About the Plant a Tree Program

The Plant a Tree Program is a collaborative effort with the Bureau of Land Management aimed at restoring native ecosystems at the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area. Our mission focuses on revitalizing habitats such as mangroves, salt marshes, and hardwood hammocks to enhance biodiversity and ecological health.
Through planting native species, we aim to restore the natural beauty and ecological balance of this historic site. Our program not only supports environmental restoration but also fosters community engagement and education about the critical role of native plants in sustaining healthy ecosystems.

Why Native Plants Matter

Benefits of Native Plants

The backbone of our local ecosystems

Wildlife Habitat

Native plants provide essential shelter and food for local wildlife, including vital pollinators like bees and butterflies, supporting biodiversity and creating a balanced ecosystem.

Water and Soil Health

These plants improve water quality by reducing runoff and erosion, while enhancing soil fertility and structure, contributing to the long-term health and resilience of the landscape.

Scenic Beauty

Native plants enhance the visual environment with seasonal color and natural beauty, transforming spaces into vibrant, low-maintenance landscapes that enrich the community.

Our Vision for Restoration

Restoration Goals

As the Bureau of Land Management completes the shoreline stabilization construction, we are committed to helping them restore the natural beauty and ecological integrity of the site. Donations will directly fund the planting of native trees and plants in the construction restoration area.

By contributing to this initiative, you are playing a vital role in ensuring the long-term health and sustainability of our local ecosystems. Together, we can cultivate a legacy of ecological resilience and natural splendor that will be cherished for generations to come.
