These events, geared for all ages, blended historical reflection with hands-on environmental action, including native tree plantings, dune restorations, Earth Day Storytimes, an Eco-Watch Lecture Series and much more.

The City also celebrated its 45th consecutive year as a Tree City USA and received a prestigious Growth Award for its continued commitment to urban forestry.

Highlights from Boca Raton’s 2025 Earth Month include:

• Hosted more than 30 events and programs held citywide, from educational workshops and eco-fairs to community cleanups and speaker series.
• Collected 1,800 pounds of electronic waste, allowing residents to responsibly dispose of outdated electronics and reduce environmental harm.
• Planted 40 new trees at Countess de Hoernle Park / Spanish River Athletic Facility, helping grow the City’s urban tree canopy and fight climate change.
• Provided 75 free shade trees delivered to residential homes as part of our Tree Drop-Off Program

“We were proud to integrate our Centennial into this year’s Earth Month celebrations,” said Tina Batoh-Jennings, the City’s Sustainability Manager. “It was a powerful reminder that sustainability is not only about protecting our environment today but about shaping the kind of City we want to be for the next 100 years.”
