Adopt a Tree in Miami Dade County
Miami-Dade County takes saving the environment seriously. And to prove this, the Miami-Dade County Department of Environmental Resources (DERM) offers an Adopt-a-Tree Program several times throughout the year. The best part of the DERM Adopt-a-Tree Program is that adopting a tree is free, so it doesn't cost you a lot of money to help save the environment. It just costs you a little time to go and pick up your tree at one of the Adopt-a-Tree events.
