Intent to offer help to the City to explore alternative aquatic means. Encouraged the City previously to suspend spraying Round up custom until a better strategy Applied Aquatics using said they will use different product. The Glyphosate — used worldwide since 1970. One of 14 compounds used in Florida. Round Up Custom. Hard to determine the harmful effects in the water. Round up is not persistent in water but is in soils. What be concerned if it used in such a wide spread manner. Quote from Progressive radio Network. The year 2015 has not been kind to Monsanto. Efforts are on its way to ban the Round -up. Being considered as a carcinogen. The radio network reliable 280 million pounds used last year. Monsanto is being compared to the tobacco companies. Possible biological alternative - Trip load grass cup prevents weed reproduction. The downside the digestion produces methane. Will email article to everyone. In this list of alternatives the use of the Asian cup. Your ruled by the FFWL commission and. Will be useful to know. Suggestion put together a proposal to the IR lagoon council and bring in. The more we spray the more the weeds will grow back. • Mr. Watanabe - Does tie into pilot project 2. Ms. Jane Snay (Board on friends of St. Sebastian River) — The invasive plant A' k problem is over taking our County and City. (Passed out items) State of Florida spends over 100 million dollars a year to get rid of the invasive plants in the natural areas, conservation areas. We have to stop planting invasive plants. The second list handed out is what is considered invasive plants in Florida. Need to educate people for people to stop purchasing the invasive plants. Wanted to see if the NRB would be interested to get involved. The Brazilian Peppers and weeds choke out the Native plants. Asking for help to educate people. One of the things the NRB is supposed to do is review the landscape requirements for building. Make sure something is specified about Native plants. A percentage of new homes are required to have so much grass to reduce fertilizer use. Suggested to have something on the NRB website on this. The City has property that has weed and Brazilian peppers. Like ideas? • Mr. Gordian — I think something on the website would be beneficial. • Ms. Ring — Do you have a booth for Earth day? • Mr. Progulske - The brochure is geared more toward the North East Florida. We don't have a lot of issue with Mimosa tree usually in this area. • Vice -Chair Gordian — Where is the park with the trees? • Ms. Jane Snay — Delon Trail — East of Sebastian River bridge on 512. • Mr. Progulske — Point of information, Cannot get rid of them unless you use chemicals. Once you get them under control you don't need to use the spray again. 3. Mr. Mark Body — Involved in a spraying p gram foY about 5 years. Ducks unlimited put in about over a million dollars to contr which is a wetland invasive species. Spoke of the program he is involved in. Spoke of the corn he was growing in the canal bank by his house, the canal was being sprayed by the airboats for the vegetation. Whatever the committee can do to inform the public would be a good idea. • Vice -Chair Gordian suggested more add-ons to the website. Natural Resources Board Meeting April 05, 2016 Page 4 4. Mr. Graham Park spoke of going to symposium and fertilizer ordinance • Mr. Clifton — How do we get stores to stock compliant fertilizers? • Mr. Watanabe — The ordinance is posted on our website and the County website in regards to the fertilizer ordinance, 7. NEW BUSINESS Item D. Sebastian Waterway— Pilot Project • Vice -Chair Gordian — Board come up sectional - how we can go about. Whether its ground cover to deter the growth. • Mr. Progulske - The issue of spraying is for aquatic vegetation not for the terrestrial vegetation. You're talking about adding plants that doesn't help. It's to keep the drain system open for drainage. • Mr. Watanabe — Spraying of our water way via public comments. Required to spray to keep the water way open. Our requirement to keep water flowing, trying to least impact the environment. Spraying is in question by the community, now that's why it's on the agenda to see if you want to do some sort of pilot project not to spray but some type of manual removal. This item needs to go higher up. Recommendation need to speak with the city manager then to Council. Good to have dialogue. • Mr. Clifton — Attachment A — referenced January 27th meeting. Do not believe attachment A is being fulfilled. It is being avoided by Applied Aquatics. Suggested to go back and look at the Applied Aquatics agreement to make sure they are fulfilled. • Mr. Progulske — Not sure if FWC has the staff to come out and look at every time there going to spray time. • Mr. Clifton — Then they shouldn't put that in the agreement. • Mr. Watanabe — the contract is a Piggy back off of the FWC agency. The City follows the larger regulatory agency scope. • Mr. Clifton — If the spraying was done to an actual need rather than once a month • Vice-Chair—Controlled maintenance? JJcC • Ale Mr. Clifton — We all know the purpose of the Canals. When you get to. w p rk, has a designated wetlands