EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Final Management Plan for the Logan Woods
Preserve under the Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Program
OBJECTIVE: To obtain approval from the Board of County Commissioners (Board) for the
Final Management Plan (FMP) for the Logan Woods Preserve and for the Board to give
direction to the County Manager, or his designee, for its implementation.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Conservation Collier Ordinance, No. 2002-63, as amended, Section
14(2), requires that a Final Management Plan shall be prepared for each property, with review
and input by the Land Acquisition Advisory Committee. This plan shall identify management
activities as are necessary to preserve, enhance, restore, maintain and monitor the property,
and estimate the costs of the project. Additionally, the Plan shall identify how public use
compatible to the parcel shall be accomplished.
Logan Woods Preserve (f.k.a. the Mcintosh Trust parcel), comprised of 5.69 acres located
along Logan Boulevard and Pine Ridge Road, was purchased by Collier County in 2005. The
Interim Management Plan was approved by the Board in 2006. The Lands Evaluation and
Management Subcommittee of the Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Advisory Committee
(CCLAAC) have reviewed the draft Final Management Plan and on April 24, 2008, a public
meeting was held, inviting all neighbors within 2,000 feet of the Preserve to attend and provide
comments. The final draft was presented to the CCLAAC on June 9, 2008. The CCLAAC
unanimously recommended approval with one suggested change. This change was made with
a minor revision to Figure 12 (Page 42 of the Plan).
FISCAL IMPACT: The costs of land management activities for the first year of implementation
will be $22,245. The cost associated with the construction of the trail and other amenities are
estimated to cost $21,526 in fiscal year 2009-2010. Staff will seek grant funding to assist in
reducing these costs. The annual costs will lessen following initial site development and
replanting to between $500 to $3,404 per year. Funds are budgeted within the Conservation
Collier Land Management Fund to accomplish these activities.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Management of Conservation Collier lands to support
appropriate public access is consistent with and supports Policy 1.1.6 and Objective 1.3 in the
Recreation and Open Space Element of the Collier County Growth Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Conservation Collier Ordinance (No. 2002-63, as
amended), in Section 14, provides a legal framework for development of management plans
and for use of environmentally sensitive lands. The Office of the County Attorney has reviewed
and approved the Final Management Plan for form and legal sufficiency. -JAB
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached Final
Management Plan and directs the County Manager, or his designee, to implement it for the
Logan Woods Preserve.

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.

This is the Final Management Plan for the Logan Woods Preserve and it will be submitted to the
Collier County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) for its approval. When approved, this
plan will replace the Interim Management Plan.
1.1 Conservation Collier: Land Acquisition Program and Management Authority
The Conservation Collier program was originally approved by 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 BCe.
After a property is acquired, The Lands Evaluation and Management Subcommittee review
management plans produced by staff before the entire CCLAAC is able to review the plan. After
approval by the CCLAAC, the management plan goes before the BCC for final approval.
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 Plan
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 comer of the intersection of Pine Ridge Road
and Logan Blvd. It is located one mile east of Interstate-75 in Section 16, Township 49, and
Range 26. It is in an Estates zoned area of the County.

1.6 Public Involvemeut
Neighborhood involvement will be sought through direct mailing notices for public meetings to
residents and businesses within the surrounding area and to owners of properties that border the
preserve. One public meeting was held in the spring of 2008 to review this plan. Staff will seek
volunteers (e.g., neighbors, local Boy and Girl Scout troops and the Logan Woods Homeowners
Association) for projects such as exotic removal, trail creation and replanting projects.
2.0 Natural Resources
2.1 Physiography
Logan Woods Preserve lies within the Floridian section of the Coastal Plain. 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 hydric, 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 low. 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

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-I-75 canal. There is also an old minor swalelberm 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 be 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.

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 640 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 640 Fahrenheit in some months (URS IRC 2006).
The average annual temperature for Collier County is approximately 750 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
Septemher. 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 (Melalellca qllinqllinervia). Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) staff
visited this site in 2006; they recorded the amount of exotic cover prescnt 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.

