This website is to inform viewers about the various enviornmental aspects of Bermuda. In this project we had to interview a senior manager from an organization or Bermuda Government department that contributes in some way to land use management in Bermuda. What the organization does; the aspects of the land use managetn it impacts; and any current projects, challenges or areas of major concern for the organization. Our group has focoused on The Bermuda National Trust. Through our research we gained an understanding of how land is mananaged in Bermuda and perserved. The Bermuda National Trust is a charity, established in 1970 to preserve natural, architectural and historic treasures and to encourage public appreciation of them. The Trust’s programmes and activities are focused in the key areas of Preservation, Education and Advocacy. Its purpose is to ensure that Bermuda’s unique heritage remains protected for future generations. There motto is " To Protect and Promote Bermuda's unique natual and cultural heritage forever."
