With talk of peak oil imminent, I thought it was well timed that the City of Miami is hosting a fruit tree giveaway to City residents tomorrow, Saturday June 12th. Considering the increased expense of shipping agricultural products across the world my bet is that we’ll need to rely on sources of food close to home, and how much closer can you get than a fruit tree in your own yard!
The Second Fruit Tree Giveaway is part of the City’s Green Miami Campaign.
The vision for the Green Miami Campaign is to restore and enhance the City of Miami’s tree canopy into a thriving urban forest that provides multiple aesthetic and environmental benefits. The long-term goal is to increase the City of Miami’s tree canopy to 30% by 2017.
Very cool.There are 700 mango, lychee, tamarind, and avocado trees to choose from, so be sure to come early. The event takes place from 8 am. till noon at Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, 900 SW 26th Road.
Amigos del Hold the Line! Join us for a celebration of victory!
Come celebrate the Hold the Line Campaign’s latest victories at Biscayne Nature Center on Sunday, June 28th at 1:00 p.m. Thanks to our diligent community and ferocious attorneys, our efforts to move the Urban Development Boundary are succeeding!
It’s going to be a blast, so don’t miss out on this opportunity to rejoice and reclaim our Miami. Join us for free food, music and fun right on the beach! Don’t forget your bathing suits to cool down after lunch!
Bring your friends and family and join us for a day of fun in the sun!
