Cutler Bay schedules volunteer restoration, contractor mobilization for Coastal Ridge Preserve
Summary
Town announced a volunteer restoration event on Nov. 15 and a contractor tree-removal mobilization on Nov. 17 at Coastal Ridge Preserve as part of an invasive-tree removal and restoration effort.
Town staff told the council on Oct. 15 that a volunteer restoration event is planned for Coastal Ridge Preserve on Saturday, Nov. 15, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and that a kickoff meeting with partner agencies will take place Nov. 4.
The town manager said the volunteer event will be coordinated with Coast Academies (a local partner) and will follow a Nov. 4 kickoff meeting involving Miami‑Dade County, South Florida Water Management District, public works, parks and police departments and the contractor. He said contractors are scheduled to mobilize Nov. 17 to begin large-scale invasive-tree removal and that residents should expect significant land clearing at the 8.5-acre site.
Why it matters: the restoration seeks to remove non-native invasive trees and restore native habitat; the scale of removal is large and residents will see visible clearing, so the town is publicizing the schedule and a project sign for the site.
Ending: Staff said the Nov. 4 kickoff, Nov. 15 volunteer restoration and Nov. 17 contractor mobilization are confirmed and that the town will post project signage similar to that used at Legacy Park.
