Connect to Protect Network: help us restore South Florida's Pine Rockland

The Connect to Protect Network, project of Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, enlists South Florida residents (Miami & The Keys) to plant native plants in order to connect the few remaining isolated fragments of pine rockland -- a globally critically imperiled plant community. Planted areas can include private yards, rights-of-way, and public lands such as schools or community parks.

Membership benefits:
- Free plants! New members have the opportunity to receive a free "pine rockland starter kit," of 5 plants (10 for schools) grown by native plant experts in Fairchild's nursery.
- Yard sign
- Monthly Newsletter
- Member meetings
- Citizen Science opportunities
- Helping your neighbors

Joining Connect to Protect is free and easy! We only require that you are located in Miami-Dade or Monroe County, have an email address, and can maintain pine rockland plants on your property for at least two years.

If you would like to join the network but do not own property, you are welcome to join as an Email-only member.

To join, simply send an email to ConnectToProtect@fairchildgarden.org, and provide your name, address, and telephone.

Schools and businesses, please provide the name of your institution and the name and email for at least one additional coworker who supports joining the network.
