Miami-Dade is giving away over 2,500 trees next weekend as part of its long-running Adopt-a-Tree program.

Why it matters: Growing Miami's tree canopy is an effective way to cool down neighborhoods during hot summer months, County Commissioner Marleine Bastien said in a statement.

Zoom in: Residents living in single-family and duplex properties in Miami-Dade can receive up to two free trees at FIU Biscayne Bay Campus in North Miami.

Renters must provide written authorization from the owner to plant the trees.
Pre-registration is now open at miamidade.gov/adoptatree. Expedited adoption offered to veterans and active-duty members with ID.

If you go: July 25 starting at 8:30am.

3000 NE 151st St., North Miami.

What's next: The final 2026 Adopt-a-Tree giveaway is Sept. 13, from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., at Zoo Miami.
