In collaboration with the Forestry Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, Levera Resort Development Ltd has completed the second phase of its on-going re-vegetation programme at Levera Beach.

In an intensive five-day effort last week, the company planted some 400 trees along the western end of Levera Beach. Varieties included coconut, almond and sea grape, some of which had been donated by the Ministry.

The species and locations chosen were carefully planned to continue the Company’s long-term commitment to protecting the beach from erosion and maintaining a safe environment for the nesting sea turtles that visit the area every breeding season.

Project Director Mr Craig Keller said: “The Company has been working closely with the Forestry Department and the Ministry on the rehabilitation of Levera Beach, which we see as a very important long term investment in improving and protecting a valuable environmental resource in the North of the island. We look forward to continued collaboration in the future.”
