Oleta River Walk Project

The Oleta River Walk Project, North Miami Beach

Planning and work on this project has been underway for a number of years, with efforts on removing non native plant and animal species such as the green iguana, Australian Pine, and Burma reed. Restoration efforts of the parks uplands include removing all Australian Pine and to revegetate the area with native vegetation representative of maritime hammock such as Sabal palmetto and Wax myrtle. Two isolated mangrove swamp areas, containing a mix of red, white, and black mangroves, will be restored.

The Miami Blue Chapter of NABA has committed to assisting with this project.
