Native Flags is an urban reforestation project created by Miami artist Xavier Cortada to help restore native habitats for plants and animals across Miami-Dade County. This collaborative eco-art effort is presented by The Reclamation Project at the Miami Science Museum. Participants will be asked to plant the sapling of a native tree and its corresponding flag in their yard and encourage their neighbors to do the same. By doing so, residents across the county will reclaim land for native trees displaced long ago by development.
