Well, today was our last day at the Boyd Hill Nature Park with Mr George and we spent the whole morning walking from one side of the Park to the other...looking around us every step of the way to see what we could see. We also learned about how we could help to preserve the environment for the future - to ensure that there is still a habitat for all these wonderful reptiles, amphibians, birds and animals in the years to come. We looked at some of the invasive plants that take over the habitat and prevent the native plants from growing. Without the native plants, the creatures that rely on them for food will not survive. There are many volunteers in the park who will spend time helping to cut back on these invasive species. It is also necessary to clear up litter and other pollutants that affect the water, the plants and therefore the animals. There are many things that we can teach others about to care for nature while still enjoying the things we like doing. All the plants and animals in a habitat rely on each other for survival - if we allow any of them to decline then we affect the whole system. So - we hope that we can educate others when we return to Cayman...look out for our messages in the weeks to come!
