Introduction The Conservation Collier Program (Program) is an environmentally sensitive land acquisition and management program approved by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Board) in 2002 and by Collier County Voters in 2002 and 2006. The Program was active in acquisition between 2003 and 2011, under the terms of the referendum. Between 2011 and 2016, the Program was in management mode. In 2017, the Collier County Board reauthorized Conservation Collier to seek additional lands (2/14/17, Agenda Item 11B). On November 3, 2020, the Collier County electors approved the Conservation Collier Re-establishment referendum with a 76.5% majority. This Initial Criteria Screening Report (ICSR) has been prepared for the Conservation Collier Program to meet requirements specified in the Conservation Collier Implementation Ordinance, 2002-63, as amended, and for purposes of the Conservation Collier Program. The sole purpose of this report is to provide objective data to demonstrate how properties meet the criteria defined by the ordinance. The following sections characterize the property location, elaborate on the initial and secondary screening criteria scoring, and describe potential funding sources, appropriate use, site improvements, and estimated management costs.

NO Criteria 2: CLIP Priority 2 Natural Community Does the property contain Pine Flatwoods or Coastal Wetlands? YES Mangroves Criteria 3: Other Native, Natural Communities Does the property contain other native, natural communities? N/A Criteria 4: Human Social Values Does the property offer cultural values, appropriate access for natural resource-based recreation, and the enhancement of the aesthetic setting of Collier County? YES The property offers the enhancement of the aesthetic setting of Collier County for a natural wetland buffer, >25ac of no development and is visible from a paved public road. Criteria 5: Water Resources Does the property offer opportunities for protection of water resource values, including aquifer recharge, water quality enhancement, protection of wetland dependent species habitat, wildfire risk reduction, storm surge protection, and flood control? YES Yes, contains wetlands and holds water, even if very little, during the wet season. Criteria 6: Biological and Ecological Value Does the property offer significant biological values, including biodiversity and listed species habitat? NO The parcel provides little to wildlife habitat due to its limited tidal change. The area is in high salinity and stagnation of water allows for little biodiversity. Removal of exotic vegetation would provide foraging habitat for listed wading bird species.

NO Parcel is adjacent to small conservation easements to the north and south, but they are state/federal owned and developed on. Connectivity is at a minimum/none, due to also the road to the east blocking and the airport to the west. Criteria 8: Target Area Is the property within a Board-approved target protection mailing area? NO The Everglades Outpost parcel met 3 out of the 8 Initial Screening Criteria. Page 903 of 1848 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 83490600008, 83490720001, 83491160000, 83491440005, 83491840003 Owner Names: Everglades Outpost Date: September 2025 11 3. Initial Screening Criteria 3.1 Ecological Values 3.1.1 Vegetative Communities All parcels contain mangrove swamp except for the northwest portion of parcel 83491440005, dominated by black mangrove (Avicennia germinans), with some white mangrove (Laguncularia racemosa) and buttonwood (Conocarpus erectus). Exotic plant density appears to be 25% on all parcels. Brazilian pepper is found along the roads through the parcels with Brazilian pepper, Java Plum, and some Australian Pine scattered throughout the mangrove swamp. Old world climbing fern is expected in the mangroves of both parcels. No listed plant species were observed; however, it is highly probable that multiple Tillandsia species exist within both parcels.