2.3.1 Uplands: Upland Hardwood Forests
As mentioned in the previous section, Logan Woods Preserve was primarily dominated by
invasive, exotic m3elaleuca 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 JO-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 & FDNR 1990) and mesic temperate
hammocks (USFWS 1999). This plant community is often characterized by hardwood species
such as live oak (Quercus virginiana) and cabbage palms (Sabal palmetto) that form a closed
canopy. Other trees found in these communities include temperate species such as water oak
(Quercus nigra), laurel oak (Q. laurifolia), hackberry (Celtis laevigata) and red maple (Acer
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 arc 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 also found in this type of
community.
In 2003, Conservation Collier Staff noted two, native large canopy species: cypress (Taxodium
distichum) and slash pine (Pinus elliottii val'. densa). Native, midstory species included cabbage
palm (Sabal Palmettu), myrsine (Myrsine jloridana), wiIlow (Salix sp.), and buckthorn (Bumelia
sp.). Native groundcover included swamp fern (Blechnum serulatum), giant hatpins
(Eriocaulaceae sp.), yellow-eyed grass (Xyris caroliniana), various wetland grasses and forbs.
Since non-indigenous plants previously invaded the majority of the site, the floristic species
diversity of this community should increase with continued restoration efforts.

A nearby parcel on the southwest corner of Pine Ridge Road and Logan Blvd was nominated
during Conservation Collier's 5th Acquisition Cycle. Like the Logan Woods Preserve, this parcel
(Folio 38390920008) was mapped as an Upland Hardwood Forest but during site visits to the
property, staff consistently noted a Cypress- Pine-Cabbage P.alm Community. Additionally, a
majority of this parcel (approx. 85%) was mapped as contalmng Pineda Fine Sand, Limestone
Substratum soils while the entire the Logan Woods Preserve was mapped as containing this soil.
Due to the proximity of this parcel to the Logan Woods Preserve, the similar plant community
noted there and the soils found on the parcel - it is appropriate to look at the plant species
identified there to gain some insight on what may be reasonably found/planted on the Logan
Woods Preserve during and after restoration efforts take place. The native canopy species
identified on the parcel on the southwest corner of Pine Ridge Road and Logan Blvd consisted of
a mix of pond and bald cypress (Taxodium ascendens and T distichum), cabbage palm (Sabal
palmetto), slash pine (Pinus elliottii), bay (Persea sp.) and laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia).
Native midstory species included: marlberry (Ardisia escallonioides), myrsine (Myrsine
jloridana), wild coffee (Psycho tria nervosa and P. sulzneri), beautyberry (Callicarpa
americana), buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), saw palmetto (Serenoa repens), golden
polypody (Phlebodium aureurn) and dahoon holly (flex cassine). Native ground cover species
observed were: swamp fern (Blechnum sarulatum), frog-fruit (Phyla nodiflora), pepper vine
(Ampelopsis arboreal, Virginia chain fern (Woodwardia virginica), spider-lily (Hymenocallis
sp.), bracken fern (Pteridiurn aquilinum), poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans), muscadine (Vitis
rotundifolia), smilax (Smilax sp.), and Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia).
2.4 Native Plant and Animal Species
Indigenous or native species are those whose natural ranges included Florida at the time of
European contact (circa 1500 AD). 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 be native to the northern part of the state, may
not be 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 be discussed in the following sections.
2.4.1 Plant Species
To date, Conservation Collier staff has idcntified 53 plant species at the preserve (Appendix 2).
Another plant survey will be conducted in late summer of 2008 and the final list will be added to
this plan. Of these 53 species, 41 (77%) are native to the site and 12 (23%) are exotic. Of the 12
exotic species, 10 are listed by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council.

