 PPC Ltd. has donated $12,000 to the Department of Environment and Coastal Resources to help maintain the Bight park and promote environmental conservation in the Turks and Caicos Islands. Employees of PPC are also organising days to help clean-up and maintain the popular new park. The Bight park is used for a variety of recreational as well as educational purposes, and the DECR has identified key areas where PPC’s donation can be put to good use. Additions are planned for the children’s recreational area of the park as well as the initiation of a public awareness programme to promote biodiversity conservation and management throughout the islands. “This donation by PPC will go a long way in helping ensure that the park is maintained and remains available for use by the public,” said Wesley Clerveaux, DECR director. “We encourage business and public groups to keep the Bight park in mind when planning recreational activities.” Eddinton Powell, CEO of PPC, said his company is committed to promoting youth development and maintenance of the Bight park. “Our support for the DECR also goes with our mandate to do what we can to protect our environment,” Powell said. “We also encourage other corporate entities to be mindful of their effect on the environment and do all possible to help protect our environment.”
