Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava to unveil Urban Forestry Plan during special tree planting event
MIAMI-DADE ( March 25, 2025 )–
On Thursday, March 27 at 8:00 AM, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava will celebrate the release of the County’s Urban Forestry Plan with a special tree planting event at Tamiami Park.
The Urban Forestry Plan is Miami-Dade’s blueprint to reach the County’s goal of 30% urban tree canopy cover.
At the direction of Mayor Levine Cava and the request of the Board of County Commissioners, Miami-Dade County’s Regulatory and Economic Resources Divisions of Environmental Resources Management and Office of Environmental Risk and Resilience together with the Department of Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces developed the plan to inform residents, businesses, and stakeholders of the state of our urban forests and the challenges they face. Over the past year, community feedback has been incorporated into the report to make it an actionable community-supported plan.
