Volunteers can help restore the dunes at 7th Street in South Beach on Saturday, Nov. 14, from 9 a.m. to noon, the City of Miami Beach said on X Monday. The session is the first of five community events in Surfrider Miami’s MB Rising Above Dune Restoration Project, according to the city’s post.

At this first event, volunteers will pull out non-native plants to get the dunes ready for future native plantings, the city said.

The details come from the city’s post, which Red Sidewalks has not independently verified. The post did not give dates for the other four sessions.
