For the preservation of our past and the promise of our future....

If you're thinking a year ahead, sow seeds;
If you're thinking 10 years ahead, plant a tree;
If you're thinking 100 years ahead, EDUCATE PEOPLE.

Our educational objective is to increase public awareness and support for the Environmental and Historic Programmes in order to empower people of all ages  to get involved in achieving the Trust's mission to preserve natural environment and places of historic significance for the present and future generations of the Cayman Islands.

 

Information Sheets are available from the menu at the bottom of every page on our website. We'll be adding to this list continuously - if you have any suggestions for future Information Sheets please contact the Trust.


Teachers!

The National Trust has been working with the Education Department to ensure that our resources are cited in the New National Curriculum and made available to the educators of the Cayman Islands. Our staff can offer information, presentations and field trips. Feel free to contact the National Trust at 749-1121 and remember, the Trust is here for you!
