Environment &
Conservation
Conserving our environmental heritage and preserving the
Island’s quality of life for now and for future generations
is central to the Trust’s Mission.
The Trust plays a leading
role in environmental stewardship in Bermuda, owning more than 250
acres of open space. Many of these areas are made accessible to
the public for recreation and education, including Warwick Pond,
Paget Marsh, Spittal Pond, Gladys Morrell Nature Reserve and Gilbert
Nature Reserve. For responsible development of property by individuals
or businesses, the Trust is supportive of the Bermuda Plan 1992
Planning Statement.
Through collaborative
efforts with the Government Departments of Conservation Services,
Environmental Protection, Parks and Environmental Health, as well
as the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo, Bermuda Audubon Society
and Keep Bermuda Beautiful, the Trust’s Environmental Conservation
Office works on environmental projects, public programmes and issues
of concern to the local community to determine the best course of
action.
The Trust’s Environmental
and Marine Environmental Committees meet frequently on environmental
issues and determine appropriate actions for the Trust. These Committees
work for the protection of the environment through advocacy, research,
education, conservation and information sharing.
