Management
Removal of invasive non-native plants and prescribed burning
are the two primary management focuses on the Jones/Hungryland
Wildlife and Environmental Area. The major invasive plants on
Hungryland are melaleuca, Australian pine, Brazilian pepper, and
Lygodium.
FWC is
working diligently to control these invasive plants. Staff also
began implementing the prescribed burn program in 2003 to reduce
heavy fuel loads, lessen the chance of catastrophic wildfires,
and to enhance natural communities for the benefit of wildlife.