It is highly probable that white-crowned pigeon (Patagioenas leucocephala) utilizes these parcels, as the species has been documented in the area and a potential observation was made during the site visit Page 908 of 1848 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 83490600008, 83490720001, 83491160000, 83491440005, 83491840003 Owner Names: Everglades Outpost Date: September 2025 16 Figure 9 - Wildlife Spatial Data (i.e., telemetry, roosts, etc) Page 909 of 1848 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 83490600008, 83490720001, 83491160000, 83491440005, 83491840003 Owner Names: Everglades Outpost Date: September 2025 17 Figure 10 - CLIP4 Potential Habitat Richness Page 910 of 1848 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 83490600008, 83490720001, 83491160000, 83491440005, 83491840003 Owner Names: Everglades Outpost Date: September 2025 18 3.1.3 Water Resources While neither parcel is mapped to contribute significantly to the aquifer, parcels contain wetland vegetation communities and hold some throughout the year. The parcels also provide protection from storm surge. Although neither parcel is adjacent to a designated Outstanding Water Body, both are within approximately 1,500 feet of Outstanding Florida Waters. Soils data is based on the Soil Survey of Collier County Area, Florida (USDA/NRCS, 1990). All parcels contain hydric soils. Mapped soils show that “Durbin and Wulfert Mucks, Frequently Flooded” - a very poorly drained soil found in tidal mangrove swamps – comprises 100% of the Conservation Collier hatched boundary.

Due to this, bringing the LiDAR into GIS is in Meters, not Feet. Conservation Collier did not have time to process a conversion of the data. Here is the range in feet in the above ‘Figure 13’ 2018_B18_e1472n0424 – (8.14 FT to -3.54 FT) 2018_B18_e1473n0424 – (9.61 FT to -3.74 FT) Page 914 of 1848 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 83490600008, 83490720001, 83491160000, 83491440005, 83491840003 Owner Names: Everglades Outpost Date: September 2025 22 3.1.4 Ecosystem Connectivity The parcels are adjacent to Everglades National Park but the southernmost portion of the adjacent parcel within the park is developed land. With Copeland Ave S to the east and the airport to the west, there are some barriers of connectivity to Big Cypress National Preserve and Green Heart of the Everglades but it is within crossing territory.

A few stands of Australian pine also exist within the parcels. Brazilian Pepper lines the edges of the roadways as a seed source deeper into the mangrove swamp. 3.3.1.2 Prescribed Fire These parcels contain wetlands that would not be part of a prescribed fire burn rotation. 3.3.2 Remediation and Site Security No site security issues appear to exist within the parcel. 3.3.3 Assistance Assistance from other agencies or organizations is not anticipated. 3.4 Vulnerability 3.4.1 Zoning and Land Use These parcels are zoned ‘Residential Tourist’ with an overlay of ‘Under Regulatory Agencies Which Supersede The City’s Jurisdiction’ Page 916 of 1848 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 83490600008, 83490720001, 83491160000, 83491440005, 83491840003 Owner Names: Everglades Outpost Date: September 2025 24 Figure 15 – Zoning Page 917 of 1848 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 83490600008, 83490720001, 83491160000, 83491440005, 83491840003 Owner Names: Everglades Outpost Date: September 2025 25 Figure 16 – Future Land Use Page 918 of 1848 Initial Criteria Screening Report Folio Numbers: 83490600008, 83490720001, 83491160000, 83491440005, 83491840003 Owner Names: Everglades Outpost Date: September 2025 26 3.4.2 Development Plans The hatched Conservation Collier portion of 33.5 acres is not planned for development by the program. 4.

