SCOPE OF SERVICES
This Amendment provides for completion of a detailed restoration plan for three (Earman Island,
Duckhead Island, and Hogshead Island) of the Lost Tree Islands as per permitting responses
provided to FDEP, and for restoration of approximately six acres currently covered by Australian

existing U.S. Fish & Wildlife grant.
A brief description of the scope of services is provided below:

the cleared areas, planting specifications for creating the selected plant communities, and a
proposed recreational plan for the three islands.
