Has anyone been to the Harrold and Wilson Ponds National Park?

I got a chance to go over spring break, they are still constructing the walkway so right now your a little limited on how far you can go in....but it's pretty impressive and there are signs that have interesting information on wildlife and fauna.

Unfortunately the park apparently doesn't open during the week anymore (open on the weekend though)....it used to be left open but someone came in and stole a bunch of the wooden planks that were to be used for construction and also stole the copper caps.

I have never been there even though I have to drive past it onthe highway.

The stealing part is nasty though. Not to be offenceive, but there are alot of Haitian shantytows in that area.....maybe some of that stuff can be found there?

I would like to look at the pond. Is it anything like the clifton project?

The wood and copper could have ended up in a Haitian shantytown....but its sad that someone would steal from the national park.

Not sure if its like the Clifton project, haven't been there in a long time.

BACARDI GIVES $150,000 TO THE BAHAMAS NATIONAL

Nassau, Bahamas, February 20, 2008—As part of its ongoing commitment to the advancement of The Bahamas, Bacardi & Company Limited today announced a $150,000 donation to The Bahamas National Trust to further the environmental conservation of natural and historic resources of The Bahamas and its national park system.

Bacardi’s gift specifically supports the Harrold and Wilson Ponds National Park, the first national park in New Providence. The Bacardi donation will allow for the extension of the boardwalk nature trail, as well as the construction of a viewing platform to observe the more than 100 different bird species in the park, including the globally threatened Bahama Swallow.

“Bacardi is thrilled to be making this donation for the betterment of The Bahamas and our precious national parks,” said Andy Fowler, vice president of administration, human resources and environmental compliance for Bacardi & Company Limited. “Around the world, Bacardi makes environmental stewardship a top priority.”

The Bahamas National Trust Executive Director Eric Carey said, “The Trust has big dreams for this national parkdreams of school children working in outdoor classrooms, families walking along the boardwalks and trails and nature enthusiasts staring in wonder at the beautiful species that call The Bahamas home. We also dream of a first-class visitor centre with informative educational exhibits. We thank Bacardi for its generous support in helping make these dreams a reality.”

The Bahamas National Trust was established by an Act of Parliament in 1959. It is a non-governmental, self-funded, non-profit organization, mandated with the development and management of the National Park System of The Bahamas. The Trust makes vital contributions to fisheries and wildlife management, environmental protection, historic preservation, coastal zone management, sustainable development, environmental impact assessment, game bird management and tourism development.

“Bacardi – both the corporation and the family – have been great supporters of The Bahamas National Trust for many years. We encourage other corporations and private citizens to follow suit,” added Francisco Carrera-Justiz, chairman of the board of Bacardi & Company Limited and the former president and chief executive officer of the Nassau facility.

Bacardi announced the $150,000 donation to The Trust this morning at an event at the Harrold and Wilson Ponds National Park alongside Minister of Culture Hon. Charles Maynard; Minister of Lands & Local Government Hon. Sidney Collie; Minister of Works

LOL LOL LOL LOL...You may be quite right about that.

It is a nice place to birdwatch. Tons of birds. The adjoining beach is nice too,and very photogenic. And it is still clean, although you starting to see the KFC trash in da bushes. SMT.

Kenfuncky needs to make their trash more biodegradable - if you leave a drink in your car for too long the cup will collapse and ruin your apholstry but have some hood getting a quick blow for a chicken dinner toss some trash on the street which gets dragged down the road and fought over by potcakes and the cup lives on as bright red trash forever?
