Celebrate Earth Month at

Broward County Parks!

Every day is Earth Day at Broward County Parks! From EcoAction Days where people can volunteer to help remove trash and plant native plants to mitigation programs that restore and protect our wetland areas in our parks, there are so many ways we can positively impact our community and our world. Broward County Parks is often the last line of environmental defense for conservation and preservation. Join us on Earth Day on April 22 at Fern Forest Nature Center for an Earth Day Wetland Restoration Hike. Visit our Website at Broward.org/Parks to learn more about our unique parks and programs. This is Your Park, Your Way!
