Help us forge ahead with this exciting Oleta parkland project at the corner of 163rd and Biscayne (next to the shell station). Our goal is to significantly increase biodiversity via extensive native plantings, while creating healthy butterfly-bee-bird gardens - replacing previously invasive-filled spaces... More Details: Drop off site for students is the shopping center behind the Oleta site (Paquitos restaurant as landmark in RK shopping center on Biscayne) and parking is also available there. Please wear solid shoes/sun protective clothes/hat/ sunscreen...and we would appreciate if you bring a REFILLABLE WATER BOTTLE and/or cup/tumbler for Starbucks coffee + cold water.
