Green Up this Earth Month!
April Events Promote a Cleaner and Greener Community
Thousands of enviro-friendly volunteers are expected to turn out this month, and residents of Palmetto Bay and neighboring communities are invited to join the effort to make South Florida a cleaner and greener home.
In celebration of Earth Month, local and national conservation groups will sponsor projects throughout Miami Dade – from beach cleanups, to the removal of invasive plant species.
Miami Dade Metrozoo and the Institute for Regional Conservation are hosting a work day, April 10 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Volunteers will be removing invasive exotic plants from the Richmond pine rocklands, Miami-Dade County’s largest remnant of pineland habitat outside of Everglades National Park.

Baynanza 2010 will take place April 17 from 9 a.m. to noon. Each year, hundreds of volunteers from Palmetto Bay, Cutler Bay, Pinecrest and other municipalities participate in beach cleanup events across Miami Dade county.

Biscayne National Park and National Geographic are teaming up for the 2010 BioBlitz, on April 30 and May 1. This event will connect students and the community with scientists in order to count species of every shape, color, and size in Biscayne National Park. The event hopes to promote science education, provide students with access to scientists and celebrate biodiversity. For more information, go to http://ow.ly/1uJ3b
