Cayman Islands Wild Trees and Shrubs
Rare
trees gated off as bypass clearance starts Jan.19,
2012
Having committed
to protecting important and significant wildlife that maybe at risk in its road
plans Dart said Wednesday it had saved some rare bushes that were identified on
the planned new by-pass road to West
Bay. Officials from the
firm revealed in a release that some rare Washwood trees were being gated off
and protected from the road development. During last summer Dart had worked
with local environmentalist, Ann
Stafford, and a concerted effort was made to preserve rare
and endangered species. The Discovery of the Wash Wood Trees (Jacquinia
keyensis), between Yacht Drive and the eventual intersection of Esterley
Tibbetts Highway Extension with Batabano Road led to steps to protect them.
