7 CFLS is A goal: - create an OWCF-free zone across central Florida - prevent northward spread A strategic program: stay north Public and private lands detect and remove Lygodium microphyllum

8 Central Florida Lygodium Strategy (CFLS) is A partnership:

9 Find it By aerial surveys: Via CISMAs: Via Sentinel sites along northern line

10 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 herbicide Plants must be growing, not stressed If climbing into trees: poodle cut & spray cut at waist height inch gap treat lower, rooted portion of the plant with herbicide Re-treat

11 Biocontrol defoliating moth, Neomusotima conspurcatalis

12 Biocontrol Neomusotima conspurcatalis soon Release sites Range

13 Big picture in Florida >52 private properties treated >18.5K acres 48 conservation areas buffered 130 sentinel sites to measure success Public managers reporting sightings

14 FWC Upland Program - Early Detection/Rapid Response Strike Team Public conservation land lygodium, cogongrass or an EDRR species identified by the local CISMA maximum project size is 10 acres Easy site access Public Lands Treatment

15 Success or failure? Failure? A goal: create a Lygodium-free zone across central Florida- NO found on firebreak prevent northward spread- NO found in Duval Success? A strategic program: stay north - MAYBE public and private lands - YES detect and remove Lygodium microphyllum - YES

16 Vision for the future Continue approach and partnership More effective and efficient partnership Florida Forest Service to manage sentinel site monitoring Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission position to help with field work and contractor compliance Need aerial surveys on the central-east coast Need to ramp up submittal of sighting data ideally via EDDMapS
