Today marks Earth Day, which has been celebrated by Clarien Bank with donations of 300 native trees.
The Bermuda cedar, palmetto, olive wood and bay grape saplings will be given out today to clients and residents.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, trees were planted on the grounds of Elliot Primary and Victor Scott Primary School.
The bank’s reforestation effort dates back to October 2014, when hurricanes Fay and Gonzalo downed trees across the island.
Trees will be given out at Clarien on a first-come basis from 11am until 2pm.
