Join our habitat-care collaborative to enhance coastal habitat at Haulover Park. MUVE is excited to work alongside Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, Miami Beach Botanical Garden, and Miami-Dade County’s Natural Area Management Division (NAM) to care for our critical coastal habitats through nature-based volunteerism. On Tuesday, April 18, 2023, we will manage hard wood encroachment in the dune habitat by pruning and removing sea grapes and coco plum trees as they outcompete critical dune species. All tools and materials will be provided. We recommend a reusable water bottle, close-toed shoes, sun and bug protection, and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty!