along the edge of it and walk it every morning and yet to • see any issues with the waterway —fre flowing don't see any problems. Mr. Watanabe — The was the area around%a0rli, man-made as part of mitigation measure by SJRW MD. Maintained by Applied aquatics. • Ms. Ring — Try using something less toxic. Try something else, not carcinogenic. Ask to take out of our mixture and use something else. • Mr. Progulske - We could look at that issue, really a smaller portion of a bigger issue. As one of the gentleman that gave a public comment that he has a lawn company that spray lawn chemicals on his property which are probably as potent if not more so than the chemicals that are sprayed in the canals. Really a public education thing. We should look at the most ecologically affective way that causes the least ecological damage. Private individuals are using chemicals all over their properties from an area standpoint is much larger than the canal system. There are a lot of landscape companies that use 24-D which is much worse than glyphosate. Other aspects and more potent chemicals used in day to day operations. • Ms. Glaser — Concern with the park — Saw use of a spreader. • Mr. Watanabe — Riverview Park is now contracted out to Ameron. • Ms. Moore — charge on CRA — on radar to go and check. • Vice -Chair — any one go to the Indian River symposium, how beneficial to be there • Mr. Clifton — Heard form a lot of different people. Natural Resources Board Meeting April 05, 2016 Page 5 • Mr. Watanabe — The average person does more damage in spraying and we need to educate more. The City is going to do a marketing campaign on Storm water to educate the residents. • VC — Will we wait on results from Ms., Moore on parking • Ms. Moore — Growing Pains. This weekend testing out golf carts. Trying to figure it out if you have any ideas please email me. Flowing until we get it figured it out. • Mr. Progulske — Golf carts used to transport. • Mr. Watanabe — Touched on the different • Ms. Moore — Trying to figure out balance • Ms. Lucier — Concern on Food vendors. • Ms. Moore — This is at the direction of the Council and up to the City manager. • Ms. Lucier — Out of site and out of mind • VC — Spoke of vendor unloading • Ms. Glaser— Will state in my email. • Ms. Moore — In the meeting these things can be ironed out.

Cin 'F SEBA RAN HOME OF PELICAN ISLAND 1225 Main Street, Sebastian, FL 32956 DETAILED STATEMENT OF THE PROPOSED ACTIVITY City of Sebastian March 3, 2016 Proiect Name: City of Sebastian LPOH — Low Profile Oyster Habitat The Project site is located, adjacent to the shoreline of Indian River Boulevard at the cross street of Harrison Street. The project does not have a specific address but the site is located across from the Veterans Memorial Site in the City of Sebastian's right-of-way in zip code 32958. The approximate distance from the edge of pavement is 140' to the actual shoreline. Proiect Coordinates: Latitude N-270 48'32.7168" Longitude E-80°27'48.996" Proiect DescrinHon: The proposed project site for the Low Profile Oyster Habitat (LPOH) is within the City of Sebastian's shoreline right-of-way, located in Indian River County. The LPOH material will be comprised of biodegradable bags which will break down over a period of 5 years, clean oyster shells and zip ties. Each bag of shells will weigh approximately 30lbs each and will be placed perpendicular and 22' east of the shoreline. There will be 80 bags with 200 shells in each equaling to a total of 16,000 shells. Each bag is 20 feet long and there will be five bags aligned with 5 foot spacing between bags. The bags will be approximately 22 feet from the existing shoreline at depth of 18 inches. The bags will be placed two high not to exceed 18", 12" in width. Proiect /=UUa&X Cultch (Oyster shells) and biodegradable bags shall be placed along the shoreline of Indian River Drive at approximately 22 feet from the shore at depth of 18 inches. There will be five bags (two bags high), tied together with zip ties and each bag is 20 feet in length with a spacing of 5 feet between bags. The bags will be monitored by the City staff to ensure the oyster bags stay in place. The site area has been surveyed and there are no visible seagrass or other aquatic vegetation within the area. The bags will be installed from the shoreline by manual hand labor and no heavy equipment will be used. All materials and bags will be transported to the project site and staged at the public grassy open area adjacent to the shoreline. Proiect Purpose: The purpose of creating this LPOH is to help protect the City's shorelines and to help with preventing erosion of the shoreline. The Low Profile Oyster Habitat is a way to broaden ecological functions and societal benefits. Oyster habitats are vital to the health of an estuary, filtering nutrients, fine sediments and toxins from the water. Proiect Uonitorinei The project will be monitoring by the City of Sebastian after every storm event to ensure the oyster bag installation has not moved. If the project is not successful after two years of monitoring, then it will be removed from the Indian River and disposed in an upland disposal site.

