Employees at Ace Bermuda donated a few hours of their time to work on beautifying the Rebecca Middleton Nature Reserve.

On November 6, the Ace Bermuda Technology Team helped transform the reserve, held by the Bermuda National Trust, by managing the invasive plant species.

The volunteers worked all day on the project and said in a statement: "We are proud to have been involved with such a great project. It was a huge undertaking, but the end result was well worth the effort.

"Not only was this a good team building experience, it was also extremely satisfying to know that we were giving back to our community."

Robert Chandler, field co-ordinator for the Trust called the participants "eco-heroes" and said: "The team worked tirelessly throughout the day and did a tremendous job in beautifying the reserve, removing invasive plants and enhancing its attractiveness with new endemic plantings; work which will be noticed and appreciated by all who use the reserve and pass by on the adjacent Paget Railway Trail.

"The Bermuda National Trust is in gratitude for their efforts. Other organisations wishing to carry out similar work are encouraged to contact the Trust."

The Trust encourages all members of the corporate community to take part in similar action days that will not only benefit the environment, but everyone who participates.

The Rebecca Middleton Nature Reserve is on Ord Road, Paget, next to the S-Hill Land Nature Reserve on a popular section on the Railway Trail. It is named after the murdered Canadian teenager.
