About the program
The Upland Plant Management Program under Florida Statute
(F.S. 369.252) (Statutes) within the Department of Environmental Protection
(DEP) incorporates ecosystem management concepts involving "place-based
management" that brings together regionally diverse interests to develop flexible, innovative strategies to address local upland
invasive plant management issues on public conservation lands in Florida.
The Upland Plant
Management Section of the bureau funds individual invasive plant removal projects on public conservation lands throughout the
state. Projects are considered based on recommendations from Regional Invasive Plant Working Groups.
A statewide network of eleven Regional Invasive Plant Working Groups
has been established comprising federal, state, and local government public conservation land managers and non-governmental organizations throughout the state.
These working groups have an active role in selecting projects for upland invasive plant management at a local level.
The bureau has also established service contracts with regional invasive plant control contractors with an established fee schedule to help all Florida governmental entities streamline the hiring of plant removal contractors.
