MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR JACKSON RIVERFRONT PINES NATURAL AREA

June 2015

Prepared by:

Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resources Management 2300 North Jog Road, 4th Floor West Palm Beach, 33411- 2743 THE PALM BEACH COUNTY NATURAL AREAS SYSTEM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

The Palm Beach County Natural Areas System is comprised of those environmentally sensitive lands that are owned or leased by the County and managed as natural areas by the County's Department of Environmental Resources Management. These natural areas were selected on the basis of their biological characteristics and were acquired to preserve the rare and diverse native ecosystems present on these sites and the endangered, threatened, and rare of and that live there.

Purpose and Goals of the Natural Areas System

• The purpose of the Natural Areas System is to protect historic native ecosystems and their biological diversity throughout Palm Beach County. Examples of each ecosystem shall be acquired and managed to preserve in perpetuity the full complement of plants and animals characteristic of that ecosystem. The management of each natural area shall be coordinated with that of the other natural areas in the system to support existing populations and to reflect in perpetuity the subtropical biological diversity characteristic of Palm Beach County in pre-development times.

• The wilderness values of each natural area shall be preserved.

• Where a natural area currently is physically or biologically connected to another publicly- or privately-owned natural area, attempts shall be made to maintain that connection through additional land acquisitions, regulatory preserve set-asides, conservation easements, interlocal agreements, and other appropriate actions.

Management Considerations

• The natural areas in the system shall be available to the public for passive, resource­ based recreation, environmental education, and scientific research. Public use shall not take precedence over ecosystem protection. Proposed public uses shall take into account the specific environmental conditions of each natural area, and may be modified in response to changing environmental conditions.

• Facilities for passive public use shall be provided on each site. These facilities shall be designed to have a minimal impact on native ecosystems and shall be located in previously disturbed areas as much as possible.

• Facilities, structures, or roads other than management or access roads that would cause fragmentation of a natural area shall not be permitted within a natural area.

Information regarding regarding Information many many ERM ERM 2. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES

2.1 PURPOSE OF ACQUISITION

The primary purpose of acquisition of the natural area was to preserve the site's ecological resources. The acquisition, preservation and perpetual management of this site has and will continue to help protect moderate-quality examples of mangrove swamp, mesic hammock and scrubby flatwoods natural communities, their component plant and animal species, and the quality and quantity of local groundwater resources. Acquisition of this site will provide the general public with opportunities for recreational activities, environmental education, and scientific research which are consistent with the primary objectives. It will also help Palm Beach County comply with portions of its comprehensive plan. All portions of the natural area are important to preserving ecological resource values of the site. Because every portion of the site provides habitat for at least one rare or endangered plant species, animal species, or natural community, there are no portions of the property that can be declared as surplus.

2.2 MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES

The natural area contains moderate-quality mangrove swamp, mesic hammock and scrubby flatwoods natural communities (Figure 3). These communities, which can be considered as moderate-quality within the context of urbanized southeastern Florida, are in a somewhat degraded condition as a result of past residential uses, fire exclusion and suppression, nonnative plant invasions and other human-caused disturbances. The primary goal of site management is to preserve and, where appropriate, enhance the mangrove swamp, mesic hammock and scrubby flatwoods natural communities, together with their component species, as described in Section 3.3. Maintaining and improving the ecological quality of these communities is the primary management objective for this site. Management efforts to date have included restoration plantings within the mesic hammock and scrubby flatwoods natural communities, and the implementation of an invasive/nonnative plant control program.

Habitats for listed species will be managed for the needs of individual species when such management is compatible with the overall management of the ecosystems within the natural area. In addition, the restoration, enhancement and management of disturbed areas will be conducted to enhance the overall biological diversity of the site and/or meets specific needs of listed. species.

The site is managed under the "single-use" concept, which means that it is managed to preserve and restore/enhance the existing natural resource values. Scientific research, environmental education and public outdoor recreational uses are encouraged as secondary management objectives as long as they do not jeopardize the protection of natural resources. Passive, resource-based outdoor recreational uses, such as nature appreciation and study, hiking and photography are allowed throughout the site. Additional recreational uses such as canoeing/kayaking (via an unimproved canoe/kayak launch area/tie up) and fishing are permitted

Palm Palm the the 4. MANAGEMENT AND RESTORATION ACTIVITIES

Long-term resource management and restoration of the site began with baseline inventories and assessments of natural communities and listed species described in Chapter 3 of this plan. Plant community, and plant and animal surveys were conducted by ERM staff from 2009-2014. The information collected during these surveys was used as the basis for determining the management activities necessary to protect, restore, enhance and maintain the natural resources of the site, and for determining the locations and types of public use facilities for passive recreation that will be installed on the site.

4.1 MANAGEMENT UNITS

The entire site will be treated as a single management unit due to its small size.

4.2 MAINTENANCE

4.2.1 Removal of Debris and Litter

Most of the debris located within the natural area was removed prior to acquisition. Any visible debris that remained within the site following its acquisition was removed by county staff. If additional debris becomes visible after a management/restoration activity, it will be removed in a timely manner, unless such removal would cause undesirable damage to natural communities or listed species. The installation and maintenance of perimeter fencing and management access gates has and will help prevent the dumping of trash and hazardous materials on the site. Periodic site cleanups to remove litter and maintain the restoration areas will be conducted, as necessary, by county staff with the assistance of volunteers.

