Pine Rockland Project:
The
Institute for Regional Conservation’s Ecological Restoration Volunteer Program
is seeking volunteers to help restore the pine rockland habitat in Miami-Dade
County. The pine rockland habitat in Miami-Dade County has been reduced to less
than two percent of its original extent by development. Only a few forest
fragments remain. These forest fragments are home to many rare, threatened and
endangered plant and animal species that are nearing extinction. IRC’s goal is
to restore 50 to 60 acres of this habitat by engaging community volunteers to
help with exotic plant removal and other restoration activities. Volunteers
will also learn about the importance of this ecosystem from a knowledgeable IRC
biologist. (15-20 volunteers)
