National Trust for the Cayman Islands

The National Trust has been protecting the future of Cayman's heritage since its inception in 1987. The Trust is a not-for-profit NGO created to preserve the history and biodiversity of the Cayman Islands. Through education and conservation we work to protect environmentally-sensitive and historically-significant sites across all three Cayman Islands. ENVIRONMENT Our first priority for Cayman's natural environment is the establishment of a system of protected areas. These nature sites are essential for the survival of native plant and animal species. HISTORY Through the preservation of historic sites in the Cayman Islands, we safeguard our unique heritage. EDUCATION Adults and children alike are exposed to Cayman's natural environment and heritage through lectures, historic walking tours, a dedicated student programme, a herbarium and an insectarium. CONSERVATION Scientific field research allows us to study and further our knowledge of Cayman's native and indigenous species and to protect the habitats in which they live.
