Miami-Dade County Parks is leading the way with fun, family-friendly Earth Month activities and events all month long, including plenty of park stewardship options. There’s something for everyone’s taste, from coastal/park clean-ups and nature treks to campfire toasts and clear kayaking, and much, much more!

"As Miami-Dade County residents, we can all take pride in our community's natural beauty and we should work together to ensure we preserve and protect it for generations to come," said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. "This year, Miami-Dade County Parks Department is taking its celebration of Earth Month directly to residents with a full calendar of fun (and COVID-safe) activities and events, and I encourage all our residents to take advantage and connect with the outdoors throughout April."