CLIP4 is a collection of spatial data that identify statewide priorities for a broad range of natural resources in Florida. It was developed through a collaborative effort between the Florida Areas Natural Inventory (FNAI), the University of Florida GeoPlan Center and Center for Landscape Conservation Planning, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). It is used in the Florida Forever Program to evaluate properties for acquisition. CLIP4 is organized into a set of core natural resource data layers which are representative of 5 resource categories: biodiversity, landscapes, surface water, groundwater and marine. The first 3 categories have also been combined into the Aggregated layer, which identifies 5 priority levels for natural resource conservation. Below is a description of each of the three CLIP4 data layers used in this report. Figure 4 - CLIP4 Priority Natural Communities Consists of 12 priority natural community types: upland glades, pine rocklands, seepage slopes, scrub, sandhill, sandhill upland lakes, rockland hammock, coastal uplands, imperiled coastal lakes, dry prairie, upland pine, pine flatwoods, upland hardwood forest, or coastal wetlands. These natural communities are prioritized by a combination of their heritage global status rank (G-rank) and landscape context, based on the Land Use Intensity Index (subset of CLIP Landscape Integrity Index) and FNAI Potential Natural Areas. Priority 1 includes G1-G3 communities with Very High or High landscape context. Priority 2 includes G1-G3 Medium and G4 Very High/High. Priority 3 includes G4 Medium and G5 Very High/High. Priority 5 is G5 Medium. This data layer was created by FNAI originally to inform the Florida Forever environmental land acquisition program. The natural communities were mapped primarily based on the FNAI/FWC Cooperative Land Cover (CLC) data layer, which is a compilation of best-available land cover data for the entire state. The CLC is based on both remote-sensed (from aerial photography, primarily from water management district FLUCCS data) and ground-truthed (from field surveys on many conservation lands) data. Figure 10. Potential Habitat Richness CLIP4 Map This CLIP version 4.0 data layer is unchanged from CLIP v3.0. FWC Potential Habitat Richness. Because SHCAs do not address species richness, FWC also developed the potential habitat richness layer to identify areas of overlapping vertebrate species habitat. FWC created a statewide potential habitat model for each species included in their analysis. In some cases, only a portion of the potential habitat was ultimately designated as SHCA for each species. The Potential Habitat Richness layer includes the entire potential habitat model for each species and provides a count of the number of species habitat models occurring at each location. The highest number of focal species co-occurring at any location in the model is 13.

The highest priorities indicate high potential for recharge to springs or public water supplies. This figure also includes Wellfield Protection Zones. Collier County Wellfield Protection Zones are referenced in the Land Development Code and updated in 2010 by Pollution Control and Prevention Department Staff. The public water supply wellfields, identified in section 3.06.06 and permitted by the SFWMD for potable water to withdraw a minimum of 100,000 average gallons per day (GPD), are identified as protected wellfields, around which specific land use and activity (regulated development) shall be regulated under this section.

Introduction The Conservation Collier Program (Program) is an environmentally sensitive land acquisition and management program approved by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners (Board) in 2002 and by Collier County Voters in 2002 and 2006. The Program was active in acquisition between 2003 and 2011, under the terms of the referendum. Between 2011 and 2016, the Program was in management mode. In 2017, the Collier County Board re-authorized Conservation Collier to seek additional lands (2/14/17, Agenda Item 11B). On November 3, 2020, the Collier County electors approved the Conservation Collier Re-establishment referendum with a 76.5% majority. This Initial Criteria Screening Report (ICSR) has been prepared for the Conservation Collier Program to meet requirements specified in the Conservation Collier Implementation Ordinance, 2002-63, as amended, and for purposes of the Conservation Collier Program. The sole purpose of this report is to provide objective data to demonstrate how properties meet the criteria defined by the ordinance. The following sections characterize the property location, elaborate on the initial and secondary screening criteria scoring, and describe potential funding sources, appropriate use, site improvements, and estimated management costs. This Initial Criteria Screening Report evaluates the entire Robert H. Gore III Preserve Target Protection Mailing Area (TPMA). The current TPMA includes a total of 78 parcels (179.6 acres). Parcels within the Robert H. Gore III Preserve TPMA, which is outside the multi-parcel project area, must be evaluated by the Conservation Collier Land Acquisition Advisory Committee (CCLAAC) and placed on the recommended Conservation Collier Active Acquisition List for Board consideration.

