Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park: Unit Management Plan

This plan serves as the basic statement of policy and direction for the management of Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park as a unit of Florida’s state park system. It identifies the objectives, criteria and standards that guide each aspect of preserve administration, and sets forth the specific measures that will be implemented to meet management objectives. The plan consists of two interrelated components. Each component corresponds to a particular aspect of the administration of the preserve. The resource management component provides a detailed inventory and assessment of the natural and the cultural resources of the preserve. Resource management problems and needs are identified, and specific management objectives are established for each resource type. This component provides guidance on the application of such measures as prescribed burning, exotic species removal and restoration of natural conditions. The land use component is the recreational resource allocation plan for the unit. Based on considerations such as access, population and adjacent land uses, an optimum allocation of the physical space of the preserve is made, locating use areas and proposing types of facilities and volume of use to be provided. The plan is intended to meet the requirements of Sections 253.034 and 259.032, Florida Statutes, Chapter 18-2, Florida Administrative Code, and intended to be consistent with the State Lands Management Plan. With approval, this management plan will replace the 1998 approved plan.本规划为基西米草原保护区州立公园（Kissimmee Prairie Preserve State Park）作为佛罗里达州州立公园系统组成单元的管理工作，提供政策与方向的基本纲领。其明确了指导保护区管理各环节的目标、准则与标准，并阐明了为达成管理目标所需落实的具体举措。本规划包含两个相互关联的组成部分，各部分分别对应保护区管理的特定维度。资源管理部分将对保护区的自然资源与文化资源开展详细清查与评估，梳理资源管理面临的问题与需求，并针对每一类资源制定具体管理目标。该部分将为计划火烧（prescribed burning）、外来物种清除以及自然环境修复等举措的实施提供指导。土地利用部分则为本园区制定休闲资源分配方案，基于可达性、人口规模与周边土地利用等因素，对保护区的实体空间进行最优配置，划定使用区域，并提出配套设施类型与使用容量规划。 本规划旨在符合《佛罗里达州法典》第253.034条、第259.032条以及《佛罗里达州行政法典》第18-2章的相关要求，并与州属土地管理规划保持一致。本管理规划获批后，将取代1998年获批的原有规划。
