Seacrest Boulevard, just south of Gateway Boulevard in Boynton Beach. The 23-acre park property is owned and managed by the City of Boynton Beach. The property includes a Community Center, playground and picnic area, outdoor bask.etbal~ tennis and racquetball courts, sand volleyball court, football field, open play field, baseball field and an 8-acre natural preserve. The Rolling Green (Hester) Scrub natural preserve is not open to the public as an outdoor recreation site at this time; however, educational tours are conducted as part of the Parks Division Environmental Program. The preserve consists largely of scrub, scrubby flatwoods and mesic hammock natural communities. Other scrub areas on the property consist largely of scrubby flatwoods.

Must mclude project location description. targeted invasive non-native plant species. acreage of infestation. scope of work, method if removal (mechanical herbicides. hand pulling...), project milestones, and replanting species. . The project site includes four areas with invasive non-native vegetation. Area A is located behind the racquetball courts, Area B is located between the parking lot and the open playfield, Area C is located to the north and west of the football field and Area D is the 8-acre natural preserve (see attached site map). These four areas total approximately II-acres. The target invasive non-native plant species located throughout the project site include Brazilian pepper, earleaf acacia, umbrella tree and air potato. This project will be completed one area at a time. First, there will be a follow up treatment to the natural preserve (the City initiated an invasive species control program for this area in 2001), then Areas A, B and C will be treated respectively. Herbicides will be used in all areas. The natural area invasive non-native vegetation will be treated, killed and left in place; however, targeted vegetation in Areas A, B and C will be treated and removed. We will not be planting any new species. f' ( ( Public Lands Grant Program Application - Project Title: Rolling Green (Res ter) Scrub Invas i ve Non-na ti ve Page 3 Plant Removal proj ect Project Narrative Provide any additional information that describes how the proposed project will meet each of the Criterio for Selection noted in the application guidelines. The goal of this project is to remove Brazilian pepper, ear1eaf acacia, Queensland umbrella and air potato from the scrub areas on the Ezell Hester Jr. Community Center and Park property. The park includes four scrub areas, one of which has been designated as a natural preserve. The project location is highly visible to the public. Annual park visitation averages 155,000+. The four scrub areas are located throughout the park property. The estimated cost to remove all invasive non-native vegetation on this park site is $10,000. The City of Boynton Beach Parks Division has $5,000 available for a 50 % match for this project. When the City initiated the invasive control program for the natural preserve in 2001, volunteers were used to remove the invasive vegetation, however this was not effective. We plan to use herbicide methods on all areas for this project and due to the application and technical nature of proper application; herbicide applications are not generally suited to volunteers. The City will utilize contract labor for this project. This project builds upon the established invasive vegetation control program detailed in the Rolling Green (Hester) Scrub Management Plan for the natural preserve. The Parks Division (utilizing resources from Florida Atlantic University's Education Dept. and Palm Beach County Department of Environmental Resources Management) included the Rolling Green (Hester) natural preserve in eight environmental educational tours in 2002. We will continue to include information regarding methods for maintaining and preserving natural areas in future public educational programs. In addition, a display will be placed in the lobby of the Ezell Hester Jr. Community Center to educate the park visitors on the importance of maintaining these precious scrublands.
