The primary xeric pinelands of peninsular Florida are longleaf pine/turkey oak sandhills and sand pine scrub. Their management on public lands is largely confined to prescribed burning to maintain fire climax status of the vegetation. The regulation of large-scale developments on private land has stimulated interest in preserve design and management. The suite of techniques used to solve conflict between natural system preservation and development includes: (1) conservation set asides (preserves) on site; (2) habitat restoration; (3) purchase and dedication of off-site preserves; (4) species relocation; and (5) wildlife resource mitigation fund.
