Applicant Supplemental Information
Applicant Name: Ron Clark
Representation of Interests: Please explain your relationship with and business interests relating to
the following topics.
• Environmental and Conservation:
I am a retired National Park Service natural and cultural resource manager where for 29 years I
was responsible for conserving, preserving, and conserving the natural, scenic, floral, faunal, and
recreational values of Big Cypress National Preserve, a 729,000-acre piece of the greater
Everglades ecosystem, an outstanding Florida water, and within Florida's Area of Critical State
Concern. As Chief of the Natural Resource Division, I was the staff specialist who managed the
functions of environmental science, environmental coordination, and specific environmental
resource regulatory compliance for the Preserve.
• Agricultural and Business:
I have no relationship or business interests relating to agriculture or business.
• Educational:
Beyond my past association with cooperative universities (FGCU, U of Miami, U of Georgia,
Florida International University, Yale University) for the purpose of conducting research within
Big Cypress National Preserve, I currently have no current relationship with academia.
• General Civic and Citizen:
I continue to review planning documents open for public comment from state and federal
agencies relative to Everglades restoration and recreational use of public lands. I am a past
member of the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service Florida Panther Recovery Team and offer comment
on endangered species conservation plans. I have volunteered on a 6-year project that
concluded in 2019 with the United States Agency for International Development, International
Technical Advisory Program as a senior advisor in Indonesia at Tanjung Puten National Park on
Borneo to assist in orangutan protection and recovery.
Individual Member Expertise, Knowledge, or Interest: Please elaborate on any experience,
knowledge, or interest you have in the following subjects.
• Ecology:
While in my past position with the Big Cypress National Preserve I was responsible for managing
of the natural and cultural resources through an inter-disciplinary team of scientists and experts
in the fields of environmental resource permitting, environmental compliance, wildlife and
vegetation monitoring, disturbed site reclamation, oil and gas exploration and extraction,
hydrology, wildlife management, ecology, restoration, archaeology, ethnography, graphic
information systems, and invasive species management.
• Conservation:
16.K.1.a
Packet Pg. 1319 Attachment: CCLAAC Backup (rev.) 2.22.22 (21274 : Appoint three members to the Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Advisory Committee.)
I have participated on inter-disciplinary teams to develop conservation plans relative to Florida
panther recovery, exotic plant removal, invasive alien wildlife control, sea turtle protection, and
recreational use of public lands both here and in Indonesia.
• Real Estate or Land Acquisition:
I have participated in prioritizing land tracts within the Big Cypress National Preserve boundary
for acquisition through the U.S. Land and Water Conservation Fund, a program to conserve
irreplaceable lands and to protect areas to meet diverse conservation and recreation needs.
• Land Appraisal:
In identifying and prioritizing lands for acquisition within Big Cypress National Preserve, I have
collaborated with the National Park Service Land Acquisition Office in Naples, Florida to assess
land value based upon its environmental attributes, level of previous disturbance, reclamation
or restoration potential, wetland values, invasive vegetation coverage, and public use recreation
potential.
• Land Management:
As a member of the Big Cypress management team, I was involved in all aspects of land use and
management of the 729,000-acre Preserve since beginning in 1989. Before then, I have held
public land use management positions at Prince William Forest Park in Virginia, Qzark National
Scenic Riverways in Missouri, Assateague Island National Seashore in Maryland, Baltimore-
Washington Parkway in Maryland, and temporary assignments in Grand Canyon National Park in
Arizona, Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming/Montana, and Cape Hatteras National Seashore
in North Carolina.
• Eco-Tourism:
Every National Park Service area both with the United States and Borneo I have worked within
provides opportunities for eco-tourism as a part of their visitor experience. The most recent and
relevant experience has been for Big Cypress National Preserve where I participated in preparing
a Commercial Services Plan. Commercial services in this context involves provision of visitor
services such as guided tours (fishing, hiking, boating), airboat and swamp buggy rides, and
canoe rentals. The focus was providing revenue-producing visitor service opportunities to
private companies while striking the balance between commercial use and resource protection.
• Environmental Education:
While environmental education was a function of a division I did not supervise, I did participate
in preparing informational signs to be displayed at boat landings and along access trails to points
of concentrated visitor use within Tanjung Puten National Park in Borneo. I also narrated the
Park's educational film that is shown at that park's visitor centers to inform visitors of the
natural history, threats, and recovery efforts for orangutans.
