9-17-24 Volunteers Transform Sirenia Vista Park
as part of the City Reforestation Project
On Saturday, Aug. 24, volunteers from Bishop Verot High School, Future Forestry, and the local community came together at Sirenia Vista Park, planting 100 trees as part of the City’s Urban Parks and Greenspace Reforestation Project.
This initiative, supported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and Forest Service, through the Arbor Day Foundation, is a key component of Cape Coral’s efforts to expand the urban canopy where it is needed most.
In a few weeks, the project will continue with the planting of an additional 77 larger trees by a contractor, further enhancing Sirenia Vista Park and providing lasting environmental and social benefits to the community. The City’s reforestation project aims to beautify parks and greenspaces, mitigate extreme heat, improve air quality, and promote overall health and well-being for Cape Coral residents.
“We’re thrilled to see the community come together as part of this generational change to our city’s urban tree canopy,” said City Arborist Omar Leon. “These trees will not only beautify our parks but will also provide shade, improve air quality, and offer a sense of well-being to our residents for generations to come.”
Cape Coral is committed to expanding its urban forestry efforts, with plans to hold workshops and volunteer tree-planting days each year to foster broad community engagement. Funding for this project provided by the Inflation Reduction Act and the USDA Forest Service, Urban and Community Forestry Program in partnership with Arbor Day Foundation’s Community Roots Program.
