EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to authorize the County Manager, or his designee, to submit a
South Florida Coastal Program grant proposal to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS) for $19,384 (of which $8,400 will be reimbursable) to fund a
native plant restoration project at the Conservation Collier Otter Mound Preserve.
OBJECTIVE: To have the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) authorize the County
Manager, or his designee, to submit a proposal to the USFWS to fund a native planting at the
Otter Mound Preserve.
-
CONSIDERATIONS: The USFWS South Florida Coastal Program provides funding to non-
profit organizations and agencies at all levels of government for technically sound and cost
effective projects that restore or enhance degraded coastal wetlands, uplands, estuaries, and
riparian corridors. Strong preference is given to on-the ground restoration or enhancement of
coastal habitats that Improve habitat for fish and wildlife resources, including federally protected
species, through restoration and enhancement (including the removal of exotic vegetation and
restoration of sites using native plant species); form partnerships with more than one participant;
and leverage additional funding or other in-kind goods and/or services towards the total project
cost. If the grant is received, a formal agreement between the BCC and the USFWS will be
needed before the project can proceed. Once an agreement is finalized, staff will return to the
BCC for formal acceptance of the grant award and execution of the agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT: The total cost of the project is $1 9,384. Collier County is requesting $8,400
in reimbursable USFWS funds for native plants. The County will provide a total of $10,280 cash
match towards invasive, exotic vegetation maintenance and archaeological consulting. The
Southwest Florida Archaeological Society and the Marco Island Historical Society will provide
$704 worth of volunteer in-kind services. If the grant is received, the $10,280 County cash
match is available within the Conservation Collier Management Fund 174 budget.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This proposal supports Objective 7.3 of the Conservation
and Coastal Management Element of the County Growth Management Plan, which requires the
County to continue to implement programs that conserve and protect endangered and
threatened wildlife species.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: Approval of this grant application submittal conforms to the
County's Grant Coordination procedures.
RECOMMENDATION: Recommend that the Board of County Commissioners authorize the
County Manager, or his designee, to submit the attached Otter Mound Native Plant Restoration
grant proposal to the USFWS South Florida Coastal Program.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES: The Otter Mound Preserve Tropical Hardwood Hammock
Restoration Project will involve the planting of 105 native trees, 200 native shrubs, and 250
native groundcovers within 1.46 acres of Otter Mound Preserve. See Attachment l.
PROJECT LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION: Otter Mound Preserve is a 2.46-acre urban
preserve located in a residential area of Marco Island within Section 21, Township 52, Range 26
of Collier County (25054 '40"N; 8l 041 '54"W). See Map 1. The entire preserve site is a Calusa
shell mound (c. 700 A.D.-l200 A.D.) containing a disturbed tropical hardwood hammock upland
plant community. Settled and partially cleared by pioneers in the late l800's. the site was
overrun with invasive, exotic landscape plants at the time of its acquisition by Collier County in
2004. Treatment of invasive, exotic vine and ground cover species - air potato (Dioscorca
bulbifera), coral vine (411/igOll0ll leptopus), balsam apple (Mo/J1ordica charall/ia), wedelia
(Wedelia trilobata), and mother-in-law's tongue (Sallsevicria hyacillthoides) - has been on-going
since September 2005 and will continue through 2009.
If funds are received for this project, approximately 1.46 acres of the preserve that were
previously infested with invasive, exotic vines and groundcovers will be planted with native
plants in the summer of 2009. See Attachment 2. A professional restoration contractor will be
hired to provide and install the plants. Because of the archaeological and historical significance
of the site, dirt that is removed fTom each planting hole will be sifted through screen shakers to
recover any artifacts. A professional archaeologist with the Archaeological and Historical
Conservancy, Inc. and volunteers from the Southwest Florida Archaeological Society (SWF AS)
and the Marco Island Historical Society (MIHS) will identify, bag, and label any significant,
diagnostic artifacts. The initial location of each artifact will be recorded with a GPS. Because
no irrigation exists within the preserve, all plantings will occur within the rainy season and will
be supplemented with irrigation gel quart cartons. Each tree and shrub will be planted with 4 (1-
quart) containers of irrigation gel - consisting of 95% water and 5% cellulose - evenly spaced
against the root ball. The bacteria within the soil will break down the cellulose, thus releasing

water at the plants' roots for at least 30 days, aiding in the plants' establishment. Plants in
containers no larger than 3-gallons in size will be planted. Not only will the smaller size allow
the plants to more readily establish with the lack of irrigation, but it will also allow for less
disturbance ofthe archaeological substrate during installation.
Otter Mound Preserve contains one of the last relatively large sections of remnant tropical
hardwood hammock on Marco Island. Nearly the entire island has been bulldozed, canalled, and
developed. Although Otter Mound Preserve is within 0.15 miles of Rookery Bay National
Estuarine Research Reserve and within 3 miles of the Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife
Refuge, the nearest protected tropical hardwood hammock is approximately 4 miles to the south.
Horr's Island, 0.5 miles southeast of Otter Mound Preserve, contains shell mound features and
tropical hardwood hammock habitat, but like Marco Island, it is also under the threat of
development. By restoring the native vegetation at Otter Mound Preserve, wildlife that relies on
tropical hardwood hammock habitat will benefit.
PROJECT BENEFITS TO COASTAL ECOSYSTEMS: Tropical hardwood hammock
habitat that will be restored through this native planting project will address a long-term
conservation need facing both Collier County and the state of Florida. Because much of the
tropical hardwood hammock habitat in Collier County and Florida has been cleared for
development, this native plant community has been recognized as priority habitat for
preservation within the Collier County Growth Management Plan Conservation and Coastal
Management Element (Policy 6.1.1(4)c.). Additionally, this community has been designated as
imperiled in Florida by the Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI - code S2). Tropical
hardwood hanunocks provide critical habitat for a number of plants whose northernmost portions
of ranges extend into South Florida. These plants may be found in other tropical climates like
the West Indies, but in the United States, they only occur in the tropical hardwood hammocks of
South Florida. Consequently, many are listed as threatened or endangered in Florida.
There are 7 plant species at Otter Mound that are listed by either the Florida Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services or FNAI. Four of the 7 listed species were planted at the
preserve in the summer of 2006 (Table I). More listed plant species will be planted during this
project.

