Pre-register to adopt a tree May 18

Since its inception in 2001, the Adopt-a-Tree Program has distributed more than 246,939 trees to county residents.

The first Adopt-A-Tree event of the season will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. or until trees run out Sunday, May 18 at Miami Central Senior High School, 1781 NW 95th Street, Miami, FL 33147. Trees are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Pre-registration does not guarantee tree availability but does verify eligibility.

Pre-registration for this event is now open. For the May 18 event, the planned tree selection includes: Florida Keys Blackbead, Grafted Carambola, Gumbo, Limbo, Jaboticaba, Joewood, Locustberry, Malay Apple, Paradise Tree, Pigeon Plum, Red Mulberry, Red Stopper and Soursop. 

Adopt a tree and bring home a furry friend with pet adoptions onsite.

Exchange up to two non-high-efficiency showerheads and three incandescent light bulbs for high-efficiency showerheads and energy-efficient light emitting diode (LED) light bulbs free while supplies last.
