Volunteer EcoAction Day: A.D. Barnes Nature Center

A monthly volunteer program at A.D. Barnes Nature Center invites participants to take part in hands-on conservation efforts supporting local ecosystems. Held on the fourth Sunday of each month through October 23, 2027, EcoAction Day brings together community members and Miami-Dade County naturalists to help maintain and restore natural areas within the park. The program offers a structured way to engage with environmental stewardship while learning about native habitats. Volunteers assist with activities such as removing invasive plant species, planting and mulching native vegetation and clearing litter from the grounds. Guided by experienced naturalists, the work focuses on preserving the health and biodiversity of the area’s ecosystems. Advance registration is required, and community service hours are available for participants. Volunteers under age 13 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
