Since 1945, our members have shared information about successfully raising vegetables and ornamentals without using harsh fertilizers that harm soil and toxic pesticides that disturb ecological balance. We meet the second Monday of each month (except December) at the Zilker Botanical Gardens.
In addition to an educational presentation, there is a question-and-answer session and plenty of informative conversation.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
The Columbia Land Trust conserves and cares for the vital lands, waters, and wildlife of the Columbia River region through sound science and strong relationships.

Citizen Scientist Project engages citizen and professional scientists to monitor and protect resources and share information about Key Biscayne and Virginia Key.
Miami Is Not Plastic is an initiative for businesses and individuals to reduce Single Use Disposable Plastic, unclog our ocean and save the marine life. We host clean-ups and other events, and partner with several organizations in our quest to protect the environment.
We strive to transform communities through education, awareness and responsible practices. Our goal is to inspire local business in the hospitality, parks and marina sector in the Miami area to adopt alternative options to single use disposable plastic.

Friends of the Forest Preserves was founded in 1998 by a small group of concerned citizens. We are now a force of thousands of committed volunteers and members.
