Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces wants to connect people with the natural environment any time of the year, focused on resiliency efforts for the conservation and preservation of our county’s most treasured and beautiful parks, beaches, greenway and blueway trails, nature preserves, clean air, and rich history that spans more than nine decades.
Earth Month, celebrated in April, is an opportunity to show our love and commitment to stewardship for our precious outdoor spaces. Join Miami-Dade County Parks in celebrating Earth Month with fun community events and stewardship options taking place throughout the parks system, all month long. There’s something for everyone’s taste, from coastal/park clean-ups to signature festivals with food and music!
A few highlights of Earth Month 2022 include:
- Fruit & Spice Park’s Redland Blues and Barbeque Festival (April 2) and Earth Month Service Day (April 17)
- Deering Estate’s Chef’s Table on the Bay (April 8) and Seafood Festival (April 10)
- Zoo Miami’s Party For The Planet (April 23-24)
- Earth Day Volunteer Beach Cleanups at Crandon Park, Haulover Park, Deering Estate, Homestead Bayfront Park, Pelican Harbor Marina, Chapman Field Park, Black Point Park, East Greynolds Park and Rickenbacker Causeway (April 22).
“I am excited to see all of the opportunities available to our community during Earth Month. The best way to celebrate our planet is to enjoy the nature that surrounds us and our beautiful county parks,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “The Parks Department has put together a full calendar of events and activities that are both fun and educational and will help us deepen our enjoyment and reverence for the great outdoors. I encourage all of our residents to take time to connect with the outdoors throughout April.”
