  • Upland Invasive Exotic Plant Control Program Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Summary
    Upland Invasive Exotic Plant Control Program Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Summary Over one-and-one-half million acres of Florida’s public conservation land have been invaded by alien (exotic, nonnative, nonindigenous) plants such as melaleuca, Brazilian pepper, cogon grass, and climbing ferns. However, invasive alien plants respect no boundaries and millions of acres of agricultural and private land are also been affected. Florida’s nearly 11 million acres of public conservation land support a nature-based tourism economy valued at $10 billion annually (total tourism spending in 2015 equaled $89 billion). The Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission’s Invasive Plant Management Section (IPMS) is the designated lead entity in Florida responsible for coordinating and funding the statewide control of invasive aquatic and upland plants in public waterways and on public conservation land. The Upland Invasive Exotic Plant Management Program (a subsection of IPMS) was established in 1997 to address the need for a statewide coordinated approach to the terrestrial (vs. aquatic) invasive exotic plant problem. The “Uplands Program” incorporates place-based management concepts, bringing together regionally diverse interests to develop flexible, innovative strategies to address weed management issues at the local level. The program funds individual exotic plant removal projects statewide on public conservation land. Projects are considered for funding based upon recommendations from eleven Regional Invasive Plant Working Groups. The mission of the Uplands Program is to achieve maintenance control of invasive exotic plants like cogon grass (Imperata cylindrica), melaleuca (Melaleuca quinquenervia), Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius), Old World climbing fern (Lygodium microphyllum), and Japanese climbing fern (L. japonicum) on public conservation land.

NORTHWEST REGION CASES FRANKLIN COUNTY Officers M. McLeod, Bell, and Travis were patrolling the Apalachicola Management Area and observed suspicious activity on the Florida River Island after hearing multiple gun shots after dark. They encountered six subjects exiting the area and investigated. During the investigation, one of the subjects admitted to hunting hogs with dogs. While another subject was questioned about fresh blood on his dog box; he admitted to picking up a road killed fox. The subject also admitted to possessing a fox squirrel. The officers also found that another subject was in possession of deer meat without sex evidence. The appropriate citations were issued. Officers M. McLeod and Travis were on patrol on the Apalachicola River and encountered subjects camping on a house boat. After speaking with the subjects, they determined one of their party was actively placing corn on the wildlife management area. They found the subject, who admitted to placing the bait on public land, and cited him accordingly. GULF COUNTY Officers Gerber, Lipford, Basford and Lieutenant Allen were on patrol and saw several vessels near the north end of St. Joseph Peninsula State Park. There were six individuals wading in the shallow water working a large area of seine nets. A resource inspection found three of the nets connected, forming an outer perimeter around a shallow sand bar.
