Bermuda National Trust – ANNUAL CHILDREN’S NATURE WALK at Spittal Pond

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

One of Bermuda’s most spectacular open spaces, this 64 acre reserve is part of a necklace of wetlands along the South Shore, providing a diversity of habitats and an amazing variety of birds.  While home to many native and endemic plants, Spittal Pond has unique features such as Spanish Rock, the oldest evidence of humans on the island, and the checkerboard, a geological formation of marine limestone with a distinct pattern of cracks.
Children and parents will have the opportunity to experience nature first hand, as they are taken along the route by the Trust’s enthusiastic guides, stopping at points of interest to learn about the plants and wildlife of the pond and forest from some of the island’s leading environmental experts.
