ATTACHMENT_4_Core_Cons_Areas.pdf

This is an attachment (Attachment 4) from Quest Ecology depicting core conservation areas for the Cross Bar and Al Bar Ranch property located in Pasco County, Florida. The map details four specific land management zones: Core Conservation Area (7,083.72 acres), Long Leaf Pine Restoration (144.66 acres), Florida Scrub-Jay Management Area (1,687.74 acres), and Pasture Management Area (1,154.09 acres). The document provides a geospatial visualization of the property boundaries and different ecological management zones using color-coded and hatched areas on an aerial satellite imagery base map.

The map supports the broader ecological consulting contract opportunity which involves comprehensive ecosystem management for the 12,381-acre ranch property. The visualization demonstrates the strategic approach to habitat conservation, including specific focus areas for restoration, wildlife management, and land use. The color-coded zones indicate precise locations for targeted ecological interventions, such as pine restoration, scrub-jay habitat preservation, and pasture management. The map was created on August 20, 2020, by an individual with the initials CK, and includes a standard cartographic legend, scale, and directional compass to provide geographic context and professional documentation of the conservation planning process.
