MANGROVES A
CRUCIAL
PROTECTOR OF
BISCAYNE NATIONAL PARK AND YOUR HOME TOO!
Mangroves are a very special kind of tree, they serve as a filtration system, their roots protect the shore from storm surge and they provide an estuary for young fish. Preserving, protecting and restoring these magical forests is not only important to Biscayne National Park, but to all of us who live in South Florida. Without these trees, our shorelines are at risk from eroding as well as flooding. This effects homes and businesses inland as well as along the coast. Without mangroves our ocean struggles to keep the water fresh clean which effects sealife of all kinds, as well as the fish we eat. Even if you've never been to BiscayneNational Park, keeping it strong and thriving is something we all need to concern ourselves with.
One of these inspiring scientists is Mike Beck. His work is inspiring a new
appreciation for mangroves and other wetlands and their importance to our global environment.

FIRE COULDN'T STOP THIS FAMILY
Neighbors 4 Neighbors would like to thank everyone that came together to help this family in need. After a fire ravaged their home, our partners at CBS 4 helped us spread the word. Soon after The Miami Heat and Walmart jumped into action to help along with many donors like you. With the funds raised the The Mitchell's are able to move back into their home and replace some of the items lost in the fire. They are so grateful and now they can continue their work running a after school kick ball program in Florida City. Nothing warms our hearts more than those who give back even when they have nothing. More proof that when Neighbors come together the impact can change lives.
