The Campus &
Community Alliance for North Miami-Dade voted to approve a Florida

University--one of the Alliance partners--has agreed to train
students each semester to be Florida Yard Advisors. These students
will then use their community service hours to teach homeowners in
North Miami-Dade how they can convert their existing landscapes into
Certified Florida Yards.