Initial Screening Criteria 3.1 Ecological Values 3.1.1 Vegetative Communities Characterization of Plant Communities present: Native plant communities that make up the TPMA parcels as indicated through the Cooperative Land Cover Classification System and ground and aerial observations include: Cypress, Cypress- Mixed Hardwoods, Mixed Wetland Hardwoods, Mixed Scrub-Shrub Wetland, Pine Flatwood. Ground Cover: Ground cover species observed bidens (Bidens alba), winged sumac (Rhus copallinum L.), morning-glory (Ipomoea sagittata Poir), sweet acacia (Vachellia farnesiana) and various epiphytic ferns Midstory: Midstory species included beautyberry (Callicarpa americana), marlberry (Ardesia escallonioides), wild coffee (Psychotria nervosa and P. sulzneri), myrsine (Myrsine floridana), Carolina willow (Salix caroliniana), pond apple (Annona glabra), and buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis). Canopy: The canopy for most of the parcels consists of, in order of abundance, a mix of cypress (Taxodium distichum) cabbage palm (Sabal palmetto), red maple (Acer rubrum), bay (Persea sp.), and slash pine (Pinus elliottii). Laurel oak (Quercus laurifolia) were also observed in various areas. In depressional areas, pop ash (Fraxinus caroliniana) was observed. As a result of historic efforts to develop the Golden Gate Estates and habitat alterations that reduced the hydroperiod, some parcels within the TPMA have transitioned to pine flatwoods with upland vegetation in the understory. In general, the condition of the on-site native plant communities varied from moderate to poor as a result of the consistent infestation level throughout each community type by invasive, exotic plant species. The native plant communities found throughout the TPMA, while heavily impacted by exotics, feature mature native trees and a diverse midstory and understory where native plant species occur. Because of this persistence of a rich diversity of native plant species throughout the impacted communities found within the preserve, restoration forecasts are optimistic following intensive efforts to kill and remove the exotic plant species dominating the landscape.

Surface water pooling and storage throughout the wet season are observed in the depressional cypress sloughs, roadside swales, and seasonal ponds that make up the wetlands throughout the TPMA. Changes to the regional hydrology through the installation of roadways, swales, and the Faka-Union canal have facilitated a significant infestation of the native plant communities by exotic, invasive plant species. As a result of these hydrologic manipulations, areas noted on the map as freshwater forested wetlands have been observed to remain dry throughout the wet season. Wetland dependent wildlife species such as wood stork, little blue heron, and roseate spoonbill have been observed utilizing the seasonally flooded wetlands throughout the TPMA. Soils data is based on the Soil Survey of Collier County Area, Florida (USDA/NRCS, 1990). Mapped soils on this parcel show the TPMA is comprised of mainly non-hydric soils. Hallandale Fine Sand, nearly level, poorly drained soils associated with flatwoods, are mapped within 59% of the TPMA. Boca, Riviera, Limestone Substratum and Copeland Fine Sand, Depressional soils, hydric, very poorly drained soils found in depressions, swamps, and marshes, are mapped within 35% of the TPMA. Hallandale and Boca Fine Sand, hydric, very poorly drained soils found in depressions, swamps, and marshes, are mapped within 6% of the TPMA.

The TPMA parcels are located within 1 mile of the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge, Picayune Strand State Forest and Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve, as well as the low-density development of the Northern Golden Gate Estates residential area. A wildlife crossing exists beneath I-75 which provides connectivity between the Gore TPMA and Picayune Strand State Forest.

Gore III Preserve. The Dr. Robert H. Gore III Preserve currently provides 1.5 miles of hiking trails with conceptual plans for expansion in the coming years dependent on acquisitions. Overall, it is important to note that adding onto the preserve will provide additional acreage that will not be developed and in turn will be available for wildlife utilization. The addition of trails and site improvements to these parcels will be evaluated and reviewed. Potential public use opportunities for the parcels within the TPMA include: Hiking: Some of the parcels could be incorporated into the preserve trail system. Nature Photography: These properties provide opportunities for nature photography. Birdwatching: Parcels will provide opportunities for birdwatching and are included in an annual Christmas Bird Count Route. Kayaking/Canoeing: The parcels do not provide opportunities for kayaking or canoeing. However, the preserve as a whole may have such opportunities in the future along the canal as budgeting and permitting consideration allow. Hunting: Hunting opportunities will be assessed with each management plan update to the preserve. The limited acreage and existing private inholdings indicate that hunting would not be a compatible land use at this time. Fishing: Acquisition of TPMA parcels may provide opportunities for fishing in the future along the canal as budgeting and permitting consideration allow. Environmental Education: Programs and special events could be held within the existing Gore Nature Center parcel, if acquired. 3.2.2 Accessibility Additional passive recreational hiking trails may be considered for incorporation on the parcels within the Gore TPMA. Parcels within the TPMA are accessible via Desoto Blvd, 36th Ave SE, and 34th Ave SE. The Cypress Cove Conservancy parcel has been developed for public natural resource based educational opportunities containing walking trails, a main building, an education center, a small gazebo, a chickee hut, and a gravel parking lot.