They may be located on public or private property. • First, check the City of Sebastian Champion Tree Inventory on the NRB web page to see if your tree species is listed and check the current champion's statistics. Keep in mind that only native and non-invasive naturalized tree species are eligible. • If your tree is not listed and seems like it might be competitive with those listed, submit a nomination form available on the Sebastian NRB web page. • Nominations can be mailed to or dropped off at the Sebastian City Hall. • Nominations are reviewed and assigned for measurement at regular Natural Resources Board meetings on the I` Tuesday of each month. • You will be contacted by a NRB member to arrange a convenient time to obtain the measurements of your candidate tree. There are a number of native trees that do not yet have State Champions. They can be found at Native Tree Species in Florida without Champions. Check the Florida Forest Service database for that list. Keep in mind that, depending on the tree species, a champion may be relatively small. Measuring Trees Tree measurements and point scores follow the procedure for Nomination of a Tree to the Florida Champion Tree Record. Measurements include: • Trunk circumference, in inches, at 4 feet above average ground level. • Height in feet. • Crown spread diameter in feet. Points are given as follows: • Circumference —1 point per inch. • Height — I point per foot. • Average crown spread — 1 point per 4 feet.

I lost the document that Frank gave us earlier about how the program is supposed to be managed. There were a few more questions in there. But, this is enough brainstorming for me in a vacuum. These are just thoughts with no purpose other than to possibly provide a basis from which to develop the questions/comments the group is willing to support.

What were the aquatic vegetation conditions prior to herbicide application? a. What were the target plants? 2. What are the specific chemicals currently being applied to the stormwater canal system? a. What is the concentration/volume of each in the solution as it is applied? b. What is the application rate? Gal/acre or whatever unit is used by the applicator. c. Has the chemistry of the combined herbicide "cocktail" been evaluated for development of more toxic chemicals? OPINION: In no case should non -biodegradable chemicals be applied. These types of chemicals accumulate in the sediments and may present future issues. 3. Hardee Park's shoreline is a wetland mitigation area. The growth of aquatic plants does not appear to significantly affect the flow capacity of the canal. NEED TO TAKE A CANOE AND CHECK OUT BETTER. 4. What are the SPECIFIC requirements imposed by St. Johns River Management District and/or other governmental agencies relative to control of aquatic vegetation in Sebastian's stormwater drainage system? a. When was the last time these requirements were evaluated against conditions on the ground? OPINION: A periodic review; for compliance, need, technology advances, etc. should be a central requirement for any regulatory requirement. But, it is an often neglected requirement. 5. Are herbicides a concern for recovery of the Indian River Lagoon? a. Have herbicides been identified or suspected as a factor in the decline of sea grasses or other beneficial plant species? b. Have studies measured herbicide concentrations in the IRL? If so: i. Where can these data be obtained? • ii. Were the sources of the herbicide identified? 6. Numerous undeveloped lots along the canal have trees and shrubs that overhang the canal. Commonly the trees are invasive Brazilian Pepper trees. a. The trees along sections with seawalls will eventually damage the bulkhead and result in the eventual collapse of the shore — restricting storm flows. b. Eventually the trees will fall into the canal and result in impaired flow and considerable cost for removal. c. As good neighbors the owners of vacant lots should be responsible for maintaining the growth of vegetation on their property. i. The City should have the ability to notify blighted (overgrown) property owners of the specific issues they need to address. ii. Given that no response is obtained in a timely manner, the City should: 1. Contract with a company to address the issues identified, such as, a. Removal of invasive species, b. Removal of trees that are encroaching on neighbor's property, public property, or public rights-of-way. c. Removal of trees within x -feet of seawalls. 2. Lien the property for all costs incurred by City staff involved in the process and for contracting the cleanup. 3. A process should, if there is not, be available in the case of a recalcitrant property owner whereby the property can be condemned and sold before the accumulated liens accrued by the property exceeds a percentage (-75% ?) of its market value.

