As part of their Service Learning – Experiential Education Programme, these young volunteers dedicated their time and energy to support the Joseph Reynold O’Neal Botanic Gardens and Sage Mountain National Park.

The initiative saw students tackling a variety of tasks, both big and small, from planting new flora to maintaining trails and cleaning up litter.

The National Parks Trust of the Virgin Islands praised their efforts in a recent Facebook post, highlighting the tangible difference the students made over the two days.

“The enthusiastic crew tackled jobs big and small and really helped,” the National Parks Trust stated. Their gratitude was palpable, reflecting the significant impact the students’ work had on the parks’ upkeep and preservation.

Cedar International School’s Service Learning – Experiential Education Programme is designed to blend community service with hands-on educational experiences.

The Joseph Reynold O’Neal Botanic Gardens, known for its lush landscapes and diverse plant species, benefitted greatly from the students’ efforts. Meanwhile, Sage Mountain National Park, home to the highest peak in the Virgin Islands, saw improved trails and a cleaner environment thanks to their hard work.

For those inspired by the Cedar International School students’ dedication, the National Parks Trust of the Virgin Islands welcomes volunteers.
