Miami Waterkeeper is proud to partner with the City of Miami Parks and Recreation to offer monthly public habitat restoration events! This month, we’re teaming up with our amazing friends at Coastlove, a nonprofit on a mission to tackle the ocean plastic and coastal degradation crisis. Together, we’re combining forces to take action, share knowledge, and create lasting change. We can’t wait to work alongside you to restore and protect our beautiful parks and natural habitats—let’s make a difference together!
Volunteer Day Main Tasks:
Tasks may vary depending on the needs of the habitat on the day of the event
- Removing invasive plants such as Scaevola and Sansevieria sp.
- Planting native species to restore and enhance biodiversity
- Hauling debris across uneven, sloped ground
- Using gardening tools such as loppers, hand clippers, and spading forks
