Bergeron Land Development has been awarded the Award of Excellence by the Florida Nursery, Growers and Landscape Association (FNGLA). The 2017 Landscape Award in the category of New Installation – Public/Institutional was awarded in recognition for Port Everglades Southport Turning Notch Project. Bergeron shares the honor with project team members Miller Legg, Earth Balance, The Chappell Group, Terramar Environmental Services, and DeRose Design Consultants.

As part of the Port Everglades Turning Notch Extension, Bergeron Land Development was responsible for replacing almost nine acres of an existing mangrove conservation easement with almost 17 acres of invasive trees and miscellaneous materials into a thriving mangrove wetlands area with approximately 70,000 red and black mangroves and some buffer species trees to complete the area. The project also included a deep channel to allow for manatee access.
