Go through gate ($5.00 fee waived before 10:00 am)
Proceed to Volunteer Sign-in Desk – Look for TREEmendous Miami Banners
TREEmendous Miami seeks volunteers to help our efforts to re-establish a tropical maritime forest at the Virginia Key Beach Park, by planting native trees and shrubs in an area that was once dominated by Australian pines. This project will help improve the Biscayne Bay environment for both people and wildlife. Because of continuous heavy coastal development, the dune and forest habitats that once
supported wildlife and maintained water quality in the Bay have been severely diminished. Virginia Key is the largest most important area that we have where we can make a positive change in our community.
Please join us in being a part of this restoration project.
Closed toe shoes, lightweight long pants, long-sleeve shirt and shade hat
Sunscreen and a refillable water container
Shovels, gloves, hard rake and pick axe -- if you have them available to you (we will
have some on hand)
Light refreshments will be supplied.
To sign up and for more details and/or questions, call or email the Program Coordinator at (305) 378-1863 or treemendousmiami@mail.com.
