Trees and plants are an integral and vital part of the earth’s ecosystem and provide us with countless benefits. They serve as a natural abatement to noise pollution; they camouflage unsightly views; they provide shelter for birds and wildlife; and they maintain and improve the aesthetic quality of the Village of Pinecrest, thereby promoting the health and general welfare of the citizenry.
In order to enhance the appearance of the community and improve the overall quality of life for its residents, the Village of Pinecrest began the Adopt-a-Tree Program, which has been developed in response to resident inquiries about the planting of trees along neighborhood residential streets throughout the Village.
This innovative program provides Pinecrest residents with an opportunity to purchase trees at low bid prices and encourages residents to plant trees in the public right-of-way (swale) in front of their home or on their private property in order to increase the overall canopy of the Village.
In addition, Miami-Dade County also has an Adopt-a-Tree Program that provides residents up to two trees per year.
