In the aftermath of Hurricane Dorian in September 2019, the island of Grand Bahama lost a lot of its vegetation including coconut and fruit trees. To assist with the restoration of the fruit trees the Rotary Club of Eleuthera partnered with The Rotary Club of Freeport on the Island of Grand Bahama on this environmental and community project. The Rotary Club of Eleuthera donated one hundred and seventy plus fruit trees which comprised mainly of coconut, banana, and citrus.
The majority of the trees were planted at Pelican Point and Sweeting’s Cay. Special thanks to The Rotary Club of Freeport and PP Mike Stafford for collaborating with the Rotary Club of Eleuthera, PP Francisco DeCardenas, Bahamas Ferries, Grand Bahama Port Authority, Phil’s Woodwork for constructing the crates for transport, RCE Members and LaShawn McPhee.
