Volunteer 
Opportunities

Join us in our efforts to remove harmful plastics and other trash from the marine ecosystem.  We will be walking to Virginia Key North Point Beach next to the Virginia Key Mountain Bike Trails. Volunteers of all ages, community groups, tourists, clubs, local and corporate businesses and elected officials around contribute to the success of this program and are essential to keep our beaches and coastline clean. Volunteers can expect to learn about the state of Biscayne Bay and about the impacts of plastic pollution.  

Troublesome plants such as Brazilian Pepper present a complex challenge that demands plenty of resources and long-term attention. One of Outdoor Connections most valuable resources in addressing the invasive plant problem is the dedication of volunteers. Volunteers are expected to learn about invasive plants and their impacts on the island of Virginia Key all while lending a hand in management activities such as prevention, early detection, control, and restoration.

Restoration brings back to life the laands that were once covered with invasive plant species.  Once we've removed invasive plants and the area is treated by the City of Miami's Park Naturalists we organize planting events through out Virginia Key North Point Park. Volunteers can expect to get their hands dirty as they will be assisting restoration efforts.
