Does state Law require Australian Pines be replaced with indigenous plants?
It is the intent of the Legislature to partially restore the original character of the original domain of Florida by planting native trees on state lands, and to this end all state lands shall have a portion of such lands designated for indigenous trees. Planting only a portion of Fort Taylor with indigenous trees fulfills the mandate. No additional pines need to be removed to accommodate these indigenous trees since they have already been planted in several areas of the park with many more treeless areas still unplanted. In addition, the statute further states, that if the primary managing agency (the state) determines that any state lands are unsuitable for this purpose, such lands shall be exempt from this requirement.
