Appendix I - Planting Areas.pdf

This file is an appendix map prepared by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Florida Forest Service, depicting the 2026-2027 planting areas within Withlacoochee State Forest located in Citrus County and Hernando County, Florida. The map identifies five separate forest areas totaling approximately 527 acres designated for hand-planting containerized longleaf pine seedlings. The planting areas are distributed across multiple wildlife management areas and state forest locations, including Potts Wildlife Management Area (200 acres), Jumper Creek Wildlife Management Area (148 acres), Half Moon Wildlife Management Area (123 acres), Flying Eagle Wildlife Management Area (215 acres), and Lake Panasoffkee Wildlife Management Area (41 acres). The map was prepared by Nicole Howard on September 23, 2026, and includes geographical reference data from multiple sources including the State of Florida, Citrus County GIS Division, FDEP, and various mapping services.

The appendix serves as the geographic and spatial reference document supporting the competitive bid solicitation for hand-planting services. No pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent information, or funding details are contained within this map document, as it functions solely as a planning and location reference tool to clearly delineate the boundaries and acreage of each planting area for bidders preparing proposals and conducting site assessments.
