With each new development, native vegetation has been sacrificed as Palm Beach County tries to keep up with its ever increasing growth. On June 16, 1992, the County adopted the Unified Land Development Code, through which each new development would have to make an assessment of their on-site vegetation, eradicate all the prohibited species and depending on the size of the parcel of land and the quality of the native vegetation onsite, set aside 25% of the best native upland vegetation into dedicated preserves to be maintained in peretuity by the property owner.
The long term preserve compliance program was set up to assure that the required 25% preserve set asides are being properly maintained and free of prohibited and invasive non-native plant species. This compliance is based on annual inspections with the necessary follow-up as required.
