The entire site is within North Golden Gate Estates, a target protection area. Three different roads, one of which is paved, can access the site and from these roads half of the property can be viewed. The mature cypress and seasonally changing marsh enhance the aesthetic setting o f C ollier County. U sing aerial photographs, elevation data, soil maps and public input, a total of 115 parcels (158.67 acres) were identified as being important for acquisition. With the acquisition of the Ocean Investment Management parcel, Conservation Collier will own 61.91 a cres or 3 9% of t he identified project ar ea. One i mportant r eason f or t he nomination of Winchester Head is that this area functions to provide floodplain storage for surrounding home sites during high rainy season. In fact, these types of depressional storage areas were included in the water management models for the Golden Gate canal system done by the Big Cypress Basin, South Florida Water Management District and are a component of flood control for the area. O ther criteria that would be satisfied by a purchase h ere i nclude protection of surface and ground water resources, protection of wetland de pendent s pecies ha bitat, good pot ential f or r estoration a nd 1 ow a stimated management costs. Listed plant species were observed, while a 1 isted wildlife species (Florida bl ack be ar) ha s be en doc umented a t the a dges of t he pr operty. D uring a November 2009 site visit, it was noted that there was standing water within Winchester Head, that many birds are using the area, and that the wetland areas (except those directly adjoining roadways) appear to be nearly free of invasive exotic plant life, indicating good ecological value. Projected Management Activities: Active management of this project is not feasible until a significant contiguous area can be acquired. Since Winchester Head is relatively free of exotic plants, minimal control efforts consisting of herbicide applications on a xotics at the edges of owned properties may be done until a larger area is acquired. Because of the wetland nature of the site, trails a re not r ecommended. A r aised boa rdwalk w ould be t he b est publ is a ccess opportunity, how ever, t his i s not proposed unt it some t ime w ell into the future of t he project when more parcels are acquired. Nature photography and bird watching are two activities that can occur at present. After consideration of risks and liability, it may be possible t o a llow s chool c hildren t o vi sit s pecific pa rcels a s pa rt of an e ducational program about wetlands. C urrently, the two roads ( 37th and 39 th Streets N E) pr ovide access but t he onl y pa rking i s t he r oad r ight -of -way. U ntil t here a re a nough pa rcels acquired to provide a resource destination, a visitor parking area is not necessary. A parking area could be constructed in the future, however, only wetland parcels have been identified for acquisition and these are likely not appropriate as parking area sites. Land Development Code changes have been made to allow construction of a parking area on parcels in Estates zoning. In the future, an educational kiosk could be placed along one of the roads through the project. It would contain information on w etlands and on t he preservation of the area. S igns can be placed at boundaries along 37th and 39th St. NE. Minimal m anagement activities, I ike t rash r emoval c an be accomplished us ing bot h contracted and volunteer labor. 2 i CCLAAC January 11, 2010 Applications - First Review ja*u"t*y 11, 2010 -Conservation Collier: Cycle 8 Applications Rqellda item Wa.
