PINE ROCKLAND DONATION FOR EEL

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

Miami-Dade County is considering the acceptance of a $925,000 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, specifically for 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 potential acquisition. The donation will supplement existing county funds for conservation efforts. The Recreation, Tourism, and Resiliency Committee forwarded this item to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) with a favorable recommendation.
