El Portal Community Meeting

Join us for the El Portal Community Meeting on Saturday, December 14th at 11 am at Village Hall. We encourage residents to share their feedback and ideas on proposed green infrastructure designs. Your input is essential in shaping a sustainable and resilient future for El Portal.

What is Green Infrastructure? 

Our communities can be redesigned to work with nature, providing flood protection, shade, habitat, water filtration, and green space. This is called "green infrastructure", which falls under a larger umbrella of nature based solutions (NBS). Some examples of green infrastructure solutions include:

• Living shorelines and streets
• Rain gardens
• Wetlands
• Urban forests

By implementing green infrastructure, we can manage climate risk and enhance quality of life for all who live in Miami-Dade. Miami Waterkeeper, in collaboration with community partners, is investigating green infrastructure opportunities in Miami-Dade County’s built environment.
