Historic Virginia Key Beach Park - Invasive Species Removal

This historic park holds an important place in Miami’s history, as it was the only beach designated for African Americans during segregation. It hosted family reunions, dances, and community gatherings. Today, it remains a vital green space, offering recreation while helping to combat urban heat and the effects of climate change.

We will be removing invasive plants to make way for native vegetation that will help protect the dune system, increase biodiversity, and protect Miami communities.

A huge thank-you to our partner, Seatrees, for their continued support in helping us restore and protect coastal ecosystems like HVKBP.
