Agenda 10/25/2022 Item #16D 1 (To authorize Staff to submit an application to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission Invasive Plant Management Section to be eligible to receive funding assistance services)10/25/2022
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to authorize Staff to submit an application to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission’s Invasive Plant Management Section to be eligible to receive funding assistance services, worth
$100,000 in FY 2023, for the removal of invasive exotic vegetation within Conservation Collier’s Dr. Robert
H. Gore III and Red Maple Swamp Preserves, and to authorize staff to accept such funding assistance
services, if awarded.
OBJECTIVE: To authorize Staff to submit an application to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission’s Invasive Plant Management Section to be eligible to receive funding assistance services, worth
$100,000 in FY 2023, for the removal of invasive exotic vegetation within Conservation Collier’s Dr. Robert H.
Gore III and Red Maple Swamp Preserves, and to authorize Staff to accept such funding assistance services, if
awarded.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Invasive Plant Management Section (IPMS) of the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Commission (FWC) provides funding assistance for invasive plant removal projects on public conservation lands
throughout the State. The County must submit an application to FWC in order to receive this assistance. If funding
assistance is received, IMPS will pay State contractors to treat invasive, exotic plants within Dr. Robert H. Gore III
Preserve ($50,000), and Red Maple Swamp Preserve ($50,000) during FY 2023 - work worth a total of $100,000.
No funds will be transferred to Collier County. Approval of this item authorizes Staf f to submit the application to
FWC for funding assistance services and accept such services if awarded.
FISCAL IMPACT: If funding assistance is awarded, it will save the Conservation Collier Program approximately
$100,000, which is required for exotic plant treatment within the Dr. Robert H. Gore III and Red Maple Swamp
Preserves. The County has pledged of an additional $40,000 for exotic plant treatment, funding for this is budgeted
within Conservation Collier Maintenance Fund (174).
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This proposal supports Goal 6 of the Conservation and Coastal
Management Element of the County Growth Management Plan which is to identify, protect, conserve, and
appropriately use native vegetative communities and wildlife habitats.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires a majority vote for
approval. -SAA
RECOMMENDATION: To authorize Staff to submit an application to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission’s Invasive Plant Management Section to be eligible to receive funding assistance services, worth
$100,000 in FY 2023, for the removal of invasive exotic vegetation within Conservation Collier’s Dr. Robert H.
Gore III and Red Maple Swamp Preserves, and to authorize Staff to accept such funding assistance services, if
awarded.

Maintenance
Current Fiscal Year Area Maintenance Plan
The unit will receive annual or biannual follow-up treatment of all acquired parcels. Staff will carry out in-house spot
treatments of grass species and air potato 3 months after initial treatment and every 6 months until controlled.
Restoration Plan for Native Plants
The site will be re-vegetated by existing on-site native species and the seed bank. Limited replanting of natives may
take place to increase diversity of areas around public use amenities to be funded by Collier County
Funding and Labor Source for Follow-up Treatments
The Collier County Conservation Collier Program will maintain the site in perpetuity using the funding sources available
through the preserves management fund. Follow-up treatments will use both contract work and in-house spot
treatments.
Specifications
STANDARD Work Specifications
Contractor shall begin treatment where directed by the Site Manager and shall proceed in a systematic manner across
contiguous areas to ensure 100% of target vegetation is treated. Contractor will treat each target species by the most
effective method, such as basal bark or cut stump for trees and shrubs, and foliar for ferns, vines, and grasses. Small
seedlings/saplings may be hand-pulled and bagged, or hung on branches of surrounding trees. Pulled seedlings/saplings
should never be left on the ground. Climbing ferns and vines over six feet tall should be treated by the “poodlecut”
method. When girdling trees that are to be left standing, unless directed otherwise in writing, the girdling cuts may not
be done in such a manner that structurally weakens the tree. Contractor shall follow all label directions for applied
herbicides. The label is the law. All herbicide mixes should contain the adjuvant(s) necessary to ensure an effective
treatment. A marker dye should be included in all tank mixes. Contractor shall be liable for unacceptable non-target
damage to native plant species. Disposal of plant material will be in accordance with the SOW, which may include offsite
dumping and tipping fees. Contractor shall supply all transportation, chemicals, labor, and equipment necessary to
accomplish the work assigned, unless otherwise stated in the SOW (e.g., chemicals may be provided to Contractor).
Contractor shall fully complete a Weekly Progress Report (WPR) for all time worked on site and shall submit the WPR to
the Site Manager (or designee) via TIERS. GPS tracks of each treatment area shall be recorded by Contractor and
provided to the Site Manager and the Commission weekly. Contractor will be responsible for security of work areas, such
as closing and locking gates during and after work hours. Contractor shall decontaminate all equipment before entering
or leaving the project area to ensure that no propagules or reproductive materials are transported between treatment
sites or managed areas. If the project specifications include 2 treatments of grasses, the second treatment may not be
conducted until the expected regrowth is at least 1.5 feet high, or in shorter-length grass species, until the expected
regrowth is at least 60% of the total expected leaf blade length.
Equipment Considerations
Unit can be accessed via paved road on 40th Ave SE, 38th Ave SE, and 36th Ave SE. A one mile access trail provides UTV
access to the treatment area north of 40th Ave SE. No water exists on site other than Faka Union Canal. Care must be
taken for crews to stay within the boundary of the project area. Any damage to site structures during treatment should
be reported to the preserve manager.
Other Requirements and Provisions
No secure storage for equipment exists on site. Closest water source is the Faka Union Canal. Please contact Molly
DuVall to schedule meets 239-252-2960.
Threatened, etc. Species

