The Leon Levy Native Plant Preserve (LLNPP) –\u00a0 a distinguished botanic garden and the first national park on Eleuthera – has completed Phase Three of its development with the construction of new administrative, science, and educational facilities on the property.<\/p>\n

A recent opening ceremony at the national park marked this milestone, with The Preserve founder Shelby White, Minister of Public Works & Family Island Affairs and Member of Parliament for South and Central Eleuthera the Hon. Clay Sweeting, Leon Levy Foundation President Meredith Moss, BNT partners, local government, donors, staff, and community members\u00a0 in attendance.<\/p>\n

The Bahamas\u2019 premier botanical institution, the Leon Levy Native Plant Preserve is an internationally accredited regional leader in plant conservation and research. Nestled within the heart of Governor\u2019s Harbour, Eleuthera, this natural gem was the first national park established on the island, and has been open to the public since 2011. Created in honour of Shelby\u2019s late husband Leon Levy to commemorate their shared love of Eleuthera\u2019s beautiful landscape and traditional bush medicine culture, the 30-acre preserve protects and promotes appreciation for the natural heritage of the island and The Bahamas.<\/p>\n

During the ceremony, The Preserve Founder Shelby White said: \u201cYou can have an idea, but without the incredible support of the BNT, and the people of Eleuthera, none of this would be possible. I am so grateful for all of the amazing people that helped to fulfill this vision. This is not our final phase, we will continue to grow and I hope everyone will join us on this incredible journey.\u201d<\/i><\/b>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” css=”.vc_custom_1698175742957{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 2em !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″][vc_column_text el_class=”modting” css=”.vc_custom_1704829988669{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Phase Two added a lathhouse, a freshwater wetland display, an edible history section, and a weather station. Now, Phase Three\u2019s completion will allow the renowned botanical garden to amplify its contributions to science, conservation, and education, both regionally and internationally. Phase Three saw the addition of a new office space, staff building, workshop and storage facilities, and a multipurpose building that can be used for various activities and events.<\/p>\n

Minister Sweeting said: \u201c<\/i>The Levy Preserve is home to one of the most beautiful natural spaces on our island, and is carefully crafted to ensure that native flora and fauna thrive. Many celebrations have been held here and many visitors have walked her paths, gaining knowledge and appreciation for the beauty that surrounds us here on Eleuthera. Today we celebrate another milestone and I would like to express my gratitude to The Bahamas National Trust for their continuous efforts towards a sustainable Bahamas and I commend them for continuing to work along with the government and local stakeholders to ensure everyone is involved in preserving our environment. I would also like to thank Shelby White for her passion for Eleuthera, and our people, and look forward to the next phase of the Levy Preserve.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

BNT Executive Director Lakeshia Anderson-Rolle said: \u201cThis occasion not only marks the tremendous growth of the Levy Preserve but also signifies the Leon Levy Foundation\u2019s enduring commitment to conservation and to the community here in Eleuthera. The Preserve has transformed remarkably over the years and has blossomed into a wonderful epicentre for education, conservation, and recreation.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The Opening ceremony for Phase Three also officially launched \u2018A Jewel of Tropical Botany\u2019, a unique book chronicling the history of the LLNPP, available for the first time in print. Through it, readers will experience the vivid colors, diverse species, and rich stories that make The Preserve a living part of Bahamian history. Photographs, illustrations, and narratives come together to highlight the garden\u2019s incredible flora and fauna, trails, and other exciting features. \u2018A Jewel of Tropical Botany\u2019 is an excellent resource for students and researchers, especially those interested in or studying horticulture, botany, or plant sciences; but anyone can enjoy this book.<\/p>\n

\u2018A Jewel of Tropical Botany\u2019<\/a> can be purchased at gift shops located in national parks throughout The Bahamas, including: the LLNPP<\/a> in Eleuthera; The Retreat Garden and Primeval Forest in New Providence; The Rand Nature Centre in Grand Bahama; and The Exuma Cays Land & Sea Park Headquarters in Warderick Wells, Exuma.<\/p>\n

The Opening ceremony concluded with a ribbon cutting, tour of the new facilities, and a reception at the Welcome Centre.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” css=”.vc_custom_1698175742957{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 2em !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/6″][vc_column_text el_class=”modting” css=”.vc_custom_1704829839041{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
