Celebrate Earth Day throughout the month of April with Miami-Dade Parks, where every day is Earth Day!
Celebrations in honor of our precious lands and oceans will take place at various parks and nature centers throughout the County.
Events range from a Homeschool Enrichment program at A.D. Barnes Park from April 9-30, to Hiking at Hattie Bauer Nature Preserve on April 27, to a Sunrise Kayak Excursion at Crandon Park on April 29, as well as several volunteer coastal and park cleanups.
Miami-Dade Parks’ Earth Day and Arbor Day main event will be on Saturday, April 26, 2025, 10 a.m. – 1 p.m., at Larry and Penny Thompson Memorial Park and Campground.
Did you know that outside of Everglades National Park, Miami-Dade County has the greatest acreage of pine rockland in the world? Volunteer to restore the footprint of the globally imperiled Pine Rockland habitat at Larry and Penny Thompson Memorial Park and Campground, the focus of this year’s Earth and Arbor Day celebration.
The event will feature a variety of environmental education and conservation activities, including an Eco Village with nature-based exhibits, a fun zone with games and activities, a community tree and plant give-a-way, a trail and shoreline cleanup around the park, giveaways, painting activities, and expanding the footprint of our pine rockland by planting native plants.
