Woods Preserve,the Red Imported Fire Ant(RIFA) and the brown anole. It is doubtful that the total eradication of these species can be achieved. However. staff andior contractors should take Conservation Collier Program 44 Packet Page 4214- 5/27/2014 16.0.5. Logan Woods Preserve Land Management Plan 2013 Undatc measures to remove RIFA populations close to or on public access trails. This is being done as needed. With notation in the mananement site activity be maintained by the site manaeer. If feral cat colonies are found near the preserve, the elements that sustain the undesirable population(s) should he identified and efforts made to ask property owners to eliminate them (i.e.,refuse bins,dumpsters,and supplementary feeding by humans). If any feral cats remain, they will be trapped and taken to Collier County Domestic Animal Services. No feral eats have been observed within the preserve. GOAL 4: RESTORE NATIVE VEGETATION AND MAINTAIN NATURAL HABITATS Action Item 4.1 Maintain a revised GIS map and description of FNAI natural communities and disturbed areas on the property. Maintaining updated maps will help to guide restoration efforts_ Action Item 4.2 Plant additional native plant species in their appropriate habitats Periods following exotic removal are essential to the recruitment of native plants. If native plant recruitment is not sufficient from the surrounding, intact seed source, efforts will he made to plant indigenous flora in appropriate habitats. Natural area restoration of Logan Woods Preserve should include only site-specific native plant material that has been determined to be non-problematic at the site and whenever possible, site-specific seed sources should be utilized. Planting should occur in early June of each year at the start of rainy season. Recommended date to start replanting is June of 2009. This will be contracted out or volunteer work days will be held to involve neighbors and scout groups. Grants may be sought to assist in funding depending on cost. No additional niantin<_=s have been deemed n eesSar\'up to lime Of this plan aflame in 2013. GOAL 5:DEVELOP A PLAN FOR PUBLIC USE Action Item 5.1 Develop Access and Required Facilities for Intended Public Uses A parking lot is not planned to be constructed on the site due to the amount of wetlands present, and to the small size of the site. Parking for the site is available along Sycamore Drive to the north of the site and many neighbors may walk or bike to the site. ADA (American with Disabilities Act) access is available around the outside perimeter via the sidewalks along Logan Blvd. and Pine Ridge Road.

Once a trail system is complete, site specific signage will be developed to educate visitors on plant identification and ecosystem information.A specific sign will be made about invasive exotics with before and after photos to show how the site was transformed. This sign may also illustrate the partnerships involved in removing the exotics in this area. Action Item 6.2 Provide preserve brochures in rainproof box on site. An educational brochure outlining the native plant communities present at the preserve will be created by County staff. It will also provide information about invasive exotics. A rainproof box will be installed near the preserve entrance(s). The box will be inspected monthly by the Preserve Manager and refilled as necessary. GOAL 7:PROVIDE A PLAN FOR SECURITY AND DISASTER PREPAREDNESS Action Item 7.1 Discourage visitation to the park at night. A sign designating park hours as dawn to dusk will belied been installed at the entrance= to the preserve off Logan Blvd. and adjacent landowners and homeowner association will hie,_ivenhave been provided an emergency phone number if they detect human activity on the preserve after hours.If problems arise,the Collier County Sheriffs Office will be contacted to patrol the area on a routine basis. • Action Item 7.2 Survey trees along the trail and the perimeter of the property annually for damage Staff will utilize the services of a certified arborist. which could be a staff member. to determine diseased. weak, or damaged trees/limbs surrounding the trails, benches and picnic tables that should be removed for safety reasons and prior to hurricane season. This activity is intended to reduce the risk of visitor injury. There are also some melaleuca trees that were killed in place on the private property adjacent to the preserve. The property owner has granted permission to cut down any of the dead trees that may start to lean towards the preserve or the Vineyards community that could potentially damage either fence. Action Item 7.3 Visit preserve within 48 hours after a storm event to assess damage. Staff will take photos of damage and fill out appropriate Collier County Risk Management Department forms. If damage is extensive, the preserve will be closed until public safety hazards are cleared. Action Item 7.4 Promptly clear storm debris from preserve. If necessary. a Collier County emergency debris removal contractor will be contracted as soon as possible after the storm to schedule clean-up. Removal of debris and damaged or downed trees Conservation Collier Program 48 Packet Page -1218- 5/27/2014 16.0.5. Logan Woods Preserve Land Management Plan 201. !ndarr along the trail system may be needed. Downed trees and limbs that do not appear to be a public safety hazard will be cleared at the discretion of the Preserve Manager. The trees that may have fallen into the road ways or adjacent sidewalks will be the responsibility of the Transportation Department as they own the easement. As much hurricane debris as possible will be chipped and retained on-site—to be used as mulch for the trail. 4.5 Operational Plan for the Logan Woods Preserve This section provides management recommendations for operation of the Logan Woods Preserve. It discusses maintenance and budgeting needs,the possibilities for contracting the restoration activities. coordination.and other management issues. 4.5.1 Maintenance The primary maintenance activities for the preserve will include maintaining the trail. fence and signage and to control dumping and littering within and around the preserve. The mulched portions of the trail will be replenished every few years as the mulch breaks down. The Sheriffs Department Weekend Work Program crews can be utilized to lay mulch and to pick up debris within the preserve and along the two main roadways. The garbage cans on site will also need to be emptied on a weekly or hi-weekly basis,this can be done by Program staff or will be contracted out. 4.5.2 Estimated Annual Costs and Funding Sources Preliminary budget estimates for Logan Woods Preserve include cost breakdowns associated with resource restoration and management. The funding source identified for the restoration and management activities is the Conservation Collier Program Management Trust Fund. Table 9 shows the activities planned for the next ten years and the initial and annual cost estimate of each activity. Private and public organizations may also provide funding for specific projects. Funding already secured and utilized for management activities at Logan Woods Preserve include a gram from the Florida DEP Bureau of Invasive Plant Management (538.000) to conduct the initial exotic removal and/or treatment. Additional grants may be sought to supplement existing management funding to possibly fund trail construction,supplemental planting and signage. Staff will also continue to utilize the Collier County Sheriffs Department Weekend Work program for certain labor projects and may also separately involve the County Scout programs for trail c.r.eiii0ot and enhancement or other related.proiccts. The budget in Table 9 represents the actual and unmet budgetary needs for managing the lands and resources of the preserve. This budget was developed using data from Conservation Collier and other cooperating entities. and is based on actual and estimated costs for land management activities. equipment purchase and maintenance. and for development of fixed capital facilities. The budget below considers available funding and is consistent with the direction necessary to achieve the goals and objectives for Logan Woods Preserve.