I have a Ph.D. in ecological economics and a master of science in economics, as well as decades of service in county and state government in New York. Before retiring I worked for more than 20 years with the national Audubon Society and Audubon New York. I have served for many years as an advisor to the US Forest Service on sustainable forest management in the US and in the northeast states. I spoke to the natural resources board at the March 1, 2016, meeting about the use of herbicide sprays along the canals and waterways of the city. My intent was and still is to offer help to the city to explore alternative means to control aquatic weeds. At that time I urged the city to suspend spraying of Roundup Custom until a better strategy is developed. In partial response the city's contractor, Applied Aquatics, said they would use another herbicide, AquaMaster, supposedly a more dilute form of Roundup without some of the chemical additives. Both are trade names for a chemical called glyphosate. I have had some time to explore the web sites on toxicology of herbicides and have downloaded several research papers and some materials produced by state agricultural extension services. These latter papers can be suspect because the agricultural colleges rely on `big agriculture' for many of their financial support needs. However, they do present a useful list of non-toxic alternatives including various removal methods whose per acre costs are in the same range as spraying Roundup. In summary, there are 60 approved aquatic control methods available in Florida in four categories: chemical, biological, mechanical and physical. I will talk briefly about one chemical, glyphosate, and one biological possibility as an alternative for some aquatic weed control. Glyphosate has been in use worldwide since the 1970s as a "safe" herbicide. It is one of 14 chemical compounds approved for use in the state of Florida for the control of aquatic weeds and invasive plants. As I noted above, AquaMaster, is Roundup diluted and without the extra fillers or surfactants that you find in the Roundup Custom. It is these fillers that are probably as harmful if not more so than glyphosate. The chemical companies are reluctant to disclose the fillers in their products and they are not tested by EPA nor do they have an MSDS sheet for fillers. Many of the environmental and human health problems with Roundup and other chemicals come from these `secret' extra ingredients. In one research paper done in California a decade ago they reported on a three year study of about a dozen herbicides and aquacides on water quality, fish and other living organisms in many water bodies and rivers. They compared the parts per million or billion found or left in the 1 water and the fish before and after spraying. It seems there are various ppm/ppb acceptable numbers for different levels of water use. US EPA seems to have the highest tolerance levels. There are more stringent State standards for fishing use, swimming use and drinking uses of various waters. Again this is California where I can only guess that they are ahead of Florida in stringency and enforcement of any water standards. Though they rated glyphosate as an ecological problem it was nowhere near as bad as some of the other tested chemicals in commor. use. And here was their other problem: it is hard to distinguish the effects of the herbicides sprayed in the water in their experiments from the background levels of chemicals found in the water, simply because we have used so much of these chemicals in so many forms and so many areas for so many years. So, for example, can we separate the impacts of a monthly spraying of Roundup along the canals and rivers of Indian River County from the daily use of these chemicals all over the citrus groves, gardens and golf courses in past years? The claim is that Roundup is not persistent in the water but it is in the soils, but tracing the ppm/ppb and chemical composition back to the canal spraying and not knowing the background levels is a real problem. This problem was identified in a local Press Journal article of a year ago. We use so much glyphosate all over the landscape that pinning the problems in the canals down to this one monthly spraying activity may be very difficult. Why be concerned about glyphosate when it is considered a `safe' herbicide to use in such a widespread manner? Early papers — mainly by the chemical companies and by the extension services — reported that it had minimal effects on the environment and living organisms. Not so today. Let me quote one recent extensive report from Progressive Radio Network, from September 14, 2015. "Monsanto's Sealed Documents Reveal the Truth Behind Roundup's Toxicological Dangers.'' September 14, 2015, Progressive Radio Network, by Richard Gale and Gary Null In the news category of