BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost) <br />In 2012, Johnson Engineering began the process of adopting the Seminole <br />Wayside Park and began grant writing to help with restoration efforts. This <br />park serves as a nature preserve for endemic pine rockland, transitional <br />rockland hammock plant communities, which supports rare, threatened, and <br />endangered plant species. To date, we have received a six years of total <br />grant funding from the Florida Forest Service and a grant from Florida Fish <br />and Wildlife Conservation Commission Invasive Plant Management Section. <br />The FWC will provide a much needed initial invasive plant treatment and <br />hardwood removal. Johnson Engineering has been assisting with the oversight <br />of the Forest Service grant, which will include maintenance treatments, <br />prescribed burns, supplemental planting, development of educational <br />literature, and community outreach events to help increase community support <br />of the park. Johnson Engineering will also be providing matching contributions for the grant in the form on in-house rare <br />plant and habitat surveys, delineating habitat boundaries to monitor and prevent hardwood encroachment, creation and <br />maintenance of a GIS database, and community education. Most recently, our ecologists conducted Florida bonneted bat <br />acoustic surveys with our in-house equipment and were able to demonstrate the bats use of the park including <br />documentation of feeding buzzes, social calls and even parent-juvenile contact calls. Future grant writing efforts are <br />focusing on continuing the restoration efforts as well as obtaining funding for implementing other portions of the Park's <br />master plan such as development of nature trails and signage, and an educational center within the 3-acre wayside portion <br />of the park. <br />Project Cost: In kind services provided to date in the amount of $34,365 <br />Related Discipline: Environmental Analysis <br /> <br />25.
