4.2 Site Security
The Gore Preserve provides important wildlife corridor linkages with surrounding conservation
lands, therefore fencing that would impede wildlife movements through the preserve and
throughout the greater area would not be desirable. Due to the remote location of the preserve,
illegal dumping along the roadways is a potential concern. Preserve boundaries will be monitored
to limit illegal dumping and off-road vehicle trespass. All future public access trail planning will
consider opportunities to limit unwanted off-road vehicle trespass.
4.3 Exotic Vegetation Removal and Maintenance Plan
Exotic invasive plants present include Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius), earleaf acacia
(Acacia auriculiformis), ceasar’s weed (Urena lobata), citrus (Citus spp.), air potato (Dioscorea
builbifera), lantana (Lantana camera), old world climbing fern (Lygodium microphyllum),
Japanese climbing fern (Lygodium japonicum), arrowhead (Syngonium podophyllum), and
balsam apple (Momordica charantia).
The initial cost of exotic removal would be substantial due to the amount present and density of
the vegetation. Based on cost estimates provided by a contractor who routinely contracts with the
County for exotic removal, costs for the level of infestation observed would be about $80,000 -
$150,000 to treat exotics with herbicide in place and to mow along the proposed hiking trails. It

Packet Pg. 2901 Attachment: Interim Management Plan_Gore Preserve (14216 : Conservation Collier Dr. Robert H. Gore III MOU)

Interim Management Plan
8
would cost approximately $50,000 to mechanically mow the Brazilian pepper along the roadside
edges of the preserve boundary in selected locations to improve aesthetics and facilitate greater
access for land management activities. Costs for follow-up maintenance done an a bi-annual or
annual would remain similar for 1-4 years until the seed bank has been depleted and the
management units can transition into a maintenance treatment rotation schedule.
Staff may apply for federal and state funding assistance to assist in the costs of invasive, exotic
plant removal in areas of the preserve.
The Conservation Collier Program staff will hire contractors to treat the exotic vegetation on the
site. Staff will seek assistance from the surrounding community for potential volunteers to
supplement contracted exotic maintenance.
4.4 Debris Removal
Staff will monitor the preserve boundaries for signs of illegal dumping and erect educational
signage and work collaboratively with the Collier County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) to address
repeat offenses. Currently, there is no indication of debris removal needs within the preserve
boundary. Staff will utilize volunteers and contractors to address debris removal issues as they
arise.
4.5 Cultural, Historical and Archeological Resource Protection
The Gore Preserve is not within an area of historical and archaeological probability, and no
historical or archaeological sites appear to be present on the property. While conducting pre-
acquisition site visits, staff were made aware of the presence of several “pointer trees” throughout
the property that may have indigenous cultural origins. 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).
4.6 Listed Species Protection
Staff will evaluate needs for protection if any listed wildlife species are found on the property. The
locations where listed species are routinely observed will be identified using a global positioning
system (GPS) device and mapped to allow staff to monitor them. Staff will also utilize passive
monitoring techniques of preserve usage by listed species to document occurrence.
Care will be taken when exotic removal treatment occurs to avoid areas with listed plants and to
avoid non-target damage with herbicides. Wildlife surveys will be carried out ahead of any major
site remediations to determine possible impacts to listed or nesting species.

4.7 Public Access
Given the extent of the current Brazilian pepper infestation within the preserve, public access via
special request will be difficult to grant until the initial phase of hiking trails are in place. A
conceptual hiking trail plan is underway for the preserve and will by established through
development of a Final Management Plan. The American Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements
and safety concerns will need to be met before the site can officially be open to the public. No
public hunting is allowed within the Gore Preserve due to the limited acreage and proximity of
adjacent homesites.
4.8 Site Monitoring and Long-Term Management Plan
Monitoring of the site shall consist of invasive exotic vegetation re-treatment and listed-species
population surveying. While fire dependent communities exist within the preserve, prescribed
fire will be not be utilized as an initial management tool for the preserve due to the proximity of
adjacent homesites and historic fire suppression in the surrounding area that has greatly elevated
fuel levels. Collier County shall be responsible for property maintenance with tasks contracted
out as deemed necessary and management partnerships sought with the surrounding community.
The site will be monitored for exotic vegetation re-growth semi-annually for two years following
initial treatment. After two years, exotic vegetation will be monitored on a yearly basis.
4.9 Partnerships
Staff will seek out partnership opportunities for conservation, protection, education, and funding
opportunities. Staff will explore possible land management funding assistance programs for the
preserve. These may include but are not limited to grants offered by the USFWS South Florida
Coastal Ecosystems Program, USFWS Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program (Conservation
Collier Cooperative Agreement Modification would be required), the U.S. Department of
Agriculture and/or FWC Upland Weed Management Working Group Funding.
Conservation Collier Program staff will continue to build a strong partnership with members of
the non-profit Cypress Cover Conservancy to enhance environmental education program offerings
and awareness of this up and coming resource for the residents and visitors of Collier County.
Staff will also coordinate with the Collier County Scouts BSA and Girl Scouts of the USA for
possible trail enhancement projects.
