This 25-Acre sanctuary, created jointly by the Bahamas National Trust (BNT) and the Leon Levy Foundation, is the first National Park on Eleuthera, and is said to be the first of its kind in the region. The Preserve protects 25 acres of coppice and mangrove forest, with the goal of conserving indigenous species, and it promotes education, conservation, preservation and research. Visitors will learn about Eleuthera's history and prehistory, the large variety of native flora and fauna, traditional uses of native trees and shrubs on the Medicinal Plant Trail, which groups plants according to the ailments they treat, and be able to sample what the locals refer to as bush tea. The Mangrove Boardwalk will take you through an otherwise inaccessible wetland ecosystem. Birders will enjoy the Coppice Trail through a Bahamian hardwood forest where birds abound.There is also a Welcome Center and Gift Shop, as well as an open-air Education Pavilion.Educational programs available include:Themed Field TripsTeacher TrainingYouth Summer CampAdvance reservations are required to ensure the date and time desired.Hours of operation: 9:00 a.m. 5:00 p.m
