HOT TOPICS

Outreach and education:  The language of fire

The language we use to describe land management is important.  Click here for information on words and messages that resonate with the public.

Private lands conservation

Do you know any private landowners interested in scrub management?  Check out the programs available for private lands in these presentations.  You can find links to even more opportunities here.

Want to learn more about conservation banking?  Check out this article about conservation banking in Florida, and read this primer on the subject.  You can also click this link to learn about the new scrub conservation bank in Highlands County.

You can contact FWC's private lands biologists by visiting this website.

Disease and scrub-jays

A fact sheet regarding scrub-jays and avian diseases can be found here.  Information on Archbold Biological Station's efforts to study avian diseases is available here.  If you are permitted to band scrub-jays, you can find recommendations for preventing the spread of avian pox by following this link

Mechanical treatments in scrub

Interested in learning more about mechanical treatments?  Check out these presentations from the Southwest Florida Scrub Working Group, this report from Archbold Biological Station, and the newly released "Scrub Management Guidelines for Peninsular Florida: Using the Florida Scrub-Jay as an Umbrella Species."  You can also view videos from a demonstration at the Lake Wales Ridge Ecosystem Working Group meeting.

Ever wonder what conditions are needed for scrub to burn?    

Steve Morrison of TNC has some ideas here.  

You can help Steve expand on this study!  If you have conducted prescribed burns in scrub, please visit this link for more information on how you can help.
