Agenda 09/14/2021 Item #16D 9 (Restoring fish and wildlife habitat at McIlvane Marsh Preserve)09/14/2021
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to accept a Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program Landowner Agreement
Modification for a $15,000 grant award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Partners for Fish
and Wildlife Program for fish and wildlife habitat restoration at McIlvane Marsh Preserve and
approve all necessary Budget Amendments.
OBJECTIVE: To restore fish and wildlife habitat at McIlvane Marsh Preserve.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Partners for Fish and Wildlife (PFW) Program is a voluntary, incentive-
based federal program that provides direct technical assistance and financial assistance in the form of
landowner agreements to private landowners to restore and conserve fish and wildlife habitat for the
benefit of federal trust resources. The County received a $10,000 grant from the PFW Program on July
14, 2020 (Board Agenda Item #16D14) for the treatment of 53.64 acres within McIlvane Marsh. On
December 8, 2020, (Agenda Item #16D8), the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved the
submittal of a PFW Program application requesting an additional $15,000 for the treatment of another
80.46 acres within McIlvane Marsh. On July 14, 2021, the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
awarded Collier County with the additional funds.
Restoration required under this grant agreement modification includes invasive, exotic plant removal and
management, which is already a required restoration activity under the McIlvane Marsh Interim
Management Plan. The Board Chairman’s signature is not required for the acceptance of this
modification.
FISCAL IMPACT: A Budget Amendment is required to recognize additional grant revenue in the
amount of $15,000 in Fund (709) Public Services Grants, Project 33697. There is no match required for
this amendment. The match requirement was met in the original award.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The project will support Objective 7.3 of the Conservation and
Coastal Management Element, which requires the County to continue to implement programs that
conserve and protect endangered and threatened wildlife species.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved for form and legality and requires a majority vote
for Board action. -JAB
RECOMMENDATION: To accept a Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program Landowner Agreement
modification for a $15,000 grant award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Partners for Fish and
Wildlife Program for fish and wildlife habitat restoration at McIlvane Marsh Preserve and approve all
necessary Budget Amendments.