Specifications
STANDARD Work Specifications
Contractor shall begin treatment where directed by the Site Manager and shall proceed in a systematic manner across
contiguous areas to ensure 100% of target vegetation is treated. Contractor will treat each target species by the most
effective method, such as basal bark or cut stump for trees and shrubs, and foliar for ferns, vines, and grasses. Small
seedlings/saplings may be hand-pulled and bagged, or hung on branches of surrounding trees. Pulled seedlings/saplings
should never be left on the ground. Climbing ferns and vines over six feet tall should be treated by the “poodlecut”
method. When girdling trees that are to be left standing, unless directed otherwise in writing, the girdling cuts may not
be done in such a manner that structurally weakens the tree. Contractor shall follow all label directions for applied
herbicides. The label is the law. All herbicide mixes should contain the adjuvant(s) necessary to ensure an effective
treatment. A marker dye should be included in all tank mixes. Contractor shall be liable for unacceptable non-target
damage to native plant species. Disposal of plant material will be in accordance with the SOW, which may include offsite
dumping and tipping fees. Contractor shall supply all transportation, chemicals, labor, and equipment necessary to
accomplish the work assigned, unless otherwise stated in the SOW (e.g., chemicals may be provided to Contractor).
Contractor shall fully complete a Weekly Progress Report (WPR) for all time worked on site and shall submit the WPR to
the Site Manager (or designee) via TIERS. GPS tracks of each treatment area shall be recorded by Contractor and

Maintenance
Current Fiscal Year Area Maintenance Plan
Units labeled as maintenance have been treated on an annual basis for the past several years. The most recent
treatment was in spring 2022. These units are currently in maintenance condition for the following species: Brazilian
pepper, climbing fern, Peruvian primrose willow, paragrass, and creeping signal grass. These units will continue to be
treated annually. If funding is secured for an initial treatment, both the north and south initial treatment units will be
added to the annual maintenance treatment rotation for the above species plus arrowhead vine, cogon grass, and guinea
grass. If funding is not secured, a smaller portion of the initial initial treatment units will be treated and entered into
the annual maintenance treatment rotation. Remaining parcels will be included in the annual rotation as they are
acquired. Eventually the entire preserve will be treated once annually with additional grass and Lygodium spot
treatments as necessary.
Restoration Plan for Native Plants
Site will be re-vegetated by existing on-site native species. Maintenance units have been recolonized by saltbush, pop
ash, dogwood, swamp fern, and various vines. The same is expected for the initial treatment units.
Funding and Labor Source for Follow-up Treatments
Maintenance on Conservation Collier Preserves is paid for using the interest generated by our management trust fund. In
theory, this funding source should last in perpetuity. The interest provides enough funding for annual maintenance
treatments across all preserves but not enough for large initial treatments. Invasive plant treatments will be contracted.
Specifications
STANDARD Work Specifications
Contractor shall begin treatment where directed by the Site Manager and shall proceed in a systematic manner across
contiguous areas to ensure 100% of target vegetation is treated. Contractor will treat each target species by the most
effective method, such as basal bark or cut stump for trees and shrubs, and foliar for ferns, vines, and grasses. Small
seedlings/saplings may be hand-pulled and bagged, or hung on branches of surrounding trees. Pulled seedlings/saplings
should never be left on the ground. Climbing ferns and vines over six feet tall should be treated by the “poodlecut”
method. When girdling trees that are to be left standing, unless directed otherwise in writing, the girdling cuts may not
be done in such a manner that structurally weakens the tree. Contractor shall follow all label directions for applied
herbicides. The label is the law. All herbicide mixes should contain the adjuvant(s) necessary to ensure an effective
treatment. A marker dye should be included in all tank mixes. Contractor shall be liable for unacceptable non-target
damage to native plant species. Disposal of plant material will be in accordance with the SOW, which may include offsite
dumping and tipping fees. Contractor shall supply all transportation, chemicals, labor, and equipment necessary to
accomplish the work assigned, unless otherwise stated in the SOW (e.g., chemicals may be provided to Contractor).
Contractor shall fully complete a Weekly Progress Report (WPR) for all time worked on site and shall submit the WPR to
the Site Manager (or designee) via TIERS. GPS tracks of each treatment area shall be recorded by Contractor and
provided to the Site Manager and the Commission weekly. Contractor will be responsible for security of work areas, such
as closing and locking gates during and after work hours. Contractor shall decontaminate all equipment before entering
or leaving the project area to ensure that no propagules or reproductive materials are transported between treatment
sites or managed areas. If the project specifications include 2 treatments of grasses, the second treatment may not be
conducted until the expected regrowth is at least 1.5 feet high, or in shorter-length grass species, until the expected
regrowth is at least 60% of the total expected leaf blade length.
Equipment Considerations
Vehicles may access the preserve via the Shady Hollow Blvd W (northern boundary), 9th St NW (Eastern boundary), 41st
Ave NE (bisects preserve along east/west axis), or Kinross Ln (Southern boundary, accessed via the Twin Eagle
subdivision, prior permission required). No vehicle trails exist besides the above roads.
Other Requirements and Provisions
Water may be drafted from the canal along 9th ST NW seasonally. There is no storage available for equipment and
materials.
Threatened, etc. Species
Wild coco (Elophia alta), royal fern (Osmunda regalis), several Tillandsia species, butterfly orchid (Encyclia tampensis),
Florida panther, little blue heron, and wood stork.

