Peggy has more than 19 years of professional environmental experience in Southwest Florida. Her experience includes working on projects from the due diligence phase, through environmental permitting, to the post-permitting/monitoring phase. Peggy’s areas of expertise are vegetation mapping (including identifying natural communities and summarizing their native and exotic/invasive vegetation), wetland delineations, protected species surveys (general and species-specific), and environmental resource permitting. She prepares preserve management/mitigation plans to ensure the preserve areas are restored and maintained as natural communities for the benefit of wildlife (including protected species) and the public (if appropriate). The preserve management/mitigation plans include an exotic/invasive vegetation control plan; restoration/enhancement (of vegetation communities or to hydrology) activities; vegetation monitoring methodologies; wildlife monitoring protocols and reporting; and a schedule to implement the components of the management plan.
