PINE ROCKLAND DONATION FOR EEL

Recreation, Tourism, and Resiliency Committee · 2026-06-09 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is considering the acceptance of a $925,000.00 donation from the Center for Biological Diversity, Miami Pine Rocklands Coalition, South Florida Wildlands Association, and Tropical Audubon Society. These funds are designated for the management and acquisition of pine rocklands within Miami-Dade County, managed by the Environmentally Endangered Lands (EEL) Program. The EEL Program currently manages over 1,636 acres of pine rocklands and has identified an additional 415 acres for acquisition. The Recreation, Tourism, and Resiliency Committee forwarded this item to the Board with a favorable recommendation. The donation will be deposited into the EEL Management Trust Fund and can be transferred to the EEL Acquisition Trust Fund as needed. The EEL Program Manager, Janet Gil, will monitor the activities.
