APPENDIX I - MAP.pdf

This document consists of contract treatment maps prepared by the Florida Forest Service for invasive species management at Lake Wales Ridge State Forest, Arbuckle Tract, during the 2025-2026 period.

The LC5 Bay Lygodium Contract Treatment encompasses 251 total acres across the Arbuckle Tract. The map displays density distributions of the invasive fern species by percentage, with treatment zones color-coded to indicate varying infestation levels ranging from 0-10 percent density through 80-90 percent density. The LC6 Rosary Pea Contract Treatment covers 7.1 acres within the same forest and tract. The treatment method summary for Rosary pea specifies that every vine of Abrus precatorius must be cut and sprayed, with uncut vines or those cut but not sprayed deemed improperly treated. All obtainable seed pods must be collected during treatment operations. The maps were created by Jason Bodo and exported on July 21, 2025, providing geographic reference scales and directional orientation for field operations.

The documents identify two distinct invasive species management contracts with specific acreage allocations and treatment methodologies. The Rosary pea treatment zones are marked with density levels of 60-70 percent and 80-90 percent, indicating high concentrations requiring intensive management efforts. These treatment areas are part of the Florida Forest Service's broader invasive species control program within the Lake Wales Ridge State Forest system during the 2025-2026 fiscal year.
