Recovery Potential
• Land has a high recovery potential
• UCF’s land has an immense native seed bank which should allow natural regeneration to occur
• Variety of habitat types with a high diversity of native vegetation
– Panicum spp.– Lyonia spp.– Andropogon spp.– Liatris spp.– Vaccinium spp.– Chamaecrista spp.
• Land management activities will also support native recruitment
• Significant percentage of native species located on adjacent properties

Regional Significance
• Contiguous corridor to other conservation lands through the Little Econlockhatchee River system
• Increased invasive species in our plant communities could lead to increased potential spread
• Treatment of invasive species allows for restoration & enhancement projects on the property.
• Contains rare and imperiled habitats including sandhill S2, scrub S2, xeric hammock S3, scrubby flatwoods S3, and wet prairie S2
• Educationally significant

Long Term Mgmt. Plan
• Future maintenance outlined in UCF Environmental Initiative Weed Management Plan
• Continued maintenance of invasive species populations will be funded by the Environmental Initiative.
• This project will be maintained by Environmental Initiative staff and volunteers
• Biannual inspections of treated areas
• Incorporation into overall Land Management Plan
• Land management activities will also support control of invasive species.

Public Awareness & Outreach
• The Environmental Initiative will increase public awareness on invasive species, including placing information on the Environmental Initiative’s website (green.ucf.edu), posting interpretive signage, hosting workdays and workshops, and educating visitors and volunteers.
