The Reclamation Project at the Miami Science Museum is a participatory eco-art project developed by Miami artist Xavier Cortadato help
restore native habitats for plants and animals across our community.
Urban Eco-art: Native Flags
Participants plant a native tree and the green project flag in their
yard and encourage their neighbors to do the same. Together, they'll help rebuild our native
tree canopy one yard at a time.
Coastal Eco-art: Mangroves
For a few months, mangrove seedlings in clear, water-filled cups will “reclaim” the coastal lands where they thrived just a few decades ago. Afterwards, volunteers will plant
the seedlings along Biscayne Bay, regrowing ecosystems above and
below the water line.