2.4.2 Animal Species
Little is recorded for actual occurrences of animals at the preserve. 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 site's initial criteria screening report;
. the property's interim management plan;
. anecdotal information from persons with knowledge of the site.
Mammal species known to occur or individuals and/or evidence of activity directly observed
within the preserve include: Virginia opossum (Didelphis virginiana), nine-banded armadillo
(Dasypus novemcinctus), marsh rabbit (Sylvilagus palustris), and raccoon (Procyon lotor).
Reptile and amphibian species observed at the preserve include: the brown anole (Anolis 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).

2.5 Listed Species
Indigenous species that have been recognized to be vulnerable to extinction to varying degrees
are called listed species. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the
Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services produce official lists of rare and
endangered species at the state level; the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and the
National Marine Fisheries Service produce official lists of rare and endangered at the federal
level. FNAI produces a list of rare and endangered species, and maintains a database of
occurrences of these species in Florida. Thc Institute for Regional Conservation (IRC) also
ranks native plant species by conservation status in the IO-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.

The Cardinal Airplant, also known as the Common Wild Pine or Stiff-leaved Wild Pine
(Tillandsia fasciculata), is an epiphytic bromeliad ~
recognized by many common names and is listed as an
endangered plant by the State of Florida. Wunderlin
and Hansen reported this species in 24 counties
throughout Florida as of 2004 (Wunderlin & Hansen
2004). Like most of the other bromeliads in Florida, this
species is often referred to as a "tank" bromeliad
because the leafaxils and central stems form a "tank" or
reservoir at the base of the plant. These reservoirs
capture and hold water, dead and decaying plant matter
(leaves, seeds twigs, etc.), and dead and drowning
non-aquatic insects; these trapped items provide nutrients

The Fuzzywuzzy airplant (Tillandsia pruinosa) is listed as an endangered
plant by the State of Florida. Collier County is the only County within the
state where this species has been confirmed to exist (Wunderlin & Hansen
2004). The epiphyte is less than 6 inches tall and is usually solitary. This air
plant is generally found in isolated habitats.

Even though the three Tillandsia species listed above are fairly common in the State, they are
listed due to illegal collecting and the destruction of the habitats in which they are found.
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.
The Red Stopper (Eugenia rhombea) is listed as an endangered plant by the State of Florida.
Wunderlin and Hansen (2004) report it in only two counties throughout the state: Miami-Dade
and Monroe County. While they do not report this species in Collier County, staff has identified
this species on another parcel nominated during Conservation Collier's 5th Acquisition Cycle
(Folio number 41507480001 - "Blake" parcel).
FNAI maintains a database of occurrences of rare, threatened, and endangered species in Florida.
These element occurrence data are built into biodiversity matrices. Each matrix encompasses
one (I) 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 (Nemastylis jloridana).
2.5.2 Listed Animal Species
No listed wildlife species have been observed on site or immediately adjacent to the site.
However, within FNAI's Biodiversity Matrix 40541, in which the preserve lies, the wood stork
(Mycteria 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 (Drymarchon couperi), the gopher frog (Rana capito),
the gopher tortoise (Gopherus polyphemus), the red-cockaded woodpecker (Picoides borealis),
and the Florida bonneted bat (Eumposjloridanus) (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 lire 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
Conservation Collier Program
23
Agenda Item No. 15E8

LOf!an Woods Preserve Land Manaf!enfl1nl<PMnof 64
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 (I) 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.
2.6.11nvasive and Problem Plant Species
To date, twelve (12) introduced plant species have been found at the Logan Woods Preserve
accounting for 23% of the plant species recorded there. Eight (8) of the exotic, invasive species
are considered Category I species by FLEPPC and two (2) are listed as Category II (Table 6).
FLEPPC defines Category I plants as those that alter native plant communities by displacing
native species, change community structures or ecological functions, or hybridize with natives.
Category II 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 continues
to be melaleuca. Old world climbing fern (Lygodium microphyllum) was also found to be
spreading throughout southern portion of the preserve. Other invasive species listed in table 6
have been 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.