herbicides. The label is the law. All herbicide mixes should contain the adjuvant(s) necessary to ensure an effective
treatment. A marker dye should be included in all tank mixes. Contractor shall be liable for unacceptable non-target
damage to native plant species. Disposal of plant material will be in accordance with the SOW, which may include offsite
dumping and tipping fees. Contractor shall supply all transportation, chemicals, labor, and equipment necessary to
accomplish the work assigned, unless otherwise stated in the SOW (e.g., chemicals may be provided to Contractor).
Contractor shall fully complete a Weekly Progress Report (WPR) for all time worked on site and shall submit the WPR to
the Site Manager (or designee) via TIERS. GPS tracks of each treatment area shall be recorded by Contractor and
provided to the Site Manager and the Commission weekly. Contractor will be responsible for security of work areas, such
as closing and locking gates during and after work hours. Contractor shall decontaminate all equipment before entering
or leaving the project area to ensure that no propagules or reproductive materials are transported between treatment
sites or managed areas. If the project specifications include 2 treatments of grasses, the second treatment may not be
conducted until the expected regrowth is at least 1.5 feet high, or in shorter-length grass species, until the expected
regrowth is at least 60% of the total expected leaf blade length.
Equipment Considerations
Vehicles may access the preserve via the Shady Hollow Blvd W (northern boundary), 9th St NW (Eastern boundary), 41st
Ave NE (bisects preserve along east/west axis), or Kinross Ln (Southern boundary, accessed via the Twin Eagle
subdivision, prior permission required). No vehicle trails exist besides the above roads.
Other Requirements and Provisions
Water may be drafted from the canal along 9th ST NW seasonally. There is no storage available for equipment and
materials.
Threatened, etc. Species
Wild coco (Elophia alta), royal fern (Osmunda regalis), several Tillandsia species, butterfly orchid (Encyclia tampensis),
Florida panther, little blue heron, and wood stork.

The most recenttreatment was in spring 2022. These units are currently in maintenance condition for the following species: Brazilianpepper, climbing fern, Peruvian primrose willow, paragrass, and creeping signal grass. These units will continue to betreated annually. If funding is secured for an initial treatment, both the north and south initial treatment units will beadded to the annual maintenance treatment rotation for the above species plus arrowhead vine, cogon grass, and guineagrass. If funding is not secured, a smaller portion of the initial initial treatment units will be treated and entered intothe annual maintenance treatment rotation. Remaining parcels will be included in the annual rotation as they areacquired. Eventually the entire preserve will be treated once annually with additional grass and Lygodium spottreatments as necessary.Restoration Plan for Native PlantsSite will be re-vegetated by existing on-site native species. Maintenance units have been recolonized by saltbush, popash, dogwood, swamp fern, and various vines. The same is expected for the initial treatment units.Funding and Labor Source for Follow-up TreatmentsMaintenance on Conservation Collier Preserves is paid for using the interest generated by our management trust fund. Intheory, this funding source should last in perpetuity. The interest provides enough funding for annual maintenancetreatments across all preserves but not enough for large initial treatments. Invasive plant treatments will be contracted.SpecificationsSTANDARD Work SpecificationsContractor shall begin treatment where directed by the Site Manager and shall proceed in a systematic manner acrosscontiguous areas to ensure 100% of target vegetation is treated. Contractor will treat each target species by the mosteffective method, such as basal bark or cut stump for trees and shrubs, and foliar for ferns, vines, and grasses. Smallseedlings/saplings may be hand-pulled and bagged, or hung on branches of surrounding trees. Pulled seedlings/saplingsshould never be left on the ground. Climbing ferns and vines over six feet tall should be treated by the “poodlecut”method.