Genetic Engineering: "The year 2015 hasn't been kind to Monsanto. In March, the World Health Organization declared that the company's flagship product, its herbicide glyphosate or Roundup, is a probable human carcinogen. Increasingly, national health ministries are taking a hard second look at glyphosate's health and environmental dangers and efforts are underway to ban the herbicide,To protect its citizens, last year the Netherlands, Bermuda and Sri Lanka have either banned or imposed strict limits on Roundup. Last June, France banned its use in gardens. Brazil, Germany and Argentina are considering legislative bans. And this month, California's environmental protection agency launched plans to label Roundup as a carcinogen." The radio network gave us this number to think about: "The latest reliable figures from the US Geological Survey record 280 million pounds of Roundup were used in 2012, nearly a pound for every American." The radio network report continued: "There is now an enormous cache of evidence on both scientific and legal grounds that Monsanto in fact conducted numerous studies in the 1970s and N 1980s on glyphosate's toxicity and health risks and intentionally sealed this research from independent and public review and scrutiny." Monsanto in fact has been compared to the tobacco companies which, for several decades, hid the results of their human health research on nicotine addiction from the public. Now let me talk about one biological control that is in common use throughout Florida in ponds and lakes and may be effective in our canals. That is the use of triploid Grass Carp. My colleague Dr. Bill Loftus, a fisheries biologist working in South Florida for 30 years, says: "They are used all over Florida to control weeds effectively and there has been a huge amount of work on their effects. The triploid genetic complement prevents their reproduction and they can be fished out when no longer desired. One downside is that, after eating the macrophytes, their digestion acts to release bound nutrients from the plants as with any herbivore, but that also happens with spraying. Only mechanical removal of plants away from the water body will help reduce the nutrient load." And this description from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, responsible for many aspects of controlling aquatic weeds here: "Grass carp are fish imported from Asia for use in controlling aquatic vegetation. One of the few fish species which eat plants, grass carp may provide a low-cost, long-term, herbicide -free means of dealing with problem plants in your pond or lake. The designation of triploid signifies that they have been genetically altered at hatcheries to prevent the fish from spawning in Florida waters." My suggestions to you, the members of the city's Natural Resources Board: spend a few hours researching the web sites for the University of Florida, Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants, and the Invasive Plant Management Section of Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Start with this web page: Plant Management In Florida lVaters; All yorr want to know about Florida's lakes, rimers, springs, marshes, swamps and canals Also take a look at: OF/institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences: "I)etails About the Aquatic Herbicides Used in Florida."' Any government agency, including Sebastian, which is involved in aquatic weed management needs to work with a permit from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission and comply with the Florida statutes for aquatic plant management. One requirement is that there has to be a guiding document, a management plan, an integrated plant management plan or IPM. It would be helpful for you to review the city of Sebastian plan and the permit under which it has authorized this canal aquatic weed control work. The basic components of an integrated plant management plan must include the following components: o considering available management options o understanding the biology and life cycles of target and non -target species o evaluating ecosystem sensitivity to invasion by introduced organisms o considering the impacts of management on ecosystems o reducing invasive species impacts below an economic/ecological threshold 3 o allowing flexibility to adapt management techniques to changing conditions o developing additional management options. "IPM programs must also consider the many shared and often competing uses of areas to be managed. Additionally, conditions change throughout the year and programs designed for one season may be unsuitable for others," according to the Fish and Wildlife Commission. My suggestion here is this: if we are concerned about the effects of herbicides on the ecology of the Lagoon and human health of all county and Treasure Coast residents, we put