Under certain conditions, cspecially following soil disturbance or drainage, somc native plant
species can becomc invasivc. Currently, thcre arc 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 (Sahal palmetto) and muscadine grape vine (Vi tis
rotundifolia) 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 anolc (Anolis 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): doeumented
within the Logan Woods Preserve
These social insects wcre introduced into the U.S. from Brazil
into either Mobile, Alabama or Pensacola, Florida between 1933
and 1945 (Collins & Scheffrahn 2005) and have bcen detected in
the Logan Woods Preserve. Red imported fire ants (RIF A) have
been documented to cause harm to bumans and wildlife as well
as economic harm (Stimac & Alves 1994; Collins & Scheffrahn
2005; Willcox & Giuliano, 2006). RIFAs are omnivorous, but
they prefer insects as thcir primary food source (Willcox &
Guiliano 2006). RIFAs have a number of impacts on wildlife.
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
RlFAs. 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 RIF A stings.
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,
tropical, diurnal, arboreal, territorial, and insectivorous lizard
(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
states (Campbell 1996). The brown
anole is a habitat generalist and
generally prefers the fairly open areas
of disturbed sites; in Florida; it feeds
on a wide variety of insects, amphipods, and isopods. Brown anoles
also prey on other small vertebrates including the hatchlings of the
native green anole (Ana/is carolinens;;s; Campbell 2000). Campbell
(2000) showed that, in the absence of the exotic brown anoles,
native green anoles occupy perches from ground to the canopy of
vegetation. However, in the presence of the exotic anole, native
anoles move higher in trees, occupying only the trunk and crown of
trees. Dietary overlap is high between both species, but the overall
affects of the brown anole on the green anole are still undetermined.

Cuban tree frog (Osteopilus septentrionalis): undocumented

Like the Cuban anole, the Cuban tree frog is native to Cuba, the
Bahamas, and neighboring islands. The first Cuban tree frogs
probably arrived in the Florida Keys as stowaways in shipping
crates originating from the Caribbean in the 1920's. Today, they
have established breeding populations as far north as Cedar Key on
Florida's Gulf Coast, Jacksonville on the Atlantic Coast, and
Gainesville in north-central Florida. These hylids are the largest
tree frog found in Florida and because of their ability to invade
natural areas and prey on native invertebrates and small vertebrates
(including native tree frogs) they are considered an invasive

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 Protection's (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. Hand pulling will be used
on specific exotic species 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 swamp ferns, cabbage palms, and beautyberry.
Conservation Collier Staff also coordinated with the USDA TAME Melaleuca Program (The
Areawide Management and ~valuation 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 pennission from the neighboring property owner to conduct the
project on his property. The project look place simultaneously with the removal on the adjoining
Logan Woods Preserve. County staffreceived 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
10 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 $11 ,570 and the County paid $275 for lhe 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.

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.

4.0 Future Use ofthe 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: ConservationCollier(aJColliergov.net.
4.2 Planned Uses and Assessment of their Impaets
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 not be possible
until safe public access trails can be created. However, citizens that desire to visit the site prior
to opening, can do so by signing a waiver which will allow them access at their own risk and
releases the liability of the County until safe access is established. 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 & 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 may include, but are not limited to: hiking,
nature photography, bird watching, kayaking, canoeing, swimming, hunting and fishing (Ord.

