Eve’s Pond Reserve

This property was once the site of an inland tidal pond from which it gets its name. An extensive underground cave system connected the pond to Harrington Sound and the sea off the nearby North Shore. In the 1940s the pond was filled with sand dredged from Flatts Inlet. A forest of large casuarinas and other invasive species took over the site.

In 2020/2021 Buy Back Bermuda restored the property as a publicly accessible nature reserve. The casuarinas were removed, the pond was re-dug and hundreds of specimens of native and endemic flora were planted. Habitats include rocky coastline with tide pools, an inland valley and an upland hillside. The restored pond is proving a hub for shorebirds and waterfowl, which can be viewed from the bird hide.