4.2.2 Trail Maintenance

Periodic trail maintenance will be performed by county staff and community volunteers.

4.2.3 Facilities Maintenance

County staff will be responsible for the maintenance of the bench, unimproved canoe/kayak launch area/tie up, kiosk, signs, fences, gates and parking area.

4.3 RESTORATION AND ENHANCEMENT ACTIVITIES

The site has been and will continue to be managed in a manner that preserves, restores and enhances the natural resource values. The restoration and enhancement of the natural communities within the natural area has begun. Restoration activities conducted to date include the implementation of a mechanical vegetation reduction program on an as-needed basis (see Section 4.3.1), the implementation of an invasive/nonnative plant control program throughout the

The County has sole responsibility for security, development, restoration, management and maintenance of the natural area. All of these activities will be accomplished by existing county personnel, with assistance from county contractors, site stewards and community volunteers.

6.1 ESTIMATED INITIAL CAPITAL COSTS

Initial capital projects, including initial security, demolition of the house, garage, pool and dock, site development, restoration and wildfire mitigation activities, are expected to cost $175,525 (Table 3). Work has already begun on some of the aforementioned projects/activities - installation of fencing and gates, installation of regulatory signs, demolition of the house, garage, pool and dock, initial invasive/nonnative vegetation removal/control activities and an initial mechanical fuel reduction treatment. Additional capital projects proposed for the site include the construction of a parallel parking area, unimproved canoe/kayak launch area/tie up, natural­ surfaced hiking trail, kiosk and bench, and environmental restoration of the former house pad (see Sections 4.3.4 and 5.1). All of the proposed capital projects/activities are subject to, and contingent upon, annual budgetary funding and appropriations by the BCC.

6.2 ESTIMATED ANNUAL MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION COSTS

Management and maintenance costs are expected to average $38,843 per year over the next ten years (Table 4). Management and maintenance costs have been and will continue to be minimized through the cooperation of local citizens' and nonprofit organizations, businesses, schools and individual volunteers, and by coordinating the management of natural areas on a countywide basis. However, the management and maintenance of this natural area will require more than volunteer assistance. Some activities, such as mechanical fuel reduction, herbicide application, operation of chain saws and other hazardous or technical operations, are not suited to volunteers. Most of the staffing for ongoing habitat management and facility maintenance, including all hazardous and technical work, will be accomplished by existing county personnel with assistance from county contractors. Maintenance of the public use facilities, ongoing invasive/nonnative vegetation control/removal activities and other planned ·management activities on the natural area are subject to, and contingent upon, annual budgetary funding and appropriations by the BCC.

6.3 FUNDING SOURCES

Funds used to acquire, secure, develop, restore, manage and maintain the natural area have and will continue to come from County funding sources. Funding for these activities has and/or will come from the Palm Beach County Lands for Conservation Purposes Bond Issue Referendum of March 9, 1999, Palm Beach County Natural Areas Fund, Palm Beach County Natural Areas Stewardship Endowment Fund, Ag Reserve Land Management Fund and/or Palm Beach County General Fund, as may be amended.

* Current! y only the Monroe County population of this species is listed as a state species of special concern. FWC staff has recommended that populations of nonmigratory ospreys in nearby counties also should be given this designation until addition information such as genetic analysis becomes available to determine the relationships between these populations. If they are considered to be one population, it would be termed the southern coastal osprey population. The expansion of the designation to the other populations will not become effective until after an imperiled species management plan prepared by FWC staff has been reviewed by the public and approved by FWC.

Occurrences determined from data collected by ERM (2009-2014). Ranks assigned by FNAI are from a May 2015 tracking list (FNAI 2015); designations assigned by FWC are from FWC (2013b); and designations assigned by USFWS are from USFWS (undated). Definitions for the ranks and designations used by these entities are provided in Appendix C.

DEFINITIONS OF DESIGNATIONS AND RANKS FOR LISTED SPECIES AND NATURAL COMMUNITIES

United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) - Wildlife and Plants

Species listed in the Code of Federal Regulations (CPR) and protected under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 USC 1531-1543, as amended); animals are listed in 50 CPR 17-11 and plants are listed in 50 CPR 17-12; definitions are from 16 USC 1532, 36 CPR 219.36 and 50 CPR 17.50.

Endangered (E) Any· species which is in danger of extinction through all or a portion of its range other than a species of the Class Insecta determined by the Secretary [of the Interior] to constitute a pest whose protection under the provisions of this chapter would present an overwhelming and overriding risk to man

Threatened (T) Any species that is likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range

Candidate (C) Species identified by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFW) or the National Marine Fisheries Service (NFMS), which are considered to be candidates for listing under the Endangered Species Act as published in the Federal Register.

If a species is not endangered or threatened, but it closely resembles an endangered or threatened species, such species may be treated as endangered or threatened if the Director of USFWS makes a determination that the species shall appear in the list in 50 CPR 17 .11 (wildlife) or the list in 50 CPR 17.12 (plants) and that the notation (SIA) shall appear in the status column following the letter "E" for endangered or the letter "T" for threatened, due to its similarity of appearance to an endangered or threatened species - for example, E (SIA) or T (SIA).

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) -Animals

Species listed in Chapter 68A-27 of the Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.) as Florida Endangered and Threatened Species and protected under that chapter and the Endangered and Threatened Species Act, Section 372.072, Florida Statutes (F.S.); definitions are from Chapter 68A-27.