Many species ofNeotropical migratory birds have been observed at Otter Mound Preserve - 5 of
which are listed in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Division of Migratory Bird Management's
December 2002 report "Birds of Conservation Concern". See Attachment 3. Depending upon
availability, trees and shrubs planted during this project will be chosen specifically for their
value to wildlife. As the planted native vegetation matures, more food and habitat will be
available for these, and hopefully, other species ofNeotropical migratory birds as a stopover site.
Tropical hardwood hammocks also provide important habitat for many listed species of wildlife.
Otter Mound Preserve contains a population of Florida tree snails (Liguus fasciatus) - Florida
SSe. Historically, the major causes of Liguus colony mortality have been habitat destruction
and commercial exploitation of their shells; however, pesticide spraying for mosquito control
may also affect their survival (Emmel & Cotter ] 995). By protecting and restoring native
vegetation within the preserve, the Florida tree snail will benefit by both increased habitat and
reduced pesticide effects. Reducing mosquito pesticide applications within the preserve is not a
tangible goal because the preserve is located in a dense residential area. However, an increased
canopy and mid-story cover should reduce some effects of the pesticide by physically blocking
the amount of pesticide entering the preserve via aerial spraying.
Within Otter Mound Preserve, FNAI has no documented occurrence of any other listed wildlife
species. However, the FNAI database report indicates that 20 listed species have the potential to
occur at the preserve based on their known or predicted range. At least 8 of these 20 species
could utilize the restored tropical hammock community at the preserve (Table 2).

The direct anticipated long-ternl and permanent result of this project is the re-creation of a
tropical hardwood hammock. The restoration of the native vegetation in the preserve is
identified in the Otter Mound Preserve Land Management Plan as Action/te", /.3 Restore nativc
vegetation as appropriate and neccsswy: "Monitor native plant recruitment and re-growth in
areas of invasive, exotic removal and/or hurricane damage. Plant appropriate native vegetation
to restore tree canopy coverage to 85% - 95% and understory density to 50% - 75%" (Collier
County 2008). The indirect anticipated long-telm and permanent result of this project is the

increased use of Otter Mound Preserve by wildlife including N eotropical migratory bird species.
CONTRIBUTING PARTNERS: The Marco Island Historical Society (MII-IS) is a non-profit
organization whose volunteer members will assist with sifting dirt and identitying historical
artifacts uncovered during the plantings (2 people X 8 volunteer hours X $17.60 per hour =
$281.60); The Southwest Florida Archaeological Society (SWF AS) is a non-profit organization
whose volunteer members will assist with sifting dirt and identitying archaeological artifacts
uncovered during the plantings (3 people X 8 volunteer hours X $l7.60 per hour = $422.40).
PROJECT COSTS: The entire project is estimated to cost $19,384.

STATEMENT OF PRODUCTS: The two products that will result from this project are:
1. Increased additional tropical hardwood hammock habitat - l.46 acres.
2. Increased use of the entire preserve by native wildlife species.
Although random bird surveys during migration periods will be possible, a quantitative,
regimented pre- and post- study of wildlife use at the preserve will not be possible due to a lack
of staff and trained volunteers. Therefore, a survey of canopy, understory, and groundcover
approximate density, along with photo point pictures, will be used to gauge the success of the

ACTIONS TO DATE (IF ANY): In 2005 large amounts of Brazilian pepper were removed
from the entire preserve at a cost to Collier County of $24,000. Since then, Collier County has
spent an additional $32,000 maintaining the Brazilian pepper and slowly getting the other vine
and groundcover exotics to acceptable levels within the preserve. In the sunlmer of 2006, a
planting project similar to this proposed project was implemented on a 0.7-acre western section
of the preserve where large amounts of Brazilian pepper had been removed. The cost of the
plants and irrigation gcl was $4,373, and funds from the USFWS Partners for Fish and Wildlife
Program ($3,500) were also used to maintain the exotics within this area before and after the
planting. See Map 4.
The 2006 planting project was successful - with an approximate 95% survival rate. A schedule
of one planting in June (for trees and shrubs) and one planting in July (for groundcovers) was
used in conjunction with irrigation supplement gel for the trees and shrubs. In June, volunteers
from MII-IS, SWFAS, the Native Plant Society, the Calusa Garden Club, and the Boy Scouts
helped plant and sift for artifacls. Due to high temperatures and the number of plants, these
volunteers found it difficult to efficiently perform the scheduled planting. Consequently, in July,
the Collier County Sheriffs Weekender Crew (community service citizcns who have committed
misdemeanor crimes) was used to plant and sift, while the volunteers were used to search for
artifacts. This method was much more effective. Due to neighbor complaints about the Sheriffs
weekender crew working so closely to adjacent homes, this free labor source is no longer
available at Otter Mound Preserve. Because volunteers are reluctant to do large amounts of
physical labor in the heat of the summer and the Sheriffs weekender crew can no longer assist,
plant installation has been included with the cost of this proposed planting project.
