PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. — A small area in Palm Beach County turned green from a landscaping project is expected grow for decades to help our local environment. The mass planting brought hundreds of volunteers, leaders in our community and students to Lake Worth Lagoon. 'All around the state of Florida we are declining in natural habitats so in these estuaries are important for us to rebuild that habitat,' Kylie Ariotti, of Palm Beach County's Environmental Resource Management, said. What started as an idea to restore the habitat of Palm Beach County's largest estuary in the Lake Worth Lagoon, got the green light and plenty of green to go with it—over 4,000 mangrove trees and grass plugs to be exact.
