Environmental experts and Bermuda College students guided children through Warwick Pond nature trails on Tuesday.

The annual Children's Nature Walk, hosted by the Bermuda National Trust, was held at Warwick Pond.

Many students gathered despite the poor weather to embark on a hike through the newly made trails at Warwick Pond.

The trails have interpretative signs along the edge of the pond and through the allspice forest.

Warwick Pond is the second largest freshwater pond in Bermuda and an important sanctuary for birds.

An East End Primary student, Antonia Debraga told The Royal Gazette: "I'm excited to go. I've got drinks in my knapsack.

Ashton White, of St. George's Prep said: "It is my first walk, I'm excited to learn about nature.

He did not think he would get tired during the hour long walk.

Cousins Dezico Harford and Ardon Heyliger said they were both excited.

But Ardon said he might get tired and Dezico said he'd have plenty of energy.

Dr. Nicola O'Leary organised the event which normally takes place at Spittal Pond.

"The walk has been going on for about 25 years. It is normally at Spittal pond but that is closed.

"The Government Primary schools are currently on holiday so, the walk was scheduled to fit into their holiday."

Experts and Bermuda College students studying Biology gave talks at all of the different stations on birds, frogs, plants, and other aspects of nature.

Alnisha Simmons, who works with The National Trust Educational Committee and is a lecturer at The Bermuda College said: "Every year we bring students from the college who study Biology to train them as tour guides." About 18 students came to tour the children.

Among the experts that spoke at the stations where, Jeremy Madeiros, Government Conservation Officer, Jennifer Gray, Bermuda Aquarium and Zoo head aquarist, and Dr. David Wingate, conservationist.