Figure 17 – Dr. Robert H. Gore III Preserve Hiking Trail Page 956 of 1848 Initial Criteria Screening Report- Gore TPMA Folio Number: 41618920007 & 41618960009 Owner Names: Castillo Date: September 3, 2025 (Original Report Date: August 3, 2022) 3.2 Restoration and Management 3.3.1 Vegetation Management 3.3.1.1 Invasive Vegetation Approximately 50-65% of the plant communities within the TPMA parcels are infested with invasive vegetation – primarily Brazilian pepper. Other species of concern include lantana, mission grass, cogon grass, and Boston fern. 3.3.1.2 Prescribed Fire The TPMA parcels contain fire dependent communities that have experienced decades of fire suppression and hydrologic changes that have resulted in a significant dry down of wetland habitats. The TPMA parcels and surrounding areas have significant wildfire risk and would be unlikely candidates for maintenance through controlled burning until significant fuel reduction took place within the parcels and surrounding private lands. 3.3.2 Remediation and Site Security Parcels within the Gore TPMA experience occasional ATV trespass issues and some illegal dumping in the road right of ways. Consideration must be made to preventing ATV trespass if incorporating public use opportunities onto acquisition parcels. 3.3.3 Assistance The FWC Invasive Plant Management Section (IPMS) has provided funding assistance for exotic vegetation removal within the Gore Preserve in the past. Opportunities exist for additional funding assistance to offset initial exotic removal costs. 3.4 Vulnerability 3.4.1 Zoning and Land Use The parcels are Zoned as Estates. Estates zoning provides lands for low density residential development in a semi-rural to rural environment, with limited agricultural activities. Allowable density is 1 unit per 2.25 acres, or 1 unit per lot if under 2.25 acres. In addition to low density residential density with limited agricultural activities, the E district is also designed to accommodate as Conditional Uses, Development that provides services for and is compatible with the low density residential, semi-rural and rural character of the E district.

