2012 Annual Report

OUR MISSION The CREW Land & Water Trust is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of the water resources and natural com-munities in and around the Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed (CREW). The Trust was established in 1989 to coordi-nate the land acquisition, land management, and public use of the 60,000-acre CREW Project. The CREW Project spans Lee and Collier Counties and contains the largest undisturbed watershed in Southwest Florida. CREW lands provide aquifer recharge, water storage, natural flood control, wildlife protection, and public recreation in an unspoiled environment.

From the Chairman… The unique Corkscrew Regional Ecosystem Watershed (CREW) Land & Water Trust partner-ship formed 23 years ago through the leadership of the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), National Audubon Corkscrew Sanctuary, local land owners within and adja-cent to the CREW boundaries, regional environmental and civic leaders, Lee and Collier County Governments and the Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission (FWC) has demonstrated that “public – private partnerships” can work when they provide a synergy that exceeds any

single entity’s capacity for acquisition, management, public use and protection of lands purchased by the public for the pub-lic interests. The SFWMD, after successfully purchasing almost half of the original CREW lands, has had to concentrate on purchasing lands in the Southern CREW as the U.S. Corps of Engineers’ first keystone public works initiative to solving flood-ing in Bonita Springs by purchasing floodplain land rather than digging drainage canals. At the same time its land acquisition funds for the lands within the original CREW boundaries have been largely directed to Everglades Restoration projects. Of critical importance during this time has been Lee County’s Conservation 20/20 Land program purchase of CREW in-holding properties and the Collier County Lands program purchases (especially the Pepper Ranch and Starnes properties). We must continue to focus on the purchase of the balance of lands in the CREW boundaries and the adjacent critical Edison Farms land. These are important not only to sustain effective management but to assure critical water supply and quality of water delivered to Estero Bay and the Collier estuaries. Protecting these areas helps to sustain the phenomenal representa-tion of endangered, threatened and diverse wildlife and flora that makes Southwest Florida truly unique. At no time in recent history have places like the lands in and around the CREW been more important for water supply, storage and ecological sustainability or more valued as green space that drives Southwest Florida tourism and sustains the quality of our rivers, creeks, and bays. It is valued by people who seek the deep stress-relieving environment by immersing themselves along the trails in the nature of CREW. The large array of educational and recreational experiences the CREW Trust provides for visitors has grown significantly through the years. The partnership services agreement the SFWMD has with the CREW Trust engages the Trust staff and its volunteers to originate, coordinate, and implement public outreach, educational programming, public use, site based re-search and provide assistance with land management in collaboration with the SFWMD staff and partners on CREW lands. The performance contract agreement is cost saving for the SFWMD. The diverse members of the CREW Board of Trustees and the CREW Executive Committee have been exemplary in their participation and leadership in growing the CREW Trust as well as engaging in advocating for sound balanced solutions that assure a positive future for the CREW lands and water. CREW volunteers continue to grow in their membership and provide an invaluable contribution to creating new initiatives, technical assistance, and leadership on trails, maintenance, and educational program support. CREW is blessed to have two terrific, dynamic staff members who are exceptional at providing expanding programs and out-

reach with the help of interns and volunteers who work and display the energy and creativity that equates to many more staff required in other organizations. Brenda Brooks, Executive Director, has provided dynamic leadership in efficiently managing the CREW Trust, linking with partners, organizations, and people throughout SW Florida and beyond, and speaking on behalf of the Trust before local governments. Brenda works with Trustee committees and has been heavily engaged with the fund raising events. The CREW Concert was a success this year and will grow again in 2013 as memberships in the Trust also grow. We hope each of you will engage in our goal to recruit at least one new member to the CREW Trust this coming year. Deb Hanson, Environmental Education Specialist, has put CREW everywhere on the internet and social networks. The K-12 programs have been strong despite cuts in funding for school field trips (we are seeking individuals and organizations who are willing to sponsor a field trip bus/driver, sub teacher for one to two classes to CREW for the day – let Deb know if you can help). Check the website and Facebook for the schedule of trail walks, moonlight walks, stargazing events with an astronomer and other member events. Deb’s latest idea to connect people to CREW is the Strolling Science Seminar series. These are scholarly walks with expert leaders and informal interaction on topics like bats, butterflies & dragonflies, panthers, evolution, and exotic plants and animals. Camping, horseback riding, and limited hunting activities also continue to attract participants in the core of CREW lands. The Trust is working with SFWMD staff and the City of Bonita Springs to develop a recreation plan for Southern CREW that will expand out-door recreation and wildlife watching opportunities. This will provide a connector for urban public access to CREW lands. We must thank Commissioner Ray Judah who was a founding member of the CREW Trust and has served in leadership roles as Chairman, and Executive Board member since its inception. Ray has consistently given time, knowledge, and leadership to the CREW Trust over the past 24 years. His efforts in fund-raising - including initiating our largest event, the CREW Concert, insight to policy advocacy, and enthusiastic participation in meetings and events, have been invaluable. Ray, you have our deepest gratitude for your service, leadership, and the difference you have made in making the CREW Trust vision grow in reality. Thanks to each of you as members, volunteers, board members, staff and visitors, as well as our partners for sustaining a truly ef-fective public-private partnership. Let’s keep CREW growing… see you on the trails! Respectfully, Bill Hammond Ph.D., Chairman of the CREW Trust Board

