Exotic Free =There are no invasive plants in the unit. Annual (2014/15) Invasive Plant Management Status Map This map represents what the current exotic treatment needs are for your area. Your whole site may be small and in the same in rotation; if this is the case state the rotation intervals for your area. Invasive Plant Management Plan 2012 Note: this whole area is actually in maintenance condition, this is only an example In rotation=maintenance with continued 2-3 year treatments Not in rotation=initial or no longer in maintenance condition

30 Central Florida Lygodium Strategy Presenter: Cheryl Millett

31 Lygodium, Lygodium and how and where we are killing Lygodium Cheryl Millett, Kristine Campbell & Kristina Serbesoff-King The Nature Conservancy Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission January 2014

32 Old World climbing fern (Lygodium microphyllum) Grows Fast Spreads easily and quickly Growth form difficult to control Fire tolerant Invades a wide variety of habitats Grows in very remote and undisturbed areas Has been found as far north as Sumter across to Volusia County and Duval in 2012

33

34 Fertile Non-fertile How to identify: Leaflets usually without lobes & without hairs on the lower surface; leaf stalks articulate (left behind when leaf drops)

35 kill it If new and small - pull out by the root* and bag up tightly, or spray Small or low-growing infestations -Spray-to-wet leaf surfaces with glyphosate (3-4 lb a.i. per gallon) or metsulfuron methyl Plants must be growing, not stressed Glyphosate products 2-3%. Plants treated with glyphosate alone will begin dying within 3 weeks Metsulfuron methyl 2 oz/100 gal. May take months to see effects If climbing into trees: poodle cut and spray cut at waist height inch gap treat lower, rooted portion of the plant with herbicide Re-treat

36 CFLS is A partnership: A goal: create a Lygodium-free zone across central Florida A strategic program: stay north coordinate needs of public and private detect and remove Lygodium microphyllum

37 Big picture in Florida >40 private pptys treated >18K acres surveyed 27 conservation areas buffered 130 sentinel sites to measure success Public managers reporting sightings and treating Kris Campbell helping with private lands work
