Annual Tree Summit

March 27th, 2013

The 7th annual tree summit was a great opportunity for non-for profits, government agencies, elected officials, and public and private sectors in general to get together in order to ratify our support for sustainable initiatives and to celebrate the continuation in promoting a healthy urban forest within our city.

Service Learning with CITIZENS

Volunteering and Learning about our Unique South Florida Ecosystems

Did you know that Miami-Dade County’s urban canopy stands at a dismal 12%, with some areas  around the County only hosting 1 to 3% coverage? The national average for urban canopies stands at 33%, with 45% coverage being optimal. CITIZENS, along with its many partners, including volunteers like you, is expanding our urban forest. CITIZENS' Urban Greening and Community Forestry is targeting the areas with the lowest tree canopy, and allowing residents to adopt trees for their communities.

If you are interested in learning more about the Urban Greening program and the Neighbors Replanting Neighborhoods Initiative, and how to bring this latter into your community click here.

To learn about our urban forest and our unique ecosystems, like Virginia Key, browse through our site. CITIZENS is committed to providing environmental education to all of south Florida.