Environmental Education and Public Outreach

Trail Use and Education The CREW Trust works diligently each year to provide first rate environ-mental education programs for all ages. Now that the CREW project has three trail systems open to the public in different locations, it is a greater challenge to maintain trails, design and lead programs, and manage all the marketing, registrations, and the follow-up necessary to sustain quality experiences for our visitors to CREW. We are extremely grateful to have competent volunteers to help lead guided walks and assist with school trips and other programs. Trail use during FY2012 reached an all-time high of 8,635 people (excluding hikers and bikers at Bird Rookery Swamp where we don’t have a way to accurately account for independent public use). Our education partnerships continue to grow with Lee and Collier County Schools, FGCU, private and home school students, and adult leadership and busi-ness groups. Our new Strolling Science Seminar series for adults was a huge hit and was sponsored in part by a $1367 public outreach grant from the CHNEP. We hosted a total of 173 trail-based events during FY12—averaging 25 events per month during the busy winter months—making the trails a destination of choice in SW Florida.

Offsite Outreach - 23, 017 people reached Our offsite outreach increased 65% in FY 2012. We reached 23,017 peo-ple at various area events and festivals as well as in smaller community presentations. We reached out to folks through displays and presenta-tions at Collier County Teacher Workshops, Estero Island Historical Soci-ety, Ding Darling Days, Six Mile Cypress Slough, Charlotte Harbor Nature Festival, Burrowing Owl Festival, Earth Day at Koreshan State Historic Site, Wings Over Water at Harns Marsh, the Bonita East Group, Florida Panther Festival, Barefoot Beach Lecture Series, Bonita Springs Rotary, Edison University STEM Fair, FGCU Community Engagement Day, Naples Zoo Earth Day, Immokalee Balloon Festival, Southwest Florida Alz-heimer’s’ Support Group, Hands Across the Sand and CHNEP Conserva-tion Lands Conference.

Volunteers - 3,340 hours logged Our volunteers are some of the best in the business. We’ve been fortunate to have highly qualified and talented people walk through our doors and ask how they can help CREW. They work hard assisting with hikes and field trips, maintaining trails, treating and removing exotic plants, cleaning roadsides, designing programs, working in the office, and helping with our many special events. These generous folks donated a record 3,340 hours of their time, talent, and experience to CREW during FY2012. The dollar value of their time adds up to $71,342 worth of time & talent donated to fulfill the mis-sion of the CREW Trust – well worth their weight in gold!

We increased our special events offerings this year to include more family outings like our Star-gazing and Story-telling family literacy night and a S’mores & More campfire circle. We also hosted two geocaching events and our first Members-only Wine & Cheese Social. In addition, we held our 5th annual benefit concert and silent auction, “A Musical Night With Nature” at Riverside Park in Bonita Springs, raising $7356 for the CREW Trust. The 10th annual CREW Wildflower Festival in late March brought about 235 people to the Cypress Dome Trails. - by Deb Hanson, CREW Trust Environmental Education Specialist

Fish and Wildlife Management

Land Management In April 2012 the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) hired Joe Bozzo as its new Land Manager for CREW. Joe comes to the SFWMD from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) where he was a wildlife biologist for 21 years. He is very familiar with CREW, having been the first biologist assigned to the area by FWC back in 1995. Joe wants to con-tinue the excellent land management program that previous land managers have developed.

