The PDM Shadow Minister for the Environment on Friday, October 31st, 2014 together with a small group led by the National Trust walked the Bird Rock Point Field Trail.

This activity was preceded by the Official Opening Ceremony at Bird Rock Point in Long Bay, which saw the attendance of various stakeholders including the Hon Leader of the Opposition, Hon Sharlene Cartwright Robinson.

“It is so important that we protect our heritage and our natural environment. For me, it brought back memories of stories told to me by my mother who walked this field trail while playing vital roles in the trade industry of yesteryear. It was certainly a privilege to be a part of the first group to tour this historical site.

I wish to encourage persons to embrace the opportunity and expose our children, residents and tourists to this positive and beautiful part of our history. I wish to remind us all that protecting these sites is everyone’s business” says Hon Ewing.  ” I also wish to extend my very best wishes to the Natural Trust and pledge my support and that of my Party  to your continued and sterling efforts to preserve and protect our heritage.”

The development of Bird Rock Point is the current project of the Turks and Caicos National Trust. It consists of 111.08 acres of land and is one of the historical sites of the Turks & Caicos Islands.