Acquisition Considerations Staff would like to bring the following items to the attention of the Advisory Committee during the review of this property. The following does not affect the scoring. The following are items that will be addressed in the Executive Summary to the Board of County Commissioners if this property moves forward for ranking. Trash and dumping concerns will be reviewed and highlighted on a parcel-by-parcel basis as applications are received. A telephone pole and some large plastic piping was observed on the Rivera parcel. There is potential for an I-75 Interchange in the area of the Gore TPMA, and a roadway expansion and stormwater ponds may be needed in the near future. If these properties are approved for the A-List, staff will take this information into consideration when planning amenities and public access on the site. Additionally, when applicable, language will be memorialized in the Purchase Agreements and related closing documents to ensure Collier County Transportation will be able to purchase a portion of the properties from Conservation Collier for future right-of-way, if and when needed, at the original per-acre acquisition cost. 5. Management Needs and Costs Table 6 - Estimated Costs of Site Remediation, Improvements, and Management Management Element Initial Cost Annual Recurring Cost Comments Invasive Vegetation Removal $89,800 $44,900 Acquired lands within the Gore TPMA would be treated on an annual basis and acreage incorporated into the existing preserve maintenance to reduce acreage cost. Initial estimated $500/acre cost will be higher for newly acquired parcels and should reduce over time with continued maintenance to an estimated $250/acre Trail Construction and Signage $5,000 $100 If public access trails are incorporated into acquisition parcels TOTAL $93,950 $44,600 Page 960 of 1848 Initial Criteria Screening Report- Gore TPMA Folio Number: 41618920007 & 41618960009 Owner Names: Castillo Date: September 3, 2025 (Original Report Date: August 3, 2022) 6. Potential for Matching Funds The primary partnering agencies for conservation acquisitions, and those identified in the ordinance are the Florida Communities Trust (FCT) and The Florida Forever Program. The following highlights potential for partnering funds, as communicated by agency staff. Florida Communities Trust - Parks and Open Space Florida Forever grant program: The FCT Parks and Open Space Florida Forever grant program provides grant funds to local governments and nonprofit organizations to acquire conservation lands, urban open spaces, parks and greenways. Application for this program is typically made for pre-acquired sites up to two years from the time of acquisition. The Parks and Open Space Florida Forever grant program assists the Department of Environmental Protection in helping communities meet the challenges of growth, supporting viable community development and protecting natural resources and open space. The program receives 21 percent Florida Forever appropriation. Florida Forever Program: Staff has been advised that the Florida Forever Program is concentrating on funding parcels already included on its ranked priority list. This parcel is not inside a Florida Forever priority project boundary. Additionally, the Conservation Collier Program has not been successful in partnering with the Florida Forever Program due to conflicting acquisition policies and issues regarding joint title between the programs.

CLIP4 is a collection of spatial data that identify statewide priorities for a broad range of natural resources in Florida. It was developed through a collaborative effort between the Florida Areas Natural Inventory (FNAI), the University of Florida GeoPlan Center and Center for Landscape Conservation Planning, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). It is used in the Florida Forever Program to evaluate properties for acquisition. CLIP4 is organized into a set of core natural resource data layers which are representative of 5 resource categories: biodiversity, landscapes, surface water, groundwater and marine. The first 3 categories have also been combined into the Aggregated layer, which identifies 5 priority levels for natural resource conservation. Below is a description of each of the three CLIP4 data layers used in this report. Figure 5 - CLIP4 Priority Natural Communities Consists of 12 priority natural community types: upland glades, pine rocklands, seepage slopes, scrub, sandhill, sandhill upland lakes, rockland hammock, coastal uplands, imperiled coastal lakes, dry prairie, upland pine, pine flatwoods, upland hardwood forest, or coastal wetlands. These natural communities are prioritized by a combination of their heritage global status rank (G-rank) and landscape context, based on the Land Use Intensity Index (subset of CLIP Landscape Integrity Index) and FNAI Potential Natural Areas. Priority 1 includes G1-G3 communities with Very High or High landscape context. Priority 2 includes G1-G3 Medium and G4 Very High/High. Priority 3 includes G4 Medium and G5 Very High/High. Priority 5 is G5 Medium. This data layer was created by FNAI originally to inform the Florida Forever environmental land acquisition program. The natural communities were mapped primarily based on the FNAI/FWC Cooperative Land Cover (CLC) data layer, which is a compilation of best-available land cover data for the entire state. The CLC is based on both remote-sensed (from aerial photography, primarily from water management district FLUCCS data) and ground-truthed (from field surveys on many conservation lands) data. Figure 12 - Potential Habitat Richness CLIP4 Map This CLIP version 4.0 data layer is unchanged from CLIP v3.0. FWC Potential Habitat Richness. Because SHCAs do not address species richness, FWC also developed the potential habitat richness layer to identify areas of overlapping vertebrate species habitat. FWC created a statewide potential habitat model for each species included in their analysis. In some cases, only a portion of the potential habitat was ultimately designated as SHCA for each species. The Potential Habitat Richness layer includes the entire potential habitat model for each species and provides a count of the number of species habitat models occurring at each location. The highest number of focal species co-occurring at any location in the model is 13.

The highest priorities indicate high potential for recharge to springs or public water supplies. This figure also includes Wellfield Protection Zones.