No. 02-63, g 5, 12-3-02). Additionally, no dumping, use of unauthorized vehicles, or removal or
destruction of natural or historical/archaeological resources will be permitted within the preserve.
The goal is to allow limited, non-destructive public access to native plant communities and
animal species. Currently, the preserve rules are those identified in Collier County Ordinance
76-48 (available from www.municode.com). as amended. An ordinance specifically for
"Preserves" is in the process of being drafted by the County's Parks and Recreation Department
and Conservation Collier; it is expected to be completed and presented to the Board of County
Commissioners for approval late 2008 or early 2009.
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 Palm Community will be comprised of native canopy species
such as: cypress, slash pine, cabbage palm, and bay. Native midstory species will
include: myrsine, willow, buckthorn, marl berry, wild coffee, saw palmetto, beautyberry,
buttonbush, salt bush (Baccharis halimift}lia) golden polypody and dahoon holly. The
understory will be comprised of swamp fern, giant hatpins, yellow-eyed grass, fringed
yellow-eyed grass (Xyrisjimbriata), Southern dewberry (Rubus trivialis), catbriair
(Smilax sp.), chain fern, spider-lily, poison ivy, muscadine, Virginia creeper, a wide
variety of grasses (Agrostis, Andropogon, Aristida, Dichanthelium, Eragrostis, and
Panicum spp., etc.), and composites (Aster, Chrysopsis, Emilia, Eupatorium, Liatris, and
Solidago spp., etc.). A current list of plants identified within the preserve may be found
in Appendix 2.

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 hwnan impacts to indigenous flora and fauna
Goal2: 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 I: 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 aceess
trails situated on the Logan Woods Preserve.
Action Item 1.2 Identify locations of rare and listed native plant spedes.
These species will be located and recorded with a GPS device; they will be mapped to allow
staff to monitor them. Trails will be constructed to avoid areas where rare and listed species
exist.
Action Item 1.3 Enforce regulations prohibiting trash or dumping in the preserve.
Conservation Collier Program
36
Agenda Item No. 16E8
June 24, 2008
LOi!an Woods Prese,,'e Land Manai!enflmlrfYfiirpf 64
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 aetual and potential Joeations of resident animal life and take
steps sueh as loeating visitor amenities away from animal nesting sites.
Action Item 1.5 A void 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 2008 on, staff will prohibit the
use ofImazapyr 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. Also, close
attention will be taken to look for Tillandsia sp. (listed in Table 6) that may be attached to
invasive trees being cut down or removed. Plants of these species should be relocated prior to
removal.
Action Item 1.6 Note and research all site development oeeurring adjaeent to Logan
Woods Preserve to determine that the proper site development permits have been
obtained and that the site development eomplies 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 mcasures (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 be 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 slaff at least twice a year and thoroughly inventoried at regular intervals
(ca. 5-10 ycars) to detect new invasions (by natives or exotics), and cxtinctions. Areas
Conservation Collier Program

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. Appendix 5 shows before
and after photos from these photo points.

GOAL 3: REMOVE OR CONTROL POPULATIONS OF INVASIVE. EXOTIC OR
PROBLEMA TIC FLORA AND FAUNA
Action Item 3.1 Aequire services of Iieensed and qualilied eontraetor(s) for the removal
of invasive, exotic or problematic plant species.
Initial exotic removal was conduced in May 2007 and since then, follow-up treatments have
been occurring every 3 months and were concluded in May 2008. Bi- annual re-treatment
events will then start in October 2008 for two years and willlinally be reduced to once a year
in perpetuity.
The following (Table 8) describes recommended controls of the majority of the Category I,
invasive, exotics by Langeland and Stocker (200 I) as well as staff recommendations. These
recommended control methods may be altered by site managers dependent on new
information and products available on the control of these species. Staff has added to the
table the hand pulling of small seedlings to avoid the overuse of herbicides. Appendix 4
provides a table of the description/biology of these plants from Langeland and Stocker (2001).

