The Los Cabos municipal government is calling on residents and community groups to join a reforestation event on Monday, June 9 in the inland town of Miraflores. Volunteers will plant native vegetation starting at 8:00 a.m. at the Subdelegación El Ranchito.
The Dirección General de Ecología y Medio Ambiente (General Directorate of Ecology and Environment) of the XV Ayuntamiento de Los Cabos organized the event to mark World Environment Day. The Miraflores Ecology Coordination office is leading on-the-ground logistics.
What to Know Before You Go
Miraflores sits about 60 kilometers northeast of San José del Cabo, roughly a 45-minute drive along the inland highway toward the Sierra de la Laguna mountains. The small town, founded in the early 1700s, is known for its leatherwork shops, organic farms, and access to nearby hot springs.
The reforestation day is open to the public. The municipal government has invited students, families, and civil organizations to take part in planting native species aimed at strengthening the area’s green spaces. No registration fee or special equipment has been announced.
Part of a Broader Environmental Push
The event falls under a broader municipal environmental agenda led by Ecology Director Jorge Armando López Espinoza. Los Cabos officials say the initiative is designed to promote conservation awareness and expand green cover across the municipality.
Miraflores has been a focus of reforestation work in recent years. In a previous round of planting, Thalía de la Peña, then serving as Coordinator of Ecology and Environment for the Miraflores delegation, described a process of identifying neighborhoods that needed improved green spaces before launching planting campaigns. Cleanup days preceded those earlier efforts to prepare the sites.
The June 9 event continues that pattern of community-driven environmental action in the rural delegations outside the tourist corridor. Los Cabos officials said the initiative is part of the municipality’s commitment to environmental education and ecosystem protection for current and future generations.
