| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses Brazilian pepper, "one of the most aggressive and widespread of the non-indigenous plants thriving in wetland and upland habitats in Florida." Explains that "a brazilian pepper hedge infested a 40,000-square-foot pine upland on the northern edge of Royal Poincian[a Golf Club's] wetland...[The superintendent's] thought was to open up a more aesthetically pleasing view from the fairway and create a corridor for more mammals and birds by getting rid of the exotic vegetation." Emphasizes the importance of "communicating what was to be done, what it would look like, when it would be completed, what it would cost, and, equally important, what was in it for the membership." Explains that "because of the scope of the project, we selected a contractor to remove the exotic plant material." Describes the removal process and the following re-vegetation. Concludes that "the golf course now showcases, rather than obscures, one of Southwest Florida's most unique and valuable natural habitats." |
