Agenda 04/25/2023 Item #16D 4 (For removal of invasive exotic vegetation within Conservation Collier's North Belle Meade, Winchester Head and Red Maple Swamp Preserves)04/25/2023
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
$280,000 in FY 2024, for the removal of invasive exotic vegetation within Conservation Collier’s North Belle
Meade (aka HHH Ranch parcels), Winchester Head, 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
$280,000 in FY 2024, for the removal of invasive exotic vegetation within Conservation Collier’s North Belle
Meade, Winchester Head, 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 the recently acquired
HHH Ranch parcels with proposed name North Belle Meade Preserve ($200,000), Winchester Head Preserve
($30,000), and Red Maple Swamp Preserve ($50,000) during FY 2024 - work worth a total of $280,000. No funds
will be transferred to Collier County. Approval of this item authorizes Staff 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
$280,000, which is required for exotic plant treatment within the North Belle Meade, Winchester Head, and Red
Maple Swamp Preserves. The County has pledged an additional $110,000 for exotic plant treatment, which is
included in the FY24 proposed budget for 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
$280,000 in FY 2024, for the removal of invasive exotic vegetation within Conservation Collier’s North Belle
Meade, Winchester Head, and Red Maple Swamp Preserves, and to authorize Staff to accept such funding
assistance services, if awarded.

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
Site and access to site contains sugar sand. 4x4 vehicles are recommended.
Other Requirements and Provisions
Site is behind locked gate used by multiple property owners in the area. Care must be taken to lock gate after entering

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

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
2 limerock roads transect the entire preserve area from east to west on the north boundary line and in the middle. No
other vehicle trails exist. Site is very wet June - February. Does not start drying out till about March.
Other Requirements and Provisions
There is no water source on site.
Threatened, etc. Species
Wild coco (Elophia alta), royal fern (Osmunda regalis), white ibis (Eudocimus albus), several tillandsia species, butterfly
