FWC seeks public input on native plant list
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is seeking public input on a draft addendum to the State Wildlife Action Plan. The purpose of this addendum is to incorporate 596 native plant species into the state’s Species of Greatest Conservation Need list. Species listed as SGCN are declining or are at risk of becoming imperiled in the future.
Written comments are being accepted via survey until Dec. 15. If you would like to comment, contact information can be found at MyFWC.com/SWAP.
Florida has the greatest diversity of native plant families in the United States. Native plant species are vital to Florida ecosystems and provide food and shelter to wildlife species. They also provide many benefits to Florida residents, including hurricane protection and water filtration.
Florida’s action plan is a comprehensive, statewide plan for conserving wildlife and natural areas for future generations. The action plan takes an ecosystem approach, focusing on the needs of Florida’s terrestrial, freshwater, estuarine and marine ecosystems that will benefit the most Species of Greatest Conservation Need.
