Historic Virginia Key Beach Park Trust is committed to the preservation and ongoing maintenance of the barrier island’s natural eco-systems. The unique plant and endangered animal varieties that converge at Historic Virginia Key Beach Park give testament to some of the oldest surviving flora and fauna species in South Florida.

Committment to Conservation

The park is a sanctuary for many endangered and threatened species, where we work hand-in-hand with researchers, environmental agencies, and organizations to monitor and protect these precious plants and animals. Together, we are preserving the park’s rich biodiversity for future generations.

Forefront of Climate Change

As a historic landmark on Miami’s vulnerable coastline, it stands at the frontline of climate change. Researchers are invited to study the effects of sea level rise and erosion, working to safeguard both the park’s heritage and our future from these growing threats.

Environmental Preservation through Stewardship

From tropical hardwood hammocks to seagrass beds, the park nurtures Miami’s diverse natural habitats. Through beach cleanups and the removal of invasive plants, volunteers actively protect these ecosystems, ensuring the health and beauty of the park’s environment for all to enjoy.
