2025 Sand Pine and Hardwood Eradication Services

As part of the District’s program to restore natural communities, offsite pine and competing native hardwood species must be managed and removed from upland areas that are being restored to longleaf pine and wiregrass. The offsite pine and various native hardwoods compete with the longleaf pine for nutrients and sunlight and allowing these trees to remain on site will cause adverse competition for the longleaf pine trees and understory vegetation and would adversely impact the District’s efforts to restore this natural community. The Work is the eradication of sand pine and hardwood trees occurring within longleaf pine habitat restoration sites totaling approximately 1,406 acres. See attached ITB for full details.
