PL513 - Task Assignment 205 - Updates and Enhancements to the Florida Ecological Greenways Network

The FSU Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) proposes to continue work on enhancements and updates to the Florida Ecological Greenways Network (FEGN) to support prioritization and decision-making in the Florida Forever program. This work will include both one-time activities to be accomplished in the current fiscal year, and ongoing activities that are expected to continue beyond this year, as noted further below. FNAI will subcontract and collaborate with the University of Florida Center for Landscape Conservation Planning (CLCP) in this effort and accomplish the following activities:

1. Refine FEGN Florida Forever Strategic Priorities (FFSP) - In collaboration with CLCP, FNAI will further refine the Florida Forever Strategic Priorities first developed in the 2021 FEGN update. The FFSP represents strategic conservation priorities (within the overall FEGN priorities 1-3) that are relevant to Florida Forever acquisitions. This will include:

• Consideration of additional wide-ranging species or landscape-level natural community connectivity needs to inform corridor bottlenecks;

• Corridor connectivity analysis of eastern indigo snake following method used for panther and bear;

• Evaluation of additional corridor modeling tools such as Circuitscape to identify critical bottlenecks for comparison with current analyses.

Refinement of Florida Forever Strategic Priorities is proposed to be an ongoing activity that will be completed annually.

2. Quarterly Updates of Florida Forever Strategic Priorities - FNAI will provide DEP with a GIS data layer quarterly for updates of the Florida Forever Strategic Priorities data layer. These updates primarily will address priorities affected by changes to conservation lands boundaries due to additional land acquisitions as well as significant land use changes. No changes will be made to overall FEGN priorities in these updates; updates will solely be made to strategic priorities within existing FEGN priority classes. This is proposed to be an ongoing activity that will be completed quarterly in future years as well.

3. Review and update FEGN model and conduct boundary updates for priorities in vicinity of Florida Forever projects and conservation lands.

a. The Center for Landscape Conservation Planning (CLCP), as a subcontract with FNAI, will

1) review and update the FEGN model with the most current data available, and 2) update the model to account for developed or unsuitable lands that may influence critical corridor linkages. The update should include updated conservation lands data such as the Florida Forever Acquired (FF_acquired) and Florida Managed Areas (flma) data updated and maintained by FNAI. Other data sources could include the Public Lands Inventory, National Conservation Easement Database or other appropriate data source as applicable. This assessment will further ensure that Florida Forever evaluations will be based on a comprehensive assessment of land acquisition projects’ contributions to landscape connectivity. The most current land use data (i.e., FLUCCS, CLC, etc.) will be used to update the model to account for developed or unsuitable lands within the corridor.

b. Evaluation of current FEGN Priority 4 will be conducted to determine if boundary priorities are accurate or warrant an update. Further review and updates will be conducted for inholdings within current conservation lands where FEGN priorities are not aligned. This activity will utilize additional spatial prioritization methods if warranted.