together a proposal to the IRLagoon Council that they fund a study of herbicide spraying effects and we bring in some really competent professionals to do the work. Without solid, scientifically based evidence we will not convince the city council and the Lagoon council that we need to take action to halt the herbicide spraying and agree on alternative aquatic plant control measures. And one final thought: it is still not clear to me how they are defining the problem in the canals and river that requires monthly spraying of Roundup. Is it to clear the waterways of all or some plants and algae, is it to kill off invasive species or is it for some other reason? One observation that comes from the Extension Service and other research papers is this: the more we spray the more vigorously the "weeds" and algae grow back. It is an endless and ever increasing cost. And there are alternative non-toxic treatments that are just as effective. Meanwhile, Mr Stephen and I plan on conducting a short survey of our neighbors along the canals and ask them about their concerns and the health effects, real or otherwise, from the city's spraying. For example, who has a well by the canal? Who drinks the water? Who eats the fishes from the canal? One fact from the California research: many of the chemicals tested should not be applied within certain distances from drinking water sources — that is, their domestic wells -- no matter what the MSDS says and the label on the bottle says. Thank you for listening. 4 w� I What Is An Invasive Plant? Of the more than 4,000 plant species found in Florida, over 1,300 are non-native or exotic, which Is defined as a species of plant that usually comes from another region, country, continent, or ocean. When these plants negatively impact human health, the economy or the environment, they are considered to be Invashre. Prohibited Plants Some Invasive plants are so problematic, an Individual propagating, transporting or selling them may be subject to fines. The four most common prohibited plants you may find In your landscape are shown below. Japanese Climbing Fern Lygodlum/opontcum Air Potato Oloscorea bulbifera Brazilian Pepper Schinus terebinthifollus (pictured on cover) So, What's The Problem? In their native ranges, plants generally do not become a nuisance. With modern transportation, many exotic plants have caught a free ride to Florida. Once they arrive, they are free from natural enemies that existed In their home range (Insects, diseases, etc.) and can outgrow and replace Florida's native plants, which diminishes our state's natural beauty. Furthermore, animals that use native plants are often unable to adapt to a non-native plant Invasion so they leave the area or die out. Why Should We Care? Nearly $loo million Is spent each year to control Invasive plants In Florida. If not kept in check, invasive plants can create Ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes, and cause serious navigation blockages and major flooding problems. Keeping Things Under Control After much research, we know that some Invasive plant species will never be eradicated In Florida; they simply reproduce too quickly. So now, the strategy Is to keep Infestations at the lowest feasible levels. This helps lessen overall environmental damage including the reduction of ' 4µ herbicides needed for control. 1 Take Action Now < <;J Preventing the Introduction and spread of non-native plants In Florida Is the most effective and least expensive means of protecting natural habitats. k. • Learn to Identify invasive plants.

Patricia L Howell Heteropterys brachiata (red wing) Heteropterys brachiata or "redwing" is a liana (woody vine) in the Malpighiaceae family. It is native to Mexico, Central America and South America. Redwing seedlings dominate the understory of hardwood hammocks, and older plants twine up into the canopy where their flowers and fruits are present, but out of reach, in winter months. The fruits of redwing are deep red, wind -dispersed samaras; hence the name "redwing." Jennifer Possley, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden Praxelis clematidea (Praxelis) Praxelis clematidea is an Aster with lavender colored flowers from South America. Its short life cycle and propensity to be moved by vehicles contribute to its recent invasion in Central Florida. Look for young, light green plants with irregularly toothed leaves that soon flower, and then develop tough stems and bases. Flowers are a series of florets produced in heads, each producing a single, bristle -topped seed that is seated on a conical receptacle. This key character is easy to see because the phyllaries fall to reveal the receptacle when the head is in fruit.

Distinguish this species from our natives by its tubular white flowers that are no longer than 1 mm and fruits that are less than 1.5mm long.