A basal stem application of Garlon 4 is recommended although
cut-stem treatments with 50% Garlon 3A or 10% Garlon 4 are
also effective. If bulbils arc present on vines, a basal bark
treatment should be used because it will translocate into the
bulbils. Collect bulbils from the ground and remove from site.
Apply 10% Garlon 4 to stems emerging from tubers. Hand
pulling followed by treatment of re-sprouts has also been
effective. Foliar applications of Garlon 1%-2% 3A has been
effective. Several applications throughout the growing season
may be necessarv.
Control immediately upon sighting. Thoroughly spray foliage
to wet with 1.25% Garlon 4 (4 pt per acre), 0.6% Roundup Pro
(maximum 5 pt/acre), or l.O%-3.0lj'~ Rodeo (maximum 7 pt per
acre). Only Rodeo can be used if plants are growing in aquatic
sites. The poodle cut method may also be used for plants
growing high into trees- cut vines and treat lower portions. Do
not apply when nlants are under environm~ntal stress.
For seedlings and saplings: (1) hand pull, being sure not to
i break plant off of root system and remove or place in piles to
I help reduce the chance that they will re-root or: (2) Treat with
foliar. low volume spot application of 5% Rodeo. For mature
I trees: (I) fell large trees with chain saw leaving a level
surface, or fell small trees with machete and treat with triclopyr
or glyphosate or aquatic Garlon (renovate) products according
I to frill and girdle directions on SLN label. Use aquatic versions
: where standing water is present. Monitor for resprouting and
retreat as necessary. (3) Mature trees arc very difficult to
control with foliar annlications.

treatments or exotic plant removal. 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.
Action Item 3.2 Aequire services of licensed or qualified eontraetor(s) for the removal of
invasive, exotic or problematie animal species.
To date, two (2) introduced animal species have been documented on the Logan Woods
Preserve, the Red Imported Fire Ant (RIF A) and the brown anole. It is doubtful that the total
eradication of these species can be achieved. However, staff and/or contractors should take
measures to remove RIF A populations close to or on public access trails.
If feral cat colonies are found near the preserve, the elements that sustain the undesirable
population( s) should be 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.

GOAL 4: RESTORE NATIVE VEGETATION AND MAINTAIN NATURAL HABITATS
Action Item 4.1 Maintain a revised GIS map and description of FNAI natural
eommunities 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 be
made to plant indigenous !lora 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.
GOAL 5: DEVELOP A PLAN FOR PUBLIC USE
Action Item 5.1 Develop Aecess 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. Additional access features are depicted in
the conceptual level master plan (Figure 12).
A trailhead into the preserve will be created off the sidewalk bordering Logan Blvd. The trail
will be delineated with posts and rope or posts with small hiking signs every 15-20 feet. An
interpretive sign and bike rack will be located just west of the ROW easement off Logan Blvd.
This trail will arch in a southwesterly direction and will connect to the sidewalk north of Pine
Ridge Road. An additional interpretive sign and bike rack will be placed here. One small
mulched trail will branch off to the southeast from the center of the main trail and will lead to
a picnic table. The main proposed trail will be approximately 640 feet long and the mulched
trail will be approximately 200 feet long.
The preserve trail will connect to the sidewalk on Pine Ridge Road via a raised pathway with
a culvert. A Collier County right-of~way permit will be obtained prior to the installation.
This will be built to allow people access over the ditch that runs along the southern border of
the property. This may eventually have to be removed when the County's Transportation
Department utilizes the ROW easement. Staff will then work together to re-connect the final
improvements.

GOAL 6: FACILITATE USES OF THE SITE FOR E1)UCATIONAL PURPOSES
Actions Item 6.1 Develop interpretive sign age to edueate preserve visitors.
Once a trail system is complete, site specilic 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 broehures 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 DISASnl? PREPAREDNESS
Action Item 7.1 Diseourage visitation to the park at night.
A sign designating park hours as dawn to dusk will be installed at the entrances to the preserve and
adjacent landowners will be given 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 certilied arborist to determine diseased, weak, or damaged
trees/limbs surrounding the trails, benches and picnic tables that should be removcd 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
lhe preserve. The property owner has granted permission to cut down any of thc 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 fonns. If damage is extensivc, 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 rcmoval contractor will be contracted as soon as
possible after the storm to schedule clean-up. Rcmoval of debris and damaged or downed trees
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 actlVlltes 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 Sheriff s 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 bi-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 specilic projects.
Funding already secured and utilized for management activities at Logan Woods Preserve include a
grant from the Florida DEP Bureau of Invasive Plant Management ($38,000) 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 creation and
enhancement.
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 obj ectives for Logan Woods Preserve.