The SFWMD along with its partners—FWC, CREW Land & Water Trust, Florida Forest Service and Collier County—burned 2,324 acres during the 2012 fiscal year. Most of the burning occurred in the pinelands of the southern CREW area, Cork-screw Marsh and Bird Rookery Swamp. Treatments to control exotic plants continued throughout CREW with contract applicators cov-ering 4,545 acres during the last fiscal year. Ap-plicators spent most of their resources on Me-laleuca and Brazilian pepper in southern CREW and Lygodium (Old world climbing fern) in Bird Rookery swamp. Exotic grasses and ferns con-tinue to be a management challenge. The SFWMD was given management responsibility for the 625 acre Lake Trafford Spoil site this past summer. An initial exotic plant treatment was conducted in late August on the 118 acres of natural area that had not received any spoil. — by Joe Bozzo, SFWMD

Vegetation Monitoring The CREW Wildlife and Environmental Area (WEA) photo monitoring program established by the CREW Trust and FWC staff in 2005 has continued and was recently expanded to include the Cypress Dome trails. Biannual photo monitoring is conducted at each of the following locations: 8 points at Corkscrew Marsh, 5 points at the Cypress Dome trails, and 7 points in southern Flint Pen. In the coming year, the monitoring will be expanded to north Flint Pen (north of Sand Road). Photo monitoring is an accurate visual barometer over time of land management activities such as prescribed fire and the treatment of exotic vegetation. Wildlife Monitoring and Surveying The mourning dove banding program at CREW WEA is part of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser-vice (USFWS) National Mourning Dove Strategic Harvest Management Plan. USFWS uses banding as indices to determine nationwide mourning dove populations and movement. To assist the USFWS band recovery program, 35 mourning doves from CREW WEA were banded from mid-July through mid-August by the CREW biologist, the SFWMD land manager, and FWC volunteers. Doves are sexed and aged if possible and then the leg of the dove is banded with numbered bands. Data are then provided to the FWC banding coordinator to compile and return to the USFWS. Public are encouraged to report banding numbers to the U.S. Geological Survey Bird Banding Laboratory if a banded dove is recovered. In addition to banding doves, bobwhite quail auditory point counts were continued as a method of estab-lishing a baseline of quail presence at CREW. Quail surveys were conducted from mid-April through mid-July at the Corkscrew

Marsh trails (8 points), the Cypress Dome trails (7 points), and in southern Flint Pen (12 points). Wading bird nesting surveys (both aerial and ground) are being designed for implementa-tion from December 2012 – late June 2013. Surveys will allow biologists to identify nesting wading bird species and their nests on the CREW WEA. FWC Panther Captures From January-February 2012, FWC panther biologists from the Naples FWC office spent a total of 12 days capturing panthers on CREW and adjacent lands, including the Fort Myers Regional Airport mitigation property and Panther Island Mitigation Bank owned by National Audubon Society. Three panthers were captured: FP 197 (4 year old male), FP 198 (4 year old female), and FP 159 (10 year old male, recollar). FP 197 and FP 159 were captured on the airport mitigation property, and FP 198 was captured on Panther Island Mitigation Bank. Bird Rookery Swamp, Flint Pen, and the CREW Marsh/Cypress Dome areas were surveyed, but no panthers were captured in these areas this year. Game Harvest and Surveys During the 2011-12 CREW hunting

season, hunters harvested 3 white-tailed deer, 3 female hogs, 60 snipe, 108 doves, 1 rabbit, 3 gray squirrels, and 5 turkeys. A total of 399 hunter days of pressure were recorded, the highest since CREW WEA opened in 1998. A method of indexing of white-tailed deer populations at CREW is also being developed. To make informed management decisions about deer popula-tions and quota numbers, it is important to establish an index of white-tailed deer populations. Three methods will be tested and compared to determine a viable combination: game cameras, track counts, and spotlight surveys. Cameras were deployed in Corkscrew Marsh in 2012 and a tire drag was constructed to smooth sandy roads in Flint Pen to perform track counts. Testing is in the preliminary stages, and by 2013 FWC should have a method to monitor deer populations on the CREW WEA.

Intern Program at CREW FWC, along with the CREW Trust and the SFMWD, continued their partnership with Florida Gulf Coast University professors and students this fiscal year. Volunteers spent 193 staff hours assisting the FWC biologist at CREW with wildlife-related activities. FWC has had 5 in-terns this fiscal year plus 2 additional CREW Trust interns also assisted with wildlife surveys. Our partnership with FGCU is critical to expose students to the wildlife field and in return ob-tain assistance with projects on the WEA. Database Management FWC employee, Brittany Smith is building a CREW WEA historical biological database to estab-lish baselines, compare trends, and potentially analyze these data statistically. Brittany re-cently completed the photo monitoring database and comparison photos from the past 7 years. FWC Law Enforcement (LE), including canine officer Felix Collazo, continues to monitor and enforce the rules and regulations of the CREW WEA. We are pleased to work with such a pro-fessional and hard working LE team. - by Kathleen Smith, FWC CREW biologist
