area):
Upper Keys: Key Largo; Tavernier
Lower Keys: Sugarloaf Keys; Cudjoe Key; Summerland Key; Ramrod Key; Torch Keys; Big fine Key
1
Most individual parcels are only 0.1 acres in size, but many are contiguous and combine to form larger
runts. The major-ty of the sites are located in neighborhoods, adjacent to residences and roads. Work in
neighborhoods will require special considerations for safety, noise and appearance of the property. Level
of infestation varies by site, ranging from sparse exotics to dense stands of Brazilian pepper.
"I'liere are no plaps or maps for the project area. The selected contractor-will lie given a Iist o('parcels and

'File County conservation lands contain a wide variety of exotics ranging from grasses to large trees.
Different areas of the Keys have difTerent species of concern but,Brazilian pepper, Australian pine,
Asiatic colubrina, lead tree, seaside mahoe, non-native scaevola and bowstring hemp are the most
abundant. Most of the sites include a mixture of native vegetation and invasive exotic vegetation. The
native vegetation must.not be disturbed during the invasive exotic removal. The rnajority offthe sites will
be located in uIA Ads, but a few may be adryjacent to wetlands (including mangroves). Heavy ecluiprnent

Most sites are within neighborhoods and are easily accessed from adjacent roads. Contractor ni►.rst be
