Restoring the J R O'Neal Botanic Garden after the devastation of Hurricane Earl
In short: Discover how the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, partners with the National Parks Trust of the British Virgin Islands to revitalize local ecosystems. This video highlights the collaborative effort to rebuild a vital Caribbean botanical space following significant storm damage.
The J R O'Neal Botanic Garden in the British Virgin Islands serves as a focal point for conservation efforts in the Caribbean. Following the severe impact of Hurricane Earl in 2010, the garden required extensive redevelopment and replanting to recover its ecological and aesthetic value.
Kew's UK Overseas Territories team maintains a long-standing partnership with the National Parks Trust to provide technical support and expertise. Recent site visits by Kew staff demonstrate the practical application of international botanical collaboration in restoring landscapes affected by extreme weather events.
