Miami-Dade County Parks celebrates Earth Month throughout April

Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces is all about connecting people with the natural environment any time of the year, focused on resiliency efforts for the conservation and preservation of our County's most treasured and beautiful parks, beaches, greenway and blueway trails, nature preserves, clean air, and rich history that spans more than nine decades.

Earth Month, celebrated in April, is an opportunity to show our love and commitment to the care of our precious outdoor spaces. Join Miami-Dade County Parks in celebrating Earth Month with fun community events and volunteer opportunities taking place throughout the parks system all month long. There's something for everyone's taste, from coastal/park clean-ups to signature festivals with food and music.