Patricia L Howell Heteropterys brachiata (red wing) Heteropterys brachiata or "redwing" is a liana (woody vine) in the Malpighiaceae family. It is native to Mexico, Central America and South America. Redwing seedlings dominate the understory of hardwood hammocks, and older plants twine up into the canopy where their flowers and fruits are present, but out of reach, in winter months. The fruits of redwing are deep red, wind -dispersed samaras; hence the name "redwing." Jennifer Possley, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden Praxelis clematidea (Praxelis) Praxelis clematidea is an Aster with lavender colored flowers from South America. Its short life cycle and propensity to be moved by vehicles contribute to its recent invasion in Central Florida. Look for young, light green plants with irregularly toothed leaves that soon flower, and then develop tough stems and bases. Flowers are a series of florets produced in heads, each producing a single, bristle -topped seed that is seated on a conical receptacle. This key character is easy to see because the phyllaries fall to reveal the receptacle when the head is in fruit.

Colette Jacono Use of the FLEPPC List The FLEPPC List of Invasive Plant Species is not a regulatory list. Only those plants listed as Federal Noxious Weeds, Florida Noxious Weeds, Florida Prohibited Aquatic Plants, or in local ordinances are regulated by law. FLEPPC encourages use of the Invasive Species List for prioritizing and implementing management efforts in natural areas, for educating lay audiences about environmental issues, and for supporting voluntary invasive plant removal programs. For more information on using the FLEPPC List of Invasive Plant Species, see Proper Uses of FLEPPC Invasive Plant Lists at www.f1eppc.orgAistnisLhtm NOTE: Not all exotic plants brought into Florida become pest plants in natural areas. The FLEPPC List of Invasive Plant Species represents only about 11% of more than 1,400 exotic species that have been introduced into Florida and have subsequently established outside of cultivation. Most escaped exotics usually present only minor problems in highly disturbed areas (such as road -sides). And there are other exotics cultivated in Florida that are "well-behaved" — that is, they don't escape cultivation at all. www.fleppc.org Scientific Name Richardia grandii lora Ricinus communis Rotala romndifolia Ruellia blechum (= Blechum brownet) Sansevieria hyacimhoides Sabania punicea Solanum diphyllum Solanum torvem Spermac:ce verdcillata' Sphagnedrola trilobata (= Weddia trilobata) Stachytarpheta caymnensis (=S. a tWoha) 5yogrus rnmanzoffianu (=Arecmtrum romamoffianum) Syzygium Jambos Taliparid tifiaccurn (= Hibiscus Meccas) Terminalia catappa Terminalia mueflen Tradescantiaspathocea (= Rhoeo spathacea, Rhoco discolor) Tribulus cistoides Vttex trifofia Wmhingtonia robusta Wedefia (see Sphagnedcola above) Wisteria sinensis )famhasoma sagitdfolium Chinese wisteria malanga, elephant ear 11 N.

We here at A FLOC love being outdoors, active and riding our fat tire bikes is just one way we are connecting with nature. The AFLOC Fat -tire Bike Challenge developed by Mike Beck. It is based on a German national program Mike participated and competed in from the age of 11 to 16 while living in Germany. It is a series of challenges the riders encounter along a figure 8 course. Bicycle safety is taught in a series of fun skills set in a course where participants challenge themselves as they race the clock! A FLOC will bring this activity with all the elements, equipment and personnel to run at your facility, event or school. Scavenger Hunt- Walked the park for questions for the scavenger hunt so clues will help educate participants Chalk Art- Alexis Thomas 8:30-1:00 "A Healthy Lagoon: Let's Chalk About it" is an educationally fun chalk art contest to promote pollution prevention to the Indian River Lagoon. Come out to Sebastian's 2016 Earth Day Celebration at Riverview Park to learn about the Lagoon and how to protect it from pollution while then inspiring others by creating your own chalk design! All ages are welcome and each category will have a prize winner. Additionally there will be a category for those of you who are exceptionally talented, with a bonus prize not to be missed!
