Daniels’ team set to securing and salvaging foliage on the Preserve, immedi-ately after the passage of the storm, then on Monday, August 29th, turned their sights on assisting where they could in the community to clean up the vast array of uprooted and battered foliage surrounding businesses and homes.

The ‘chain gang’ as Mark jokingly referred to the group, armed with all the necessary power tools of the Nature Preserve trade, began their clean up at the Haynes Library, in collaboration with a local government cleanup crew. The Nature Preserve team then moved onto Cupid’s Cay, the Local Government Administrative building, the Cemetery, and Laughing Bird apartments – which saw extensive dam-age to their waterfront gardens. Mark intends to expand the reach of his team’s helping hands into sur-rounding settlements during the com-ing weeks as well.

According to Daniels, The Nature Pre-serve, under normal circumstances, is open all year round. However, due to the storm, the Trust’s staff are taking the opportunity to do a thor-ough clean up and preparation of the property, ahead ofthe new school and tourist seasons. He anticipates an October re-opening.